3. Michigan has quizzes every monday at 8am
4. UCSF only has classes until noon on most days
7. The weather in California is awesome, imagine running in shorts and a t-shirt in december
•••••3) at umich, the first year you have the option of taking the quizzes on fridays instead. you still have weekly quizzes, but at least you can enjoy the weekends, and the final exams don't count as much because you have some cushioning from the quizzes.
4) the second years at ucsf have a lot more class. i want to say it was something around 8 hours a day, but i could be wrong about that.
7) it is always cold at night in the bay area, especially in sf!! you may be able to wear shorts in the day time, but you'll need a sweater or coat at night, even in the summer.
i would probably still pick ucsf, but i thought i'd throw in a few points in defense of umich. 🙂 •••••Actually, on the new curriculum at UCSF, the first and second years have about the same workload (the imbalance between 1st and 2nd year was one of the things that was changed). We have most afternoons free, which is very nice.
Also, I can guarantee that you won't be running in shorts and a t-shirt in December here in SF (unless you're nuts or a polar bear). 😀 Like other posters mentioned, SF is often on the cooler side (50-60s), but it is pretty consistent. You won't ever have frigid winters, like you would in Michigan.
