Hopefully the elevated portion is just to get across the lower elevations of the Huron river valley. Light rail does not like steep grades. I think its about a 100 foot drop from the medical campus to the low lying areas next to the river. North Campus is also on higher land.
After my first two years at UM, I avoided the bus problem by moving to North Campus were most of my (engineering) classes were.
