[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree. You get the same education at Indiana. Or Minnesota. Or Illinois.[/quote]

I don't know. In my field, Michigan is not just another Big 10. The professors in the departments there are excellent and doing the top notch work and graduating the top notch PhD's as well.  Wisconsin is a close second.  Both schools have these same professors teach and advice undergrads.  If my kids were interested in that subject and wanted to go to a huge school (and all the plusses and minuses that come with that) with big sports - it's a great choice. They'd get a great education and could either take it into the real world or be poised to run if they later chose to get a PhD, JD, or MBA. Can't speak for other disciplines. That said - I'm not sure either of my kids is that keen on the big school with big sports profile.[/quote]

This is the right answer.

The combination of top ten (and I am talking about department to department) in just about every discipline in addition to the rah rah big sports and school spirit are very hard to find. There are probably 10 schools, maybe less, that offer the same combination (and yes, Wisconsin is one of them, IMO)
