I'm a Michigan kid, born and raised just outside of Detroit. I had my choice of attending either Michigan OR Ohio State. My decision was a no-brainer. I sent my acceptance letter to Ohio State without a doubt in my mind that I was going to the institution that was better for my academic career and my growth as a person. I visited Michigan with high hopes, and came away feeling like they held their institution above their students, giving off an aura that the students were lucky to even be there. The collective arrogance was appalling and it rubs off on a lot of its graduates, many of whom believe they are automatically superior to everyone else because of their school, not their individual intelligence. All I heard in Ann Arbor was why Michigan was great, not what the school would do for me. Ohio State called me once a week, asking how I was and often times not talking about my college decision at all. During each visit, OSU showed what they could do for ME. I can't even begin to describe how much more Ohio State has invested in me in my four years than Michigan could ever dream of.
