Everyone in high school was shocked that I decided to go to Michigan sight unseen. After all, you don’t leave a college town like Boston to go just anywhere. So, I use to walk around wearing a t-shirt that said: “Michigan, The Harvard of The West.” I also use to have in my book bag a copy of the October 1987 US News & World Report magazine which had Michigan listed as the #8th best school in the country as ranked by college and university presidents.
