[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UMich daughter said it was 19 degrees and windy this morning on her hike to the library. Amazing school but if you are at all sensitive to cold weather, avoid it. It’s not like Boulder where there’s always lots of sun.[/quote]

It’s not like Boulder academically either…..[/quote]

For the majority of kids at Michigan, it makes no difference if they are at Michigan or Boulder

Michigan is a huge school - the top 1/3 it’s worth it.

The bottom 2/3 could end up with the same opportunities while going to a better lifestyle school [/quote]

That’s nonsense. Michigan offers a superlative education that Boulder could only dream of providing. [/quote]

Undergraduate College isn’t about education - it’s mostly signaling

CU Boulder is a flagship - kids below the median at Michigan aren’t gonna anything different out of life than kids from CU…[b].the Michigan brand only moves the needle for the top 1/3 at Michigan. 
[/b]
For others they are competing and on a level playing field for jobs and opportunities from other flagship public grads.

UM (or any public flagship) isn’t penn where even the 25th percentile grad can see a difference in outcomes just based on the strength of the brand [/quote]

Wrong. The alumni network alone makes it much more valuable than Boulder.[/quote]
