[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Michigan grad here.  I have a very slight preference form Madison over Ann Arbor and a more significant preference for Michigan's campus over Wisconsin's.  I have visited most of the major state universities.  [b]The one most like Michigan is Wisconsin.  The one most like Wisconsin is Michigan.[/b]  I could see choosing either one.  I chose Michigan, partly because of prestige/rankings and particly because Michigan  does a better job of creating small communities within a larger university.  For example, there is no equivalent to the Michigan Residential College (which is sort of like a small liberal arts college) at Wisconsin. [/quote]
Agree. And next closest to each is IU.[/quote]
Hardly[/quote]
For a liberal arts and sciences student or a business student, IU is remarkably similar to Michigan and Wisconsin in all ways save selectivity. For an engineering student, it's obviously not.[/quote]
I honestly don’t see it, but of course you’re entitled to your opinion.  Indiana is more similar to Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan State among many others. A very solid university with some great programs, but not in the same tier as Berkeley, UCLA, Michigan, or UVA. [/quote]
How well do you know these actual schools as opposed to their "rankings"? Ohio State and Michigan State offer meaningfully different experiences than Michigan/Wisconsin/IU. Penn State is kinda in between, but also with its own weird inferiority complex twist. (These schools all are more alike than they are different in the grand scheme of things, but if you're grouping them,[b] IU goes with Michigan and Wisconsin rather than with the others.[/b] UVA is kinda close to that group, too, but Berkeley and UCLA definitely aren't.)[/quote]

Not really.
