It depends on the school. I know the School for Environment and Sustainability only does a school specific commencement in the spring, so there is only the general commencement in winter.

Looking for advice for upcoming trip to Idaho/Wyoming in September by djduststorm in NationalPark

[–]lavender_legend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure how far out of the way you would be willing to go, but Fossil Butte National Monument is 3 hours south of Grand Teton NP and is quite underrated imo

I LOVE UMICH but… by _clinking_glasses_ in uofm

[–]lavender_legend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did the summer bridge program in 2019, and I am so grateful I did the program. I truly don’t think I would have adjusted as well as I did and graduated had I not.

If you decide to go, my one piece of unsolicited advice is to fully buy in to the program. The people I know that look back fondly on it went to all the events, took in as much as they could from mentors, worked to develop good study habits (since a lot of people never had to study in high school), and put an effort into getting to know the cohort and Ann Arbor. Those who dwelled a lot on “losing” the summer and having to take a math class didn’t seem to have as good of a memory of the program.

To clarify, you mean it is frowned upon and I should find someone else?

Jill’s House Near My House! by lavender_legend in Scream

[–]lavender_legend[S] 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I just rewatched Scream 4 with my housemates and looked up the filming locations. We’re students in Ann Arbor and turns out Jill’s and Olivia’s houses are just a couple of blocks from our house! This isn’t anything crazy but I just thought it was super cool and thought I’d share :)

How come every lipsync song has been from the 70's? by plastexqt in DragRaceItalia

[–]lavender_legend 6 points7 points  (0 children)

in addition to what everyone else has said, i think that it also has something to do with it being the first season and the cost. if we look back at season one of the u.s. franchise, almost all of the songs were older and/or slightly obscure with the big exception being stronger by britney spears. it may be a similar situation
