We do our best to accommodate the broad range of interests and activity levels. Since so much time is spent in class, some level of outside physical activity is welcome. The dress for class is business casual, which at the end of 2 weeks can shift to more casual. In the 2 weeks, about 1 day of rain is typical, though there have been years of 3 or 4 days. Just in case, a portable umbrella is recommended.
Lake effects result in rapidly changing weather patterns.
Classes are held inside an air-conditioned classroom, but with so many people in class, it is difficult to find a temperature that is ideal for everyone. For that reason, we suggest you bring a sweater. If you forget, you can go next door to the bookstore and buy a Michigan sweatshirt. We do not get a cut from the bookstore on sales. Because Ann Arbor is a college town, the attire when people go out is casual.
