Interestingly, we have no Southern Michigan U. Wayne State, one of our other public universities could have been Southern.

AGDee, I was wondering-doesn't UM-Dearborn or UM-Flint just say Michigan on the diploma? If so, that would make a much bigger deal. I actually contemplated looking at certain programs at UM-Dearborn but, when I was told the degree would be directional and would say that it wasn't just Michigan but, UM-Dearborn, I decided against it. I was told that by someone who wasn't 100% sure, so that's why I ask.

Speaking of Texas schools, how is Texas Tech? I was under the impression that was a good school. Maybe KS would know-since he's from Texas. Is that a good school? That isn't directional. I have to agree that placing direction of a school would make less people want to go because they may equate it with rinky-dink school. Is that true-no. Do people think that way-yes (sometimes).
