Ann Arbor is home to many attractions. Supremely recognized as a college town, it is home to the University of Michigan, but not only that, it has karaoke night at The Blue Leprechaun on Wednesday nights, Happy Hour at Good Time Charley's, Pizza House until 4AM, the 3rd-largest residence hall in the country, football Saturdays at the Big House, Greek Life, The Maize Rage, friendship, and last but not least, the Central Campus Diag.
Socially, people who are from the Ann Arbor area bleed Michigan Maize and Blue. They love the tradition of the University of Michigan, especially in its athletics program. Whether it's the Winged Helmet, or the Block M, there's a strong sense of pride and appreciation within the sporting world. Michigan is known for its football helmet and their standard logo, but they're also known for the people and for the buildings in which they're named after. People like Gerald R. Ford, the former United States president, sported the legendary number 48 in his days as a linebacker on the Michigan defense. Fielding Yost, who the Ice Arena is named after, was one of the supreme coaches in Michigan football history. Stephen Ross, who owns the Miami Dolphins football franchise, is a donor of the university and the School of Business is famously nicknamed "Ross" because of his generous giving back to the university.
Another reason Ann Arbor is "Home" is because of its large diverse community. It's beyond the people, even though diversity is symbolized by the Modern Languages Buildings, the Trotter Multicultural Center, and even the International Studies program. It includes, but is not limited to, Greek Life, Church, (Culture Club - such as French Club, Chinese Club, or Polish Club), or the group that pertains to any major, such as MUgsS (Michigan Undergraduates in Statistics). Everybody finds a place in which they truly belong, whether it's studying computer science and coding, if it's with a string quartet, in a sorority, you name it. Every club or group that you try to fit in is the process of finding your interests. It's the process of finding your identity.
Academically, there are also people who the buildings are named after. The aforementioned Stephen Ross is one of them, but there are also people like Earl V. Moore, for whom the School of Music, Theatre, and Dance is named after, and the Art school is named after Penny W. Stamps, where the building is commonly called "Stamps". Music performances also happen in Stamps auditorium in that building, and are also prevalent in the Moore building too. The most commonly used recital hall in the Moore building is named after Benjamin Britton and his wife, and is hence named Britton Recital hall. Other buildings include the Kraus Natural Science building, and Angell Hall, Mason Hall, Tisch Hall, and Haven Hall.
Last, but not least, the biggest reason that Ann Arbor is Home is the central campus "Diag". Everything runs through the "Diag", where shows are performed outside, the block M is minted in the middle of it, and you can run through the "Diag" every day if you wanted to. People hang out in the "Diag" even if they're not students and just walk around to enjoy the beautiful view. When the weather is warm, it's time to pull out the hammocks and to relax in the beautiful sun and pull out a book to read. Go out and feel comfortable in Ann Arbor, because there's no place like Home.
