I learned today that I will most likely be attending graduate school in Detroit-area next year (and for the next several years!). It's a fantastic program, and the only reason I was slightly apprehensive about accepting the offer was because of the reputation that this area gets . I'll actually be on the Canadian side (Windsor), but I will surely be completing practicums and spending lots of spare time (read: shopping!) on the US side.

I'm completely new to the area, so I would appreciate any advice regarding shopping, eating, living, entertainment, transportation, or anything else you can think of Thanks everyone!
