[quote=Anonymous]A lot of U-Mich grads end up in DC for work. Plus, the school is just so much bigger so you can find a community of Michigan alums in pretty much every major American city. Therefore, there’s just a lot more name recognition than UVA. Frankly, with the multi decade post-industrial decline of the Michigan economy, the grads tended to leave the state and therefore you have a huge diaspora everywhere else. The parents then really want to send their kids to U-Michigan, despite the next generation having only superficial ties to the state. Meanwhile, tons of UVA alums stuck around the DMV because the economic opportunities were always favorable. When I hear a DMV family considering U-Michigan, it’s because they’re transplants and/or can afford the outrageous OOS tuition.[/quote]
