It doesn't matter where she goes to school, she will never want for anything and will have doors opened where ever here little heart desires to work. Her name guarantees her that, and we all know it.

But Michigan is one of the worst schools in the country. As mentioned by others it's ranked #27. It's like if Serena Williams were playing at nursery tennis and not at the US Open


I don't think you know what "worst" means. Michigan is ranked #27 nationally. There are 4,298 institutions in the US that grant a bachelor's degree. 27/4298 puts Michigan into the top 1% of institutions in the US.

It's more like Serena Williams playing the Australian Open, instead of Wimbledon.


To be fair, "worst" to the parents on this forum is anything below 20 on USNEWS


UVA is below 20

I hope she becomes a resident and votes in 2020.

Agree. Academics at Michigan are a joke. You can skip exams or not study at all and show up drunk to exams and still graduate magna cum laude. A friend of mine partied 24/7 at Michigan, never studied and still got 4.0 in electrical engineering. He's not bright either.

+1000

I've done hiring across 3 different industries. Resumes from students from land grant colleges always get strong consideration. The former students
bring good work ethic and good life skills to the job and are able to work with folks from all walks of life. Generally students from land
grant colleges are less likely to have been helicoptered growing up and function well independently on the job.

They're not crazy they're bored and desperate for entertainment and unfortunately in this day and age arguing back and forth with total strangers on social media is #1 on most people's entertainment list.
