[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]59% Michigan vs 41% Berkeley

That is odd.

I have not known anyone who chose Michigan over UC Berkeley. I lived in Chicago for many years, and UC Berkeley is generally considered as good as (or a little bit lower than) Chicago or Northwestern. Michigan is far away, even though it is within driving distance.

That is odd. I can understand why many 18 year olds would prefer attending Michigan over Berkeley just for the social aspect alone.  Michigan is also not, “far away” (whatever that means)  from Berkeley, Northwestern, or Chicago.  They are all premier academic institutions. [/quote]
