Ann Arbor is defined by the University of Michigan, one of the country’s top public research universities, and by Michigan Medicine, its large academic medical center. The university’s research, engineering and business programs have helped seed a strong local economy of software, mobility, life sciences and automotive engineering firms, many with offices downtown or in nearby research parks. The city’s walkable downtown, Kerrytown market district and arts calendar give it an appeal well beyond the campus.

Ann Arbor is about 40 miles west of downtown Detroit, and the big airline airport lies roughly half an hour east. Ann Arbor Municipal Airport is just south of the city, and Willow Run is a short drive toward Ypsilanti, so a private flight can bring patients, researchers, recruiters, parents and alumni closer to campus with less hassle. Football Saturdays at Michigan Stadium, the largest stadium in the country, draw more than 100,000 fans. Visitors also come for Zingerman’s, the university museums, the Nichols Arboretum and concerts at Hill Auditorium.
