Happy first day of classes!! The International Center hopes that our students, new and returning, are having a great first day of their fall semester.   While classes may just be getting started, some of you may still be trying to get settled in your residence hall or apartment.  Because we couldn’t accommodate everyone on our Bed, Bath and Beyond  and IKEA shopping trips, we wanted to share some alternative shopping options for students still looking to purchase furniture.

Study Spaces I Love (and When to Use Them)  Written by Aurora Bi Summer Orientation Peer Advisor Graduate Student China, Guangzhou When I first arrived at the University of Michigan, I felt overwhelmed by how big the campus was  and how many places there were to study! Over time, I discovered that finding the right study space can really make a difference in how focused, relaxed, or motivated I feel. Now that I’ve explored different buildings and corners of campus, I want to share some of my favorite study spaces and when I like to use each of them. Shapiro Library: For Group Projects and Casual Study Shapiro Library is a popular spot for students who enjoy a more casual, flexible study environment. It’s ideal for group projects, brainstorming sessions, or just getting work done at your own pace. The open seating areas, group study rooms, and proximity to a café make it easy to settle in for a few hours. I often come here when I need to meet with classmates or switch up my ro...
