Thanks @Knowsstuff and @Mwfan1921 . I’m good. Have a new job since July and I’m really happy.

And I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade. I’ve been vocal about how the school is letting a lot of people down financially. The school, for many people, is just too expensive (as are the UCs out here for OOS). As an alum, I feel that many people need to speak up to a school that has a massive endowment (which means it should be more generous with financial aid) and that for many, but not all, is out of reach financially (and I make decent money).

Still love my school and am proud of it. Hope your kids feel the same 30 years after graduation!

My wife is an alum also. I grew up around Detroit area. Price is what it is. They run it like a private school not a public. It’s one of the most affordable instate colleges with the rank to boot. It’s one of the best educational bargains out there. Then there’s the OOS cost. We all knew what we were signing up for. No surprise there.

Very true–in state it’s a great deal. OOS it’s certainly not. And this applies to a lot of universities (UCs and UVA too).

For many people, it’s the haves and have nots. OOS is definitely more like a private school–except private schools often give a lot more aid.
