[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After the UC system, the University of Michigan is the strongest public university in terms of research and graduate and professional programs.  How did it become so prestigious?  [/quote]

U Mich has the biggest endowment of any public university and they invest wisely.

U Mich AA has an astonishing array of research all in one campus while UC is spread over 10 campuses with some being much stronger in certain fields (eg  Davis for vet science/ UCSB for physics/ etc)

Michigan is incredibly proud of its flagship and it shows in many ways.

I think California is also extremely proud of its U system.

Both systems are excellent engines for social mobility with emphasis on providing many opportunities for vets, first generation students and Hispanic/ minority students. [/quote]

I think UT Austin's endowment is larger when the funds from the land they have in West Texas is factored.[/quote]

The endowment is larger, but there are many campuses to maintain.  Michigan has 3, with Ann Arbor by far receiving the most $$$.  Texas has 240,000 students as compared to around 60,000 at Michigan. [/quote]

The UT money isn't split evenly between campuses.  A large percentage is for UT Austin.[/quote]
