This sounds like it could be coming from one of those arrogant UM grads that looks down their nose at anybody that didn't graduate from that fine institution.

People should not judge someone else based on their education level or where they went to school. My cousin went to MIT. She is literally a rocket scientist. However, she has no common sense and no people skills. My step father was one of 15 kids. He grew up in CA and had to drop out of school before the 8th grade so he could work and help support the family. He never went to high school. However, he created a fake HS diploma and somehow got into Cal Poly. He graduated with a mechanical engineering degree. My uncle went to university of Toledo...not your most prestigious school. He may be the smartest person I know but my grandparents couldn't afford to send him anywhere else. He got a chemical engineering degree and went on to be an executive at Ford. He is now worth millions. My father in law went to MSU and is an accountant. Another millionaire. I know doctors that went to OSU and sales reps that aren't really very successful that went to UM.

Some of the best and brightest go to, or went to, "shitty" institutions. Some true morons have diplomas from UM and other "prestigious" universities. I just get tired of the "I went to school X so I am superior to you" shit.

OK...rant over.

Smart people go to lower tier institutions for any number of reasons. Mitch is not one of those people. He's an immature troll. I'm not being an institutional snob or hating on GVSU. That "best and brightest" comment was sarcasm - at best, he's average for a 3rd tier regional school but probably below average.

OSU is actually a very good school. Their reputation is based on their liberal admissions policy (and arrogant michigan fans hating on them) - they'll take just about anyone from ohio with a high school diploma but it's not easy - they have one of the highest freshman drop out rates in the nation. And Caly Poly is nothing special. People hear the name and they think it's Cal Tech - it's not even close. Cal Poly is a second or third tier regional university but I'm sure plenty of smart people go there.
