What to do in your free time

Although it offers the variety of a metropolis many times its size, this city of 140,000 residents manages to retain a small-town charm and sense of security. Visitors to the Business School Complex on Central Campus will discover tree-lined streets, historic homes, and modern facilities adjacent to classic campus architecture, museums, libraries, specialty shops, countless coffee bars and bookstores, and plenty of parks and bicycle paths.

The Main Street area--just a few blocks from Central Campus--is a great place to dine, shop, and stroll. Eat dinner at an elegant Italian restaurant, sample fresh beer at one of Ann Arbor's three brewpubs, or listen to live music at The Firefly jazz club, or The Ark...just a few of the many activities to choose from.

Several blocks further to the north, you'll find the Kerrytown area of Ann Arbor. On Saturdays, the Farmer's Market takes place; indoor Kerrytown shops are open every day of the week and include everything from fish markets to flower sellers to designer clothing stores. And just around the corner you'll find Zingerman's, Ann Arbor's famous New York-style deli, one of the most popular eateries in the city.

The corporate side of Ann Arbor is flourishing, too. Industrial parks and new corporate complexes abound where companies such as Domino's Pizza, and Borders Group, Inc. have made their headquarters.
