"Living in Shipman Hall was the best thing to happen to me at Michigan. Not only were the other shippers a vital resource when it came time to study for an exam but they all became my best friends on campus. As a senior, there isn't a day that goes by in which I don't talk to a fellow Shipman." -Senior Amber Radtke
"I love living with everybody and getting to be around such awesome people all of the time. Our hall community is really close, and we have a great time hanging out every single day." -Freshman Adrienne Lemberger
"I love the environment here. It's really open/challenging/exciting/happy-happy." -Freshman Mari Birkett
What was it about the University of Michigan and/or the Shipman Society that made you want to study here?
"The Shipman Society made me come here. Michigan has a phenomenal engineering program, but there are other good schools and this is far away from home [Plano, Texas]. When I came to the recruitment weekend and got a glimpse of some of the benefits that the society receives, I was conviced. The way that the administration handles this scholarship society is incredible. They come to us knowing that they are approaching some of the strongest and most influential students on campus and ask us for our opinions and advice." -Senior Cody Martin
"Shipman, and the ability to continue my drumming here through the university and other local organizations. The really good engineering program and overall academic strength of UM was also pretty substantial." -Freshman Adrienne Lemberger
"Basically Michigan had everything I wanted: a strong engineering program, an
awesome marching band, a vibin' campus, responsive faculty, and a pretty
sweet group of shipmates." -Freshman Kevin Shallcross
the people involved with Shipman made me feel something more special than at the other places. I witnessed Shipman Society members as the top students in their respective schools, known by their administrative faculty on a first name basis. I heard of the excellence with which they led some of the most visible groups and organizations on campus." -Sophomore Kyle Antonini
