[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Michigan and Wisconsin offer a fantastic overall experience. Great academics, locations, school spirit,  diverse social opportunities, sports, arts, music, restaurants, and research opportunities. Both schools have a [b]high percentage of out of state students[/b] which makes the student body more interesting.[/quote]

Wisco only very recently voted to remove the cap on OOS. One should not compare Wisco's OOS population to Michigan.

Firstly, Michigan's is a LOT bigger and has been around for a lot longer.

Secondly, a lot of Wisco's OOS population is from states like MN where MN students get in-state rates at Wisco. When I was visiting madison for three days this summer, I ran into more Minnesotans than Wisconsinites (not a bad thing - minnesotans @ wisco are tall, lithe, blonde, attractive, smart, and liberal - awesome) - but I don't find that a great measure of 'national draw'.

Michigan has way more national and international draw and recognition than Wisco. It isn't close.

A fairer asssesment would be to see what % of students are regional students. So only county east coast, West, South, Montain West, and Intl students.

I was curious so I looked up the numbers for Wisconsin 2016 Freshmen 
3,603 from Wisconsin 
2,161 OOS. Of these 637 were from Minnesota. The next largest number of students were from Illinois, California, New York, Maryland, Massachusetts. (All 50 states)
626 International students.[/quote]
