[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not saying they're equal, but Michigan seems like a great alternative to UMD or Va Tech or Penn State for those looking for something else. Anyone have current or recent Michigan experience who could offer any insight?  [/quote]

I went to Michigan 15 years ago, so not so current.  I'm from Michigan.  Tons of my friends were from the east coast.  Lots of students from Long Island and New Jersey.  I had two roommates from Maryland - both from Betheseda.   The school was 60% in-state back then.  It was known that the out-of-staters had to have better stats for acceptance.  They were very prepared and tended to do well there.  Most students were going on to some form of graduate school (except maybe my engineering and B-school friends).  The undergrad B-school is very competitive.  The med school feeder courses are competitive - second semester calculus, org chem, and biology.  Econ is competitive for those applying to B-school.  I liked the school, but the competitive nature of the classes was a grind at times.  The greek scene was big.

Regarding the feel of the school, as they say in Michigan, we have two large state schools - Moo U and Jew U.  U Mich is Jew U (Michigan State is Moo U).[/quote]
