[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Setting aside Michigan, Indiana would be closest to the vibe of Wisconsin, followed by Minnesota and Iowa, and then perhaps Michigan State.

Illinois and Purdue are more nerdy and tech-oriented.

Northwestern is a quasi-Ivy.

Nebraska doesn’t pull as much from the East Coast or even the suburbs of the big Midwestern cities.

Penn State and Ohio State are enormous football factories.

Rutgers and Maryland are East Coast and in gritty areas that don’t come close to being nice college towns.[/quote]

Nebraska is getting lots of students from the Chicago & Minneapolis areas. Also some from Missouri & Michigan. The generous out of state merit scholarships are making it very affordable. [/quote]

I can’t imagine almost anybody from Michigan going to Nebraska.  It makes sense if you’re from MN or IL, since the drop off from the public flagship is pretty large.  I supposed if you can’t get into MSU, it’s plausible. [/quote]

You’ve apparently never visited U of Nebraska. It’s half the size of MSU, & feels even smaller because some programs are on a separate campus a few miles away.

I’m from Michigan, & kid did get in MSU, but wanted something different & less sprawling. Kid knew quite a few other Michiganders at Nebraska, had a great time, & now has wonderful job in Chicago.

Nebraska currently is easily the weakest school in the B1G.  I’m sure there are a few students from Michigan, but it hardly makes any sense to attend there if you have offers from Michigan or Michigan State.  Outliers exist in most situations
