Is Umich really even worth it?

And I guaranty you; the PRIVATE universities you listed, aren’t getting that price - they’re heavily discounting with merit money and other grants, to a more reasonable cost.

Not as much as Michigan is discounting for in-state students which constitutes 2/3 of the student population.</p>

<p>I agree with you that the universities are only charging market price. The lone example you cited, the University of Minnesota system, is no exception. Minnesota only recently reduced its OOS tuition to in-state rate + $2000 to attract OOS students in order to raise its academic profiles.
