btw- eons ago UW upped OOS tuition because of “too many” OOS radicals circa the Vietnam War era. Since then times have changed and overall students are far more docile than then. Far fewer causes after all of the social changes that occurred regarding the draft/war, civil rights and women’s roles.
I agree that Wisconsinites do not see compelling reasons to apply to Michigan (and vice versa for Michiganders). I have heard some from Minnesota’s Twin Cities want to leave the area for college- I understand that urge for something different.
