<p>Anyone from Huron needs to be quiet. Pioneer has owned you repeatedly in football and basketball.</p>
<p>Football its 3.5 years in a row? I played in the last two and it sure is fun spanking you.</p>
<p>NYao might be right in some regards. I know for instaters, (at least in my school) Mich is considered "ok" by everyone. Only after talking to out of staters, internatl's, CCers, did I realize exactly how great of a school mich is. </p>
<p>But, I know mich is a safety for many ivy league rejects, and when they end up going to michigan, they feel unhappy</p>
<p>Badkarma, most students do not end up at their #1 choice. Most students' first choice is usually a reach. Let us face it, most students at Penn or Cornell probably had Harvard or Princeton as their first choice. Most students at Tufts or Georgetown also probably had Harvard or Princeton as their first choice. Some students accept the fact that they do not get into their dream school and grow to love their actual university...some never let go. Fortunately, Michigan was my #1 choice. I was realistic enough to know that Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Stanford and Yale were out of my reach! hehe</p>
<p>Here's where U-M students are from:
<a href="http://www.umich.edu/%7Eregoff/report/05fa115.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://www.umich.edu/~regoff/report/05fa115.pdf</a></p>
<p>The undergrad enrollment (fall '05) is 25,467, of whom 65% (16,563) are in-state, 35% (7559) are out-of-state (OOS), and 5% (1345) are foreign.</p>
<p>Half the in-staters, 50 %, come from Metro Detroit (Macomb, Oakland and Wayne counties). That's 8327 students. Which also translates to this: 33% of the total U-M undergrad population is from Metro Detroit.</p>
<p>Most popular MI hometowns, after Metro Detroit, are: Ann Arbor (Washtenaw Co.) 1959, Grand Rapids (Kent Co.) 839, Lansing (Ingham Co.) 491, Kalamazoo Co. 483, and Flint (Genesee Co.) 447.</p>
<p>The top-10 home states for undergrad OOS students are: NY 1344, IL 1058, OH 710, CA 647, NJ 615, MD 304, MA 234, FL 234, TX 192.</p>
<p>The East Coast (ME to DE) sends 3184 students, which is 13% of the total undergrad student body.</p>
<p>The Midwest, excluding MI, is about 9% of the undergrad population.</p>
<p>The freshman class (fall '05) is more OOS than the rest of the undergrad population. The freshman class is 40% OOS, versus 35% for the whole undergrad population. The freshman Engineering class is 38% OOS, A&D 42%, Kines 56%, LSA 39% , Music 56% and Nursing 21% .</p>
