[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To in-state private school families, it generally goes like this below. Many families with high stat kids choose private tier 2s over huge Michigan for undergrad studies. Paying out-of-state tuition at Indiana is a way to flaunt your family money over sending your average stats kid to Michigan State.

Tier 1: Notre Dame, Northwestern, Duke, USC, Ivies
Tier 2: Michigan, Kalamazoo, Hillsdale, Albion
Tier 3: Indiana, Hope, Miami-OH, Dayton, Loyola-Chicago
Tier 4: Michigan State, U of Detroit-Mercy
Tier 5: the rest, as all the rest are basically open admit[/quote]

Do you rate Albion above Alma?  How about Adrian?  Olivet?

Hillsdale I can see.  It has a national rep, drawing 2/3ds of its students from out-of-state.  Kids actually work hard there.  Lots of required courses.  Tuition is kept low, because students can't use taxpayer-subsidized loans to pay their tuition.

UM-Ann Arbor pads its coffers by drawing upwards of half its student body from out-of-state (and these out-of-staters pay big bucks to attend a sports-obsessed factory).

Indiana and Miami University fit the movie ideal of the perfect campus setting.

Isn't Kalamazoo a hippie school?

Who wants to freeze his ass off at MSU?

Why go to Detroit-Mercy when Wayne State is available?  And Wayne State is closer to the DIA.[/quote]
