  • Very helpful and interesting content

    As a prospective student, this podcast has really helped me understand the culture that Ross embodies and promotes which is very appealing to me. I have had lots of questions answered through the interviews and have also enjoyed the Great Debate episode and The Storytelling episode! Keep up with the good work and I hope to one day be on the podcast or host it!

  • Laid-back and Informative

    I’m an undergraduate student at the University of Illinois at Chicago and I’m HUGE Michigan fan (accepted at UM for undergrad but could not afford it) and I plan on applying to Ross for grad school. When I found out about this podcast I was such a nerd and got excited. It’s very laid-back, fun and informative. Can’t wait to apply to Ross in the future. Go Blue!
