[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH is from the state and while he went to UMich his siblings went to Michigan State. They have all been successful but [b]the main difference is the siblings have stayed in the Midwest.[/b][/quote]

I'm from Michigan and this resonates with me. Most of the folks who went to State are still there, none of the people I went to hs with who went to U fo M are still in Michigan (although some are in Chicago, which is, of course, still the Midwest).

DP. Also from Michigan, went to MSU, and most of my group from college who also grew up there left after graduation. We are currently in DC, AZ, CA, FL, NY, IL (Chicago), WA, VA, CO, Australia, and the UK. None of my family members who attended MSU stayed in MI either. There will always be a number of home-grown Spartans who stay in state after graduation but it likely has more to do with their personalities and family than the fact that they attended MSU (as is probably true for many big state schools). At least, that seems to be the dividing line between those who left and those who stayed based on my sample pool (same holds true for the people I know who attended UofM now that I think about it). MSU is a huge school and a student will be able to find their people, including people who have goals and aspirations that reach beyond MI.
