People who’ve spent time in California pick USC. Ignorance is bliss if you think Ann Arbor, Michigan is a special place. It is currently 39 degrees and freezing rain in Ann Arbor. |

I am a Wisconsin alum. The bolded, absolutely not. Michigan is a top school in just about every major and program. USC has a better film school, but otherwise, no. |

Well, if its good enough for president's daughter, its good enough for majority. |

| There's very little different between Michigan, Wisconsin and Ohio State. Gigantic engineering powers in the middle on nowhere with cold depressing weather. Rah-rah sporty and social scene dominated by rich kids in Greek life. |

Those major rankings are pretty worthless. Either way, USC engineering is top 15, Michigan is top 10. A USC engineer isn't getting offered less money than a Michigan engineer. Ross and Marshall b-schools are peers. USC weather and location (economy and internships) are tops. USC is private and smaller, so more student resources per capita. If you really clamor for a big university college town experience, why not pursue merit money from an ACC or SEC university? Freezing cold and walking through a foot of snow most of the school year is about the least charming thing I can think of. |

+2. I’m surprised by the answers. Ann Arbor is a great college town and with good academics/recruiting. |

Imho she probably wanted USC to begin with but timings weren't socially acceptable to go there amid celebrity admission scandals, picking a state school reflected well on her parents. |

| If one is rich and famous, college and major choice isn't nearly as important as it is for an average person. |

| Regardless of a need, rich and famous still send kids to elite schools. |

Sasha transferred to USC after only 3 semesters at Michigan. No surprise, she transferred during Christmas Break, before the brutal winter term. |

| I have two degrees from Big Ten schools and loved college but if I could go back in time, I would have applied to USC. I visited a high school friend at USC my senior year of college and it was so pretty. This was pre iPhones, so it was true eye-opener. I was so jealous. There is nothing romantic about going to college in a cold climate flyover region. Unless you're at an Ivy, then maybe all that snow and slush is worth it? Maybe. |

| USC has everything that Mich offers, plus sunshine, perfect weather, beaches, la, and a private school setting. USC for the win. |
