<p>Sparkeye,
Your claim that Ohio State has 500+ enrolled students from Michigan just doesn’t sound credible to me, based on US Department of Education stats on how many enrolled freshmen from Michigan enrolled at OSU in recent years:</p>
<p>2010 46
2008 55
2006 51
2004 51
2002 53</p>
<p>Pretty consistently around 50/year. That doesn’t add up to 500+ undergrads, unless they’re taking an average of 10 years to graduate, which would not speak well of the job the school is doing.</p>
<p>Going the other way, here’s how many Ohio residents enrolled as freshment at the University of Michigan:</p>
<p>2010 148
2008 134
2006 141
2004 181
2002 155</p>
<p>So roughly 3 times as many OhioAns going to Michigan as Michiganders going to Ohio State. As it should be.</p>
<p>Do your figures include grad students? If so, they’re very misleading when presented alongside what otherwise appear to be undergrad stats.</p>
