Of course you can find some very impressive, very intense grinds there, but kids with her affluence and pedigree end up there to party and pick up an easy somewhat respectable degree.

Learn about the coops. You don’t know much.

What baffles you? Sidwell alum here. It was a common joke that Michigan was an awful safety school for the students that barely studied and partied. It's an awful choice for a president's daughter

Is this Friendly judgement the result of your Quaker education?
She doesn’t need what you need.

She is going there because her friends are. Good for her.


It's only difficult if you're Asian or Caucasian and need financial aid.

Agreed. This thread baffles me. And the grad programs are very strong.

I’m glad you seem to know what’s best for her. Are all “Sidwell alums” as smug as you are? Is it a prerequisite for enrollment or something?

It’s a great school and has been ranked as high as 8th nationally. Law and Med schools have been ranked in the top three. Trolls gonna troll. Am happy for Sasha for eschewing the tragically desperate crowd who seem incapable of amassing self worth without superficial external validation.

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.

Bright enough not to waste time on here!


Jenna Bush graduated from the University of Texas and her sister Barbara from Yale. Jenna has done just fine.

That’s the consensus of one repetitive troll. You really need to lighten up, you are talking about an 18 year old girl.
