Michigan Tech.
Up at the top as always. But you never hear about it because it’s not an aspirational school.
But here’s a secret: some of the best students in Michigan turn down U of M for Michigan Tech. Why? Because for top students it’s often free. And it’s a great education. So its grads are highly sought, because employers know it.
It actually attracts top students from the entire area (MN, WI etc.) because even OOS, with merit it can end up being less than $20K. It’s so remote you can barely get there. But once you do, it’s an outdoor paradise.
And apparently a free speech paradise too.
