This. It’s not the number of alumni that matters, but their willingness to talk with you and actually help. I have a son at a well-rated flagship and another at a well-rated SLAC. The SLAC’s alumni are fewer, but they are consistently more helpful and loyal.

Michigan is ranked as the 4th most powerful alumni base and for good reason. It’s huge, spread out across the country, and Michigan alumni LOVE their school.

On tours sometimes I hear students say they got opportunities because alumni of whatever school they attend support current students of whatever school just for being one of their own. Have you known this to be more or less the case for certain schools? What schools have the most supportive/close-knit alumni networks?
