Michael's family traveled extensively during the brothers' childhoods, having made cross-country moves from Seattle, WA to Scarsdale, NY, then back to Seattle, WA, then to New York, NY, then to Newport Beach, CA, and back to Seattle, WA - all by the time Shulman was in 5th Grade. Shulman attended a number of well-known and elite American educational institutions, including the Lakeside School (Seattle, WA), Choate Rosemary Hall (Wallingford, CT), Tulane University (New Orleans, LA), and University of Arizona (Tucson, AZ), where in 1995 he graduated with a B.A. in Media and Popular Culture with a Minor Concentration in Merchandising, Fashion, and Consumer Studies.[1]
