Colorado is freaking gorgeous and booming. In contract to say Michigan, which is grey, cold and flat. And outside of Ann Arbor, the state is full of opioid overdoses and overall in steep decline (losing another congressional district this year).

Michigan is a better school by any metric. UC is a good school in a fantastic setting.

And yes, I guess you have never heard of the dunes in Michigan. Yes, of course the skiing in Colorado is better. That is why busloads of UM students go to skii out west during breaks every year.

Undergrad? Better to who? Public university bachelor's degrees are a dime a dozen. Outside of the Ivies or unless you remain in state after graduation, nobody gives a darn where it's from and whomever is sifting through resumes (likely AI) couldn't care less about Boulder vs Michigan.

And I assure you college kids don't give a crap about "sand dunes" 4 hours north of Ann Arbor in Traverse City nor the laughable skiing options in Northern Michigan. lol

It's "whoever". "Who" is the subject. You use "whom" when it's the object --- "Whoever is sorting through resumes will pick whomever they want."

Also, UM is wildly ahead of CU in terms of academic reputation. Whoever is sorting through grad school applications couldn't care less how good the skiing was near the applicant's school.

Is it weird that the anti-MI person seems to be googling the distances between Ann Arbor and various other parts of the state? Also, why is the quality of skiing the determining factor? This person is oddly invested in attacking MI...

The above comment is probably the dumbest statement that I’ve read here, which is saying a lot!

I'd disagree that Rice is overrated. I think it's grossly underrated. I attended Rice and Stanford at a time when they weren't perceived as being in the same league. Oh, yes they are.

+1. The “UVA is overrated” person has some unresolved issues. Perhaps they are the same person. Just ignore.

Michigan is popular with the DC crowd? Wow, that says a lot for a school that is over 500 miles away in the Midwest. In the meantime, it’s definitely UVA.
