Looking for opinions on the schools I'm deciding between

That’s true I think I would’ve fallen just a tad bit short of their averages for Science & Engineering. They say that a 3.2 GPA is what MOST successful applicants that transfer have. That doesn’t seem to hard to achieve or do you think they are making it sound a bit easier than it is?

If you get assigned to a dorm on North Campus you will be riding the bus every day at UofM. I agree, though, that UofM over MSU is a pretty easy decision unless you want to study soybean production or go to vet school.

On the other hand, you can major in Physics at MSU through the Lyman Briggs residential college. You’d not only avoid the bus, but going outside your dorm to get to class. The bad news is that Holmes Hall is on the far east side of campus.

It is harder to get a 3.2 in college than in high school. I think if you don’t get into Michigan, you should probably take the sure thing in hand and go to MSU.

Riding a bus for two miles or walking two miles across the vast MSU campus. Does it really matter if the campus is not contiguous?
