I’d choose Mixhigan over either.

BC harder admit these days.

BC has less than 10k. UM has 33k.

Comically silly statement

University of Michigan #2
Boston College. #54

That’s a comically huge difference!

This would have a practical impact if kid was applying for a PhD program. Rankings are waaaay overrated at the undergraduate level.

Between them, its a matter of personal preference.

I went BC and Harvard (2 grad degrees)

In Mass, the BC degree started more conversations and manifested more positive feelings. Harvard seemed like a place that was not accessible for many. BC was a conversation starter.

In DC, people liked Harvard b/c they could add my name to grants and claim me as a trophy hire, but it did not help as much as the BC degree for things I really wanted to do.

I don't know about that. My child was at the top 10 percent of admits and they do not have 4 years of housing.

It is actually more based on financial aid. Kids receiving aid need 4 years of housing because living off campus is more expensive.

Not true. My kid is at BC with 4 years of housing and we are full pay. They have friends who are on financial aid and got only 3 years of housing. I honestly don't know what goes into the decision

Michigan the cowards and worst!

Michigan

you people act like there are encampments on BC's campus right now. but sure, more subdued demonstration. it's not an active student population.
