[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's just nothing unique at University of Michigan that is not available at a college in a state with better climate and lots of growth. It's a really overcrowded public university growing fast to cash in. It's located in a boring flyover country town in the middle of nowhere. It has the worst weather of any university in the top 50 (it will be in the 20s and 30s until April). And the state is crumbling and stagnant; smart residents can't flee fast enough. If University of Mississippi was suddenly in the top 30 college, would you all try to convince yourself it's great? That's basically Michigan right now. It's ranked highly because of it's legacy reputation and name rec (sports), not because it's a unique and special undergraduate setting.[/quote]

Except the University of Mississippi is in Mississippi. If you think that isn't a crumbling, poor state, I don't know what to tell you.[/quote]

You’ve never been to Mississippi, so how do you know? REPUTATION. Just like Michigan has a reputation for being a backwater has-been state that’s been irrelevant for decades. The college is fine it just doesn’t offer anything so unique that it’s worth putting up with that weather and geography.[/quote]
