As a graduate of UM, I can tell you that you'll want a pair of BOOTS in addition to your shoes for Ann Arbor - so figure that into your budget. The snow begins to fly in November, and can last through March and April, i.e., six months of the eight month school year.
But gosh, have fun there. Visit Zingermann's as often as you can, there is nothing quite like it anywhere. Ashley's when you get a bit older. It's hard to find higher end clothing there, though there is a nice men's shop on State St. near the Arcade (they have shoes across the Arcade). The mall there is OK.
