[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ann Arbor is also a thriving college town, compared to College Park[/quote]

Thriving might be overstating it a little. [/quote]

Indeed.

Median home value in Ann Arbor is $380,000
Median home value in Chevy Chase is $960,000
Median home value in Arlington in $688,000
Median home value in Georgetown, DC is $1,200,000[/quote]
How is it possible to be this dumb?[/quote]

Calling a podunk college town in Michigan “thriving” is an overstatement. That was the point. Wealthy OOS students who end up at Michigan despise the townies and consider Ann Arbor boring, run down and backwater. [/quote]

Yes, of course we should only care about what the [b]wealthy[/b] students think.  Their opinion is all that matters, right?

I have no skin in this game.  I am not from the state and I didn't got to UM (I grew up in London and went to school in NYC).  But I've been to Ann Arbor many times and enjoy the town very much.  I'm not sure you understand the meaning of podunk.  AA is far from being backwards and isolated.  It's practically a superb of Detroit (one can get from DTW to AA faster than on can get from some parts of DC to IAD). I would be thrilled if my DCs were accepted to Michigan.

No, we should listen only to the wealthy students who [b]"end up"[/b] at Michigan.  They are not bitter at all for having "ended-up" at a public (gasp) university.
