University of Michigan

Mohammed Ali Abazeed (Fordson ’08, U-M ’12)

Who’s the best professor you’ve had so far?
“I was fortunate enough to take a course with Ralph Williams, who has been at the University for over 30 years and will be retiring at the end of this year. Even though the class was in religion, I walked out every day having learned something new about life itself. He was life-altering.”

Abbas Alawieh (Fordson ’08, U-M ’12)

What’s your favorite spot on campus, and why?
“The steps leading up to Angell Hall. Every time I walk into that building, I think, “Wow. I can’t believe I actually attend school here!””

Abdallah Ali (Fordson ’08, U-M ’12)

What's the best class you've taken?
“The best class I have had so far is Organic Chemistry 2 lab with Dr. Masato Koreeda. He is always available to help, has all-day office hours, and is there for his students; also, he writes with both hands on the chalk board... think about that for a second!”

Ali Beydoun (Fordson ’08, U-M ’12)

What’s your favorite Michigan sport?
“Attending Michigan football games is unlike any other sporting experience. Professional sports don’t compare to the fan base and the fun.”

Hussein Fardous (Fordson ’08, U-M ’12)

What’s the first thing a new U-M student should do when they get to campus?
“Tour the campus in its entirety. The campus is so large and vivid that it would be a definite loss if someone didn’t see and experience all that it has to offer.”

Zainab Farhat (Fordson ’08, U-M ’12)

How has Michigan changed the way you think?
“It is astounding to encounter so many open minds amongst the students and faculty. The ability for such a diverse group of people to live together in one community is fascinating. It makes you wonder why such an ability isn’t apparent on a global level.”

Hussein Hamid (Fordson ’08, U-M ’12)

What would you tell Fordson Seniors about U-M?
“If your goal is to be amongst the leaders and best of this world, go to the University of Michigan. I hope that all Fordson students will realize the once-in a-lifetime chance they have to attend one of the top educational institutions in the entire world. ”
