TOD - as a freshman at the University of Michigan I was placed in the newest dorm, which was on North Campus near the School of Music. Even though I had to ride a bus to get to Central Campus where all my classes met, I ended up staying out there all 4 years - 2 in that undergrad dorm and 2 in housing that was for juniors, seniors, and grad students. So many of my friends were music majors and I learned from them to appreciate classical music, including opera. One of my best friends, a piano/music education major, just retired from a distinguished teaching career at Eastern Michigan University.
