<p>MSU was once the easy college in the State. Now, it has gotten quite competitive. Not nearly as Michigan but they are getting swamped with apps and taking the top, so they have moved up considerably. I would go to school where you feel most comfortable. MSU is fantastic for many areas, Accounting, Packaging Engineering, Purchasing, Materials Management. U of M has the lead for engineering but for a B.S. degree there is not much of a difference. I know many very successful MSU grads, and equally not so U of M grads. Your education is what you do with it, and your personality drive, etc. Go where you feel the most comfortable.</p>
