[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Overall I’d say UM is a better school and has more name recognition outside of the Midwest, but Michigan State has some nationally ranked programs that are better than the equivalent offered at UM (education and supply chain are two that come to mind).

The college experience is similar at both schools - huge student population, big sports schools.

I’ve known many people who went to both schools who went on to obtain graduate or professional degrees and are doing very well. I’ve also known students from both schools who are also doing fine and supporting their families but don’t have the type of high-powered careers that DCUM seems to prefer.

Don’t delude yourself into thinking Michigan State is significantly better than UM at really anything.

Supply chain is #1 at Michigan State but 5 at UM.

As for education, Michigan is 8 and Michigan State isn’t even in the top 20, so not sure where you’re getting that one from.[/quote]

You seem to be conveniently forgetting that State is the #1 or 2 school in the country for Hospitality Management.  Production Management is top 10.[/quote]

University of Michigan does not have a program in hospitality management, nor a production management.[/quote]

Understand.  However it doesn't negate the fact that State does have those programs and they are top programs in the country/world.  Sigh.[/quote]
Oh, sorry. You said that ”Michigan State has some nationally ranked programs that are better than the equivalent offered at UM” so I was unsure of what you meant and how that could be the case if UM doesn’t even have the equivalent program.

Yes, there are some good programs at MSU.[/quote]

I should have clarified that I was a NP.  I didn't say that.  I am another poster pointing out programs for which State is tops in the country/world.  You are forgiven for your assumption.

Also, with reference to another poster above, we also use UPer and not that silly word with a Y.  The UP may be remote and some may consider us backwards but even we recognize that there is no Y in the spelling of the words Upper Peninsula.
