We sure are! Go Blue!
But seriously, if that is where she goes, it's a great place where everyone can find their niche. I could have gotten a great education at any one of so many excellent schools in this country -- and I attended other schools for grad school, so I've gotten a good slice of life at a couple of excellent colleges -- and I remain very, very glad I chose U of M.
It's no accident that we have such massive school pride -- it's because it's a place worthy of such pride!
Don't get me wrong, like any large institution it has its pros and cons for darn sure (just tonight, a young friend of mine who's gotten in there for grad school -- and who went to a very small undergrad school -- complained to me about them not having sent her some information she wanted. Me: "Errr ... you should get used to hunting down information on your own. There is very little handholding there. This is how it is, not a glitch."), and there are plenty of ways it might not be the right place for someone ... but if she feels at home there, she will have a blast.
