[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems like a good but giant public school for private school prices. I get that people want different types of options but the popularity boggles my mind. I think almost every kid in my DC"s class is applying. Why?[/quote]

It’s a popular school is why everyone is applying. Kids like it for the culture, parents like it for the top notch, highly ranked academics.

Michigan has taken a different approach than some other states with their flagship state schools. States like UNC and Texas severely limit the number of OOS students. States like Va and Michigan accept a large OOS population and charge $$$ to fund the schools. BTW - note that UVA OOS COA is $89-$90K/year for engineering too.

If I was Maryland, I’d rather pay for UMich than UVA. Michigan’s engineering facilities are phenomenal and I have never seen anything like them on the others schools I have toured.

Also surprisingly Ann Arbor is not a cheap area. Having 2 kids in college and one at UMich, apartment rental prices are about $500/month more in Ann Arbor than in the location of my other students  - a small city in the south.

While I don’t love Umich’s COA, it’s been a great school for DC. With AP credits, we’re hoping for graduation within 3 years to save $$.
