<p>Michigan is not really comparable, it is on another level above state flagships (same is true for Cal and UVA). Also its undergrad is smaller than IU’s. </p>
<p>I think its best to look at IU and Purdue are combined as one huge state school for Indiana, with Purdue focused on Engineering, Ag, sciences, and IU more on liberal arts and business. There is some overlap. Music at IU is off the charts.</p>
<p>I think IU is a great school for B students, and there is nothing wrong with that. B students run the world in many cases anyway, right?</p>
