“J school and strong communications and marketing programs for generations while it a relatively “new” area for Michigan”
Is J journalism? If so then UM has had a pretty strong presence in journalism even if they don’t have an official major.
“UMich is recognized as being a “tippy-top” university. There are many UMich alums out here.”
Agree, if you thought you’d do anything in the bay area, and not even in tech, UM would be the way to go.
That being said, $120K is a lot even if you can afford it, and imo, would only lean to UM if the son/daughter really felt it was the best fit. Good luck!
