[quote=Anonymous]The posts so far cover it, really - Major money and major culture in the Detroit region a century ago Inclusive to Jews - yes, many of whom were from the northeast/NYC, and with a great education and religious philanthropic tenants, became both successful in their careers and big donors Major research opportunities Compelling college campus Multiple competitive grad/professional schools No major regional competition from privates No major regional competition from other state schools across the original Big Ten And Michigan State is a perfectly nice school, but it’s the ag school, and not one of the other original ag schools in the US that also later became a meaningful engineering player (such as NC State did) or another differentiator. Michigan is the engineering school in the state. Completely different history from MSU and the other midwestern state schools. [/quote]
