[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“ Not sure I would send my kid to a large OOS state school unless it was for a specific program the school was known for or a regional specialization - i.e. studying automotive engineering in Michigan, geology in Colorado, marine biology in Florida, etc. I grew up in Ohio and kids who didn’t go to the local state university often went to The OSU - but there were always a handful every year who went to Penn State. I never understood why they would pay OOS $$$.”

You grew up in Ohio. Their flagship is not on the same tier as Michigan. Neither is PSU or any other public B1G school currently. Academically Michigan undergrad is elite, despite what some naysayers will tell you here on DCUM. I can’t understand why anyone would pay OOS tuition for PSU if they were admitted to tOS either.  That I can agree with. [/quote]

Ugghh - a reminder of why the rest of the rest of the Big Ten hates Michigan.  [b]Northwestern ranks well above Michigan but somehow manages not to be arrogant about it.[/b][/quote]

Really? Not the Northwestern alums I've met.[/quote]

Probably they are but Michigan grads / students are uniquely arrogant - like how do you get so high on being a clear #2 while showing no regard for other fine universities in the region like Wisconsin, Illinois etc..  The Skunks are an annoying bunch.  You got to love the "Harvard of the Midwest".[/quote]

+1  “Harvard of the Midwest” is one of the most obnoxious things I’ve heard alums say.   [/quote]

I know right? Everyone knows Harvard is the Michigan of the East![/quote]

Why did you activate an old thread?[/quote]

And Alabama is apparently the Michigan of the south!  :lol: [/quote]
