    Hill Auditorium
  • Tip Rating:
  • Hill is an acousitcally perfect venue that hosts a variety of musical talents. If you are in Ann Arbor try to get tickets to a show playing there. You won't be disappointed by the sound quality of the theatre.

    If you are lucky enough to be there in October try and catch the Halloween Concert. The Music Students put on a classical concert with a musical theme of - you guessed it - Halloween. Don't forget to wear a costume!!

    Stroll past Ann Arbor's historic buildings
  • Tip Rating:
  • 1. Anson Brown Building (1001-1007 Broadway). This block, once known as Lower Town, is the oldest commerical building in the city being built in the 1830s. Continue southwest on Broadway via the Broadway Bridge to Beakes Street.
    2. Second Baptist Church (216 Beakes). This church was one of the first African American churches in the city, built in the 1890s. Continue down Beakes to Main Street.
    3. Kellogg-Warden House (500 N. Main). This house, was built in 1835 by the Kellogg and Warden families. One of the oldest houses in the city. It was moved from Lower Town to its present site and now houses a museum. Continue south down N. Main to Huron Street. Turn left .
    4. Silas Douglass House (502 East Huron). Built in 1848, this Gothic Revival was once owned by Silas Douglas, an early professor at the university and later the city mayor. Continue down Huron to State Street.
    5. Unitarian Church (corner of Huron & State). This Romanesque style church was built in 1882. Quite unique. From Huron turn right on State Street walking past the edge of campus.
    6. Newberry Hall (434 S. State). This building was once the U of M Student Christian Association in 1891. Today it's the Kelsey Museum (see other tips to do). Turn back on State Street . Turn left heading on E. William.
    7. Deke Shant Building (611 E. William). Built in 1878 and designed by U of M architecture professor William LeBaron Jenney, it was the first fraternity on campus. It's still owned by Delta Kappa Epsilon. Continue down E. William turning right on S. Division.
    8. Bennett-Kempf House (312 S. Division). This house was built in 1853 by postmaster Henry Bennett. Today it houses a museum.
    Continue up Division to E. Liberty turning left. Walk down to S. Fourth and turn left.
    9. Bethlehem Church (423 S. Fourth). Built in 1896 this beautiful stone church was built by the German community. Head back up S. 4th turning left on E. William and right on Main.
    10. End your walk on Main Street enjoying the many buildings that look just as they did in the 1870s.

    Canoe on the Huron
  • Tip Rating:
  • Rent a canoe or kayak and take a ride down the Huron River. Best time of year is in the spring or early summer when the water level is high. In the late autumn the water level can get so low that your canoe can hit the bottom in places, sometimes even causing you to have to get out and push your canoe into higher water.

    Walking around campus
  • Tip Rating:
  • University of Michigan is one of the largest public institutions in the US and is very highly regarded, both in academics and athlethics, Some great places to walk around and explore are State Street, The Diag, and the Law Quad. Just ask anyone who looks like a student where the places are.

  • Tip Rating:
  • College football with The Wolverines
    The Wolverines are the football team for the University of Michigan and consistantly one of the best in the country. In the autumn, it's often difficult to find tickets for a game, but catch it with a huge helping of cheering bar fans from one of the many pubs in Ann Arbor.

    Museum of Art
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Ann Arbor Museum of Art, isn't the Louvre, but it's worthwhile visit with lots of special activities. For example, VT member paxgothica enjoys the monthly (free) tea ceremonies that are held in the Japanese wing. There's a different tea cememoney each month with a host to explain what's happening as the ceremony takes place. The current temporary exhibit celebrates the work of Picasso.
