UMich is not a land grant university. I hope this clears things up.

Harvard is a land-grant college, but it eas established before the USA so it's not covered by the "USA land-grant colleges" law.

It literally contains a public school.
Nothing bizarre about it.

Yes, the entire USA was stolen from native tribes, so that includes the land-grant universities. Don't need a website to explain that.

No, we think it is a quasi-public school because it is a quasi-public school.

You are dreaming. I see no difference (one at OOS flagship one at private). Both have overcrowded and old dorm situations, both were put on WL for classes they wanted and ended up getting into the classes they wanted once movement started happening for freshman and sophomore years, both have had great counselors/advisors, both have gotten what they needed (different things) from the disability services office, both have things they like and things they hate about the meal plans/swipes.


+1. This is one of the many things that only exists in the minds of DCUMers, not reality.

UVA and Michigan are not land grant universities.

You can find a list of all land grant schools here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_land-grant_universities


according to this link, scroll to Mass. MIT is a land grant.

And?


No one thinks land grants are inferior.
