Just (literally) paid my son’s deposit for RHIT! After much agonizing and multiple visits to each, he is turning down U of Mich (as well as RIT, Michigan Tech and a few other small LACs) for what we hope will be a collaborative, supportive, yet still academically rigorous education at Rose. I spent many years at a Big Ten school, as an undergrad, in prof school and in grad school, and aside from the huge size, I can say with first-hand knowledge that those schools, while excellent overall, really are focused on graduate education and research, giving all but the most zealous and outstanding undergrads rather short shrift. I think RHIT will be a much better fit for undergrad, and Michigan will always be there if he decides grad school is in the cards… It is a HUGE relief for all of us to have this decision behind us, and I wish you all luck with your decisions in the coming days!
