Thriving might be overstating it a little.

Madison is a thriving beautiful city.

Ann Arbor is attracting substantial tech activity, which makes sense considering that U of M is making a big effort in that area with the engineering, information, and business schools. Outside of Grand Rapids and Traverse City, it is the only area in Michigan that is growing. And you might find more than a few residents who do not agree it is part of Metro Detroit. That is really Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb.

Agree with this completely. Some of my friends had parents who wouldn't pay for their Michigan applications because it's outside of the top25. I had a friend choosing between Emory and Michigan for engineering, ultimately chose Emory because of the superior ranking and prestige.

Now that sounds completely misguided, unless your friend plans to stay in metro Atlanta.

Ann Arbor doesn't hold a candle to Madison, and I love Ann Arbor.

Emory doesn't have engineering, you moron.

The same is happening in Madison. They have been on a building boom for all the millennials moving to Madison. Biotech is hot in Madison with Epic and Exact Sciences. Capitol city, 2 huge lakes, 4 hospitals, great university, affordable housing, lots of employment. Madison is hot right now.

I'm sorry I'm a moron? No need to be rude. My friend made good choice and I respect it. Emory is in the top 25, Michigan isn't. It was a very clear choice especially given that in our social circle you're looked down upon if you don't go to top 25. Also Emory has superior SAT scores

DP. It’s not a “very clear choice” for anyone pursuing an engineering degree. WTF?

Oh, sweetie, time to reconsider your social circle. I'm sorry to inform you that there is no additional social capital to be derived from going to the 21st ranked school vs. the 27th ranked school.

Rankings matter when it comes to first time hiring. An engineering degree from Emory will be more will regarded because of the higher rank. That's just reality

Hahahahaha. You are clearly completely unfamiliar with engineering. Overall Emory may be higher ranked, but when it comes to engineering, there is literally just no comparison and that's just reality.

Troll?

Who argues that Emory “engineering” is more well-regarded than well...anywhere?

Easy admissions for full pay rich kids.
