Plus it has Zingerman's. That alone would make Ann Arbor a great college town. Ashley's is one of the best beer bars in the country, much less in college towns. And when you add Krazy Jim's and chipati sauce on top of all that, it's a slam dunk.  :D [/quote]

Also, props on being so narrow-minded you think a good bakery and deli is incredibly rare near college towns, let alone college towns with a population of 150,000.[/quote]

I can’t find a great Jewish deli in the entire Chicagoland area. So much for your point. [/quote]

Ever heard of Northbrook’s Max & Benny’s?  That baby bread basket!  My husband palpitated the mini challah and pronounced it magnificent.  I’ve lived in a lot of different places and it’s still at the top of my list.  [/quote]

Yes I have.  Been there with relatives in Highland Park and Deerfield.  I can think of at least four delis off the top of my head  in metro Detroit better than anywhere in Chicago.  [/quote]

Are you the Michigan State grad from College Confidential with a pit bull dog avatar like 150,000 posts?[/quote]

Nope, but you gave me a good laugh.  Honestly, who eats challah at a deli? It’s all about the rye bread. The twice baked rye breads at many Michigan delis cannot be beat.  Sorry to go so far off topic…..[/quote]
You, people, are both insane and entititled and don't realize it. How asinine is it to evaluate quality of your child's college education by availability of a 'great Jewish deli'? That speaks volumes about education in this country, not to mention, this country's population.

The discussion was whether or not Ann Arbor is a good environment in which to attend college--i.e., is it a "good college town." For some of us insane and entitled Americans, that matters. And yet American higher education generally, and the University of Michigan in particular, more than holds its own as compared to "foreign" universities. (I hope you recognize the understatement here.) And there are thousands of international students at Michigan, both undergrad and graduate level. Perhaps they see the level of "education in this country" differently than you. And perhaps they even care about the environment in which they attend college or grad school. But no one was "evaluating the quality of [their] child's education" on the sole basis of whether or not Ann Arbor is a good college town or how good a deli Zingerman's might be.[/quote]
