Paramount your points are well taken and most likely true. Personally, I went to Michigan State and decided to not go to UofM (despite getting offered) for the reasons you stated earlier. When I was 18 my priorities were partying, and meeting new people (most of my friends were going to UofM). I was one of those people that chose business as my major because I really didn’t have a true passion for anything, although I excelled at most. Looking back, picking MSU was one of the best decisions of my life. MSU is where I met my wife, made my most important business and personal contacts, and continues to give me a team to root for on the weekends. In addition, each time I meet a fellow Spartan it gives us something to talk about. This being said, such as most things in life, the choice of a university is a personal choice which is neither right nor wrong. I also believe that your negative opinions are not warranted, ignorant and heavily biased.
