The University of Michigan and Ann Arbor

Ranked as the #2 Best College Town in America, Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan go together like Maize and Blue! With more than 43,000 undergrad and graduate students, campus life is interwoven with city life.  If you decide to stay in Michigan past the conference, recreational opportunities offer both big city attractions and wide open spaces with scenic trails to explore. Kick back and relax at an independent bookstore nestled downtown, or grab a bite to eat in the famous Zingerman's Delicatessen & Bakery in Kerrytown. Whether you want to take a stroll along the Huron River or join the raging crowd on Saturday afternoon at The Big House, Ann Arbor has you covered. Just about 50 minutes east you can also visit Detroit and immerse yourself in it's unique culture. You can go sight-seeing and discover the area's distinctive architecture, visit The Henry Ford, one of America's premier historical attractions, or you can pass through Hitsville U.S.A., home to the Motown Museum where you could see where the birth of historical music and a remarkable legacy began.
