<p>I don’t really think Michigan is more liberal than UT…
I don’t know how much you know about the states, but UT is 80-90 degrees until november, when it drops to about 40-50 degrees until march… so the climate is really nice and warm…</p>
<p>Michigan on the other hand is the opposite… it’s going to be much, much colder than Austin.</p>
<p>The simple difference in climate makes a huge difference in lifestyle.</p>
<p>UT is more well known for its “eccentricity” (liberal-ness) and pot culture than for anything else…</p>
<p>Of course, I’ve been to Austin countless times, and actually almost went to UT, yet I don’t know a whole whole lot about Michigan… so I may be wrong in my comparisons?</p>
