What do M&O PhD students do in their free time? Do they have free time?
The first two years of the program are extremely time consuming, but our students make time for hobbies and interests from day one to keep balanced. A couple of students are regulars at yoga, one is an avid tennis player, another is a swimmer, and one enjoys basketball. Additionally, students participate in various musical activities, knitting, and hiking. There is a PhD Student government in the Ross School (The PhD Forum) which puts on various social activities for students throughout the year as well. These activities include kayaking, bowling, karaoke and happy hours. The Ann Arbor community has all sorts of cultural events and eateries as well. Some of our students are also regular attendees at UM football games. Go Blue!
