Your kid will thrive if they want to rush, drink and do coke for a few years -or- if they're the pushy super elbowy TJ magnet school sort.
First rate grad schools though.
Insane huge and overwhelming campus? LOL. Ann Arbor has many charms and facets, but huge and overwhelming it is not. Are you from a very small town, possibly in the South?
Over 50,000 students and all the bureaucracy that comes with it is in fact huge and overwhelming. Ann Arbor is just a podunk cold weather flyover country college town.
The kids who thrive on such a massive campus are the obnoxious Greek life coke trash there to party and the obnoxious ruthless striver Tiger cubs that went to magnet schools. If your kid isn't in either cohort, don't send them there for undergrad.
Seriously? Have you ever been there?
Yes. Only a provincial townie would defend it as aggressively as you are.

All the California kids at Michigan were rejected from Cal, UCLA, USC and UC-Santa B.
Yes, I’m sure that the kids who got into a school with a 19% acceptance rate got rejected from a school with a 33% acceptance rate (UCSB).
Moron.
High percentile Asians drown out rich white kids from the California colleges. Michigan is money hungry for full-pay OOS kids, so that's where they land. Everyone knows this.

What?
Personally I would not send my kid, because it's a very large state school.
But it is extremely well connected in terms of graduate school and jobs. The idea of college is to get a job right/

Many put UVA on par with an Ivy/SLAC/Stanford but it doesn't get the same level of bashing, which is odd
Not sure what SLAC in the middle of that means.
Selective liberal arts colleges... Amherst, Williams, etc
The notion that anyone can compare a small liberal arts college to a large university is asinine. You all have absolutely, 100% no clue what you’re talking about.
I agree Michigan can not hold a candle to a SLAC.
I ageee that a SLAC cannot hold a candle to Michigan.
