<p>i would say michigan…its really good…</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Carefully read this sentence –> Now, this is a public ivy argument. How is that a problem if you’re for Wall Street??</p>

<p>In any case, I have no comment about the political side of your whole logic here. I would just say that your posts are generally shallow, with a hint of unfounded elitism sprinkled on top. I personally find that combination nauseating.</p>

23

<p>“How is that a problem if you’re for Wall Street??”
Did I say it is a problem IF YOU’RE FOR WALL STREET? I was mocking the fact that general low-income class benefiting from Barack’s wealth distribution plan actually believes the liberal media in that there is a “problem” on wall street. Notice I added “That must be a huge problem and it’s all wallstreet’s fault…” at the end</p>

<p>You’re right, steady as she goes. No problems to report whatsoever captain - hey, but do you think I could borrow, say, a few billion until I can dig myself out of this mess.</p>

25

<p>hmm let’s see what caused the mess in the first place… how about the past liberal administrations…yes including you…clinton… forced banks to lend money to people who had no business getting mortgages with zero down which caused the whole subprime debacle to start with? </p>

<p>THAT, ladies and gentlemen, was the problem…</p>

26

<p>That may have had something to do with relatively small banks making local loans on home mortgages… Ahh, but the brilliant wizards decided, why not package up these liberal clinton loans and load our books with them, sell insurance on them, and let a few of these ratings agencies in on the deal to give us some credibility. Show some fancy graphs and pretend all is well and good. </p>

<p>It’s also astonishing to me that you continue to make suggestions that I am a liberal, a democrat, or a low-income general public member. Instead of the correct assumption that I am none of the above, and just a person who thinks for himself.</p>

27

<p>hmm, that’s part of the easy lending plan… without banks buying all these mortgages off the “relatively small banks”, who would actually lend money and provide mortgage? </p>

<p>This is in part a corresponding action to the government’s easy lending policy. That is why the mortgage market was deregulated in first place… to accommodate the easy lending policy.</p>

<p>I didn’t say YOU are a liberal or a democrat. I said THE PROBLEM is not with Wall Street. THE PROBLEM was planted by liberals and democrats for a long time… and we have a radical one in office</p>

28

<p>I think bearcats is just ****ed that being a banker won’t be getting him as much tail as he’d been hoping for.</p>

29

<p>

</p>

<p>lol u just made my day. just by reading his posts, the way he speaks, makes me wanna *****slap him. idk why but he’s just annoying irritating as hell. woop woop! :p</p>

</p>

<p>Well, the very same relatively small banks that lent the mortgage in the first place. The main issue here is not that local banks made so many bad loans, it’s that extremely large “to-big-to-fail” banks made massive investments in these packages and when things went south they could no longer even account for what kind of risk they had on their books. Nobody is worried about Ann-Arbor Bank and Co going bust, their worried about Citi going bust – and the only reason for Citi going bust is that they have more loans on their books that didn’t originate from them than anybody cares to admit (ones that they know nothing about because they came in a package along with thousands of other loans that they know nothing about) – for a very short period of time they could pretend they were safe, safe enough to sell insurance on them that they neither had the capability nor the intentions to follow through on. At the very least it was negligent, and at the most it was people as obsessed with money and prestige as you who explicitly ignored the risk in favor of fattening their wallets. </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>And I say your dreaming. Every single post you make highlights the very reason that people like me look poorly on the banking industry. Wall Street is full of bearcats, and that is the problem. Someday, you might be the very person designing the next investment vehicle that comes crashing down on my head – and I’ll look back and think, “damn bearcats, I knew even then that you couldn’t see the forest through the trees – nice job.”</p>

<p>Girls at Michigan are way hotter, lol.</p>

<p>But GT is an engineering school first and foremost. I would say that UM is more prestigious but that is because it is one of the largest institutions in the country and has excellent programs across the board: engineering and other undergraduate majors as well as top law and mba programs.</p>

<p>Since you want to study engineering you can’t go wrong with either. What someone said about deciding which region you like better is a good suggestion. Still, either school has engineering recognition so going to either will afford you opportunities anywhere. My parents are from Michigan so I was raised a Michigan fan and I passed up GT for another school so maybe my opinion is biased.</p>

<p>If you’re a guy and like girls Michigan has better girls, but GT is in Atlanta which is a large city so you can find girls in the city.</p>

32

<p>I would go to Michigan–nothing beats having the Big 10 atmosphere (parties, sports, cheaper bars, a mostly-students college town) and getting a top-notch education inside and outside engineering at the same time. I’m biased, though because I go to a big 10 school</p>

33

<p>I cannot believe anyone who has been to the GaTech campus could say it is attractive. Or that being in downtown Atlanta is a good place to be 24/7 for a semester at a time.</p>

34

<p>It’s a very nice looking campus – If you see it in between major construction cycles :|. I don’t quite understand how one school can do so much construction.</p>

35

<p>I loved GT’s campus as far as the construction goes.</p>

36

<p>GT for EE/CS/ Robotics by a clear mile!</p>

37

<p>“by a clear mile”? Georgia Tech and Michigan are basically at the same level when it comes to engineering</p>

38

<p>The campus is actually really nice when they’re not tearing it apart. The new biotech complex + new computing center over by the baseball field is really nice, they’re “cleaning up” the fraternity area, Tech Square is great, they’ve refurbished the historic part of campus, and the new SAC is one of the nicest complexes I’ve seen at any campus. </p>

<p>It’s really just the center of campus that could use some work. That’s why they tore down the monstrosity that was the Hightower building and put in a park, and why they’re adding the new undergraduate learning center. Not to mention that the have already started to cut off all vehicular traffic through campus and they’re adding a river + lake. </p>
