My father is a huge Notre Dame fan and when they played USC on TV one Saturday when I was just a boy, I told him I was going to USC. USC was losing in the first half but came roaring back to win the game. I was literally attracted to their school pride and spirit. But I was one of those half-way athletic, student government types, so I fit right into the USC culture. In short, you must follow your heart, otherwise, you won’t be happy. It sounds like you prefer Michigan so go there. If you don’t like it after a year, transfer to USC. You have nothing to lose.
