[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“ If you're a rich kid and can afford to apply anywhere, why Ann Arbor and not somewhere warm and not in the gloomy Rust Belt?”

Lots of rich undergraduates from OOS attend Michigan to the tune of approximately 15,000 students every year. Obviously they see something about Ann Arbor that they like.  You don’t care for A2. Many, many others do and will continue to do so. Sorry, but your opinion is just yours and frankly reeks of boorish snobbery.  “Flyover” Ann Arbor is doing just fine without your presence. [/quote]

My DC is at Michigan and she had zero desire to apply in warm places. She loves the cold and having four seasons. As an “old” person I wouldn’t choose to go to a place that is so cold in the winter, but when I was young I didn’t care.

Michigan was her first choice, and we (thankfully) have the money to be able to send her anywhere. She also had no interest in schools like U Chicago, MIT, etc. even though they fit the weather she was seeking. She wanted a big school in a college town. To each his own!

Personally if someone asked me today where I would apply, being the “old” person I am with I tolerance to cold now, I’d probably shoot for UCLA, USC, etc.
