[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is funny to me how people on dcum seem to put so much stock in USNWR rankings and metrics, without understanding or critically thinking about how they are arrived at. [/quote]

Only terminally online shut-ins cite this random junk data from US News and Parchment. I've worked in education for over 25 years, I've never heard a parent in real life cite this nonsense. Nobel laureates is another. No teenagers give a darn about how many laureates are at college xyz (laureates rarely even talk to undergrads). My favourite is when flyover country persons cite one of those fake best places to live lists. Yes sweetie, your 20 degree Rust Belt town full of pensioners and fast food is a better place to live than Malibu, Monterey, Manhattan Beach and La Jolla.[/quote]

As opposed to the shut-in misanthrope who constantly discusses flyover areas of the country and disagrees with every metric that shows Ann Arbor and Michigan in a positive light. You’re an adult, I think, and not an 18 year old who has no interest attending schools in Malibu, Monterey, Manhattan Beach, or La Jolla.  With your painfully slanted views, why should anyone take you seriously? [/quote]

Where is your bachelor's degree from? Your defensive writing is juvenile. I'm assuming public k-12 followed by a non-selective public university for undergrad. You do not have a bachelor's degree from UMich, let alone an engineering degree. You're a parent or a random Michigander who found this forum or maybe a low-level UMich employee with nothing better to do all day.[/quote]

That's not me :D
