[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you been to Michigan? It’s a craphole. The in-state kids are dumb as rocks. State is losing population left and right. They need smart out of state kids with $$$ who can boost up Meatchicken’s rankings. [/quote]

Tough but fair. And the state legislature is all nitwit hacks who went to Michigan State University and directional university. Too dull to realize or care their state flagship in Ann Arbor was stolen from taxpayers.[/quote]

Umm, as mentioned several times by different people, U Mich AA admits twice as many in state as out of state students and the percentages for out of state students are either lower than, or comparable to, many other state flagship universities. Plus U Mich has many other state universities to choose from.

There may be well a problem it’s state universities in general relying too much on out of state students to stay afloat financially. However, this is not unique to Michigan. Further, U Michigan has by far the highest financial reserves of any public university in the US (US 12 billion) so they suggests they are unlikely to be recruiting out of state students purely for profits, which they are not in dire need of.

I do wish they would pay their post grad students better stipends though.
