I agree, Michigan is nice and Ann Arbor is great. I have great memories from being there for three years.
But the sprawling Michigan campus, which is divided into three parts, has beautiful buildings adjacent to many pedestrian ones, and doesn’t really match up to the schools at the top of my list like Yale, UChicago, Princeton, etc. And while it definitely is one of the nicest large public university campuses, Berkeley, UVA, UCLA, UWashington, Indiana and others are even nicer.
But it is all a matter of taste, of course. Dartmouth did almost nothing for me, but half the people in this thread think it is amazing so what do I know?
