Dearborn vs. Flint

<p>Which one is better?</p>

<p>Generally Dearborn is considered better than UMFlint</p>

<p>University of Michigan Dearborn is the better school if you cannot get into the Ann Arbor campus or Michigan State Univ.</p>

<p>wait so michigan state is better than dearborn???</p>

<p>Yes, most people would say so.</p>

<p>What do you want to study? Do you want to go to grad school? If so, for what? Personally (read as “anecdotally”), I transferred from Ann Arbor to Flint, lived at home, and saved enough money to double major. After my commitment to the military is fulfilled I plan on applying to several prestigious medical schools.</p>

<p>Again, it all depends on what you plan to do with your life. UM-Flint was great for me as it allowed me to double major, obtain a Master’s degree (in the interim between undergrad and medical school), garner a very strong GPA, and help me develop the faculties necessary for knocking the MCAT out of the proverbial box—not bad for a 23-year-old.</p>

<p>But take this testimonial with a grain of salt as it is simply anecdotal evidence.</p>

<p>As a side note, UM-Flint and UM-Dearborn are largely the same in many respects. Dearborn, however, has what would appear to be a stronger engineering program. Yet UM-Flint has a <i>guaranteed</i> transfer program with Ann Arbor: [Michigan</a> Engineering Transfer Program](<a href=“http://www.umflint.edu/csesp/EngineeringTrasfer/EngineeringTrasfer.htm]Michigan”>http://www.umflint.edu/csesp/EngineeringTrasfer/EngineeringTrasfer.htm)</p>

<p>If you want to study engineering at Ann Arbor (which is completely unintelligible from your original post and, accordingly, this is simply speculation) UM-Flint may surpass Dearborn’s only seemingly demonstrable advantage.</p>

<p>Further, if you wanted to do graduate study in engineering and business, UM-Flint has a dual-degree program with Kettering University which is consistently ranked among the top engineering schools in the nation in some fields:</p>
