[quote=Anonymous]DD is in her 3rd year at UM.  DCUM loves to say this is a school for not-smart rich kids.  Yes, there is a lot of money there, but I have no idea where the not smart comment comes from.  DD has been very very happy there and says everyone she knows is super smart (all over her freshman year suite mates, for example, had over 4.0 GPAs in high school and over 1400 SAT scores--UM doesn't compute the writing score).  Yes, the weather plays an important and positive role.  But she feels like she's happy and surrounded by happy people (and happier than most of her high school friends at other colleges).  We've been very satisfied with courses, course selection, counseling, class sizes, one-on-one teacher interaction etc etc.  She also gets very positive reaction and feedback from school alum.  I'll answer any questions you have.
