"What I like most about Ross is the professors who are very passionate about and professional in their research field. Their passion makes me energetic, and their professionalism inspired me to think more beyond the knowledge."  - MBA Exchange Student 
 
"The exchange program was a pretty nice experience for me who hadn't been in America before. The people in Midwest America are friendly, humble and easy-going. It's a great chance to allow me to get closer to American culture, people and education. I'm impressed by the management, infrastructure and value of U of M. It's an open and free environment, which encourages any student to pursue excellence in academy, sports, leadership, and other perspectives. International students have access to assistance and care from school, which made us feel that we were welcome and not isolated by any local community. I opened my eyes and got more confidence and positive thinking during the exchange at Ross. I'd like to recommend students from my home school HEC Paris to have exchange experience here." -Shun Chen, MBA Exchange Student from HEC Paris 
 
"I loved my first football game in Ann Arbor. It was an exhilarating experience! Fall is probably the most beautiful time to visit Ann Arbor. You get a bit of summer, fall and winter, with a touch of snow. Ann Arbor is a proper student town that is fun to live in as it not only has a young vibe to it but also the University spirit you are looking for." -Devika Punchhi, BBA Exchange Student from The Business School, City University of London

GO BLUE!!!" -Lukas Ebner, MBA Exchange Student from University of St. Gallen
