[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We went to visit Ann Arbor during spring break a couple years ago, and on April 1st it was snowing and 27 degrees.

Also I had heard home cute Ann Arbor was, but it looked pretty dumpy to me.

The campus and the main drag with the restaurant was cute though.

For me the weather is a big deal effing breaker. As is the ridiculous out of-state tuition relative to relatively the same quality schools in state in VA in UVA and W&M.

I love UM but true story here. Wanted to spend my last day in the diag wearing shorts and sandals with a coffee, just people watching. Late April and a freaking ice storm ruined that idea.

Ann Arbor? The campus, Main Street, Barton Hills are all very nice. But the rest of it like Washtenaw Avenue? Just a typical suburb with lots of 1960s type houses. So what? Most students are never in those areas.[/quote]

That’s the point poster.  Alumni love the school. The changeable weather only helps to bring the community even closer. Remember that most of its students come from colder climates.  Winter weather is in their blood and they really don’t have to adapt to it. [/quote]

The east and west coasters who go to U-M would turn it down in a heart beat if they got into another top 25. And as soon as they graduate nearly all of them depart the state of Michigan immediately. Similar phenom at Notre Dame. But at least Notre Dame faithful don't lie and try to make South Bend into something it's not. Most Notre Dame kids don't even want to be in Chicago anymore after graduation.[/quote]

That is because South Ben is infinitly worse than Ann Arbor and most comparable Big10 towns save perhaps Champaign-Urbana.[/quote]

Notre Dame is actually quite beautiful in the winter.
