[quote=Anonymous]I went to Wash U undergrad and Michigan Grad. I had a bunch of classmates who did the same. The student body is very similar at both but the size of Michigan is not for everyone (ditto for Wash U). I was not ready to navigate the larger school as a 18 YO and appreciated the support that Wash U provided. One consideration that may not be on your list is that Michigan is really grey for most of the 2nd semester. They actually call their 2nd semester "Winter" as it starts the week after new year. "Spring Break" is typically in Feb and graduation late April (this year really early May). It might not sound like things to really consider - but for anyone who has the slightest bit of SAD, you are not getting a lot of natural sun Jan through March. On a + - if your child wants to get a summer job they are home earlier than most other college students and can get a going while other are still thinking about finals.[/quote]
