<p>I’m interested in a good engineering school like Michigan’s, but then I heard of Michigan’s engineering which is also considered top-notch. What do you guys think in terms of academics? Michigan or Michigan?</p>
<p>You mean University of Michigan - Ann Arbor vs Michigan State University?</p>

<p>Finally, a thread I can sink my teeth into!</p>

<p>Either this is a joke or he forgot to put ‘State’ or ‘Central’ infront of one of the Michigans. I presume ‘State’</p>

<p>Really? My vote is going to Michigan… seeing how it’s the new Harvard and all.</p>
<p>Actually UM has been at this level since the late 1800’s when colleges first became serious about research and academics. Look at the founders of the AAU.</p>
