<p>Not to dis bclintock’s choice but I just sit in utter amazement that 40,000 yes they say maybe 40,000 kids will apply to UofM this year. Who are these kids and do they all really want to go to UofM? (I turned down UofM because it was ‘too big’ back in the early seventies.) Now I have a son who would no doubt do anything in the world to get into UofM…but 40,000 that can afford to go and want to go…system is broken. 10,000 - 20,000 kids maybe with all the UofM alum running around the world, but 40,000, seems alittle strange. I had two other kids who said “no way I’m not going to a school so big that I have to ride a bus to class” so I know kids have an opinion and a budget and all that.</p>
