Free Post 9/26: MSU's Material Science Program

Hello again, for this weeks free post I will be researching Michigan State's material science program in comparison to other schools. I am curious about how it ranks in the state, and how it ranks on a national level. I have a good feeling it is one of the better programs but I am not able to say for sure.
I found a website, universityportal.net that ranked MSU at 40th in the country. It was only one spot above Michigan Tech University, and was blown out of the water by Michigan's program which ranked number seven. MIT has the best program in the country which isn't a big surprise. In reality I wouldn't be able to get into the best college in the country, plus any degree with Michigan State's name on it will look pretty good. I probably could've gone to Michigan for the better program, but I never had any interest in going to Michigan. I also do not think it would have been worth it to pay more to attain the same degree. Michigan State came out to about $21000 including the dorm, and Michigan was about $26000.
I believe attending Michigan State for their material science program will fulfill all of my needs. I can attain the degree that's perfect for me, and having a good time while doing it. I can make some lifelong friends which could possibly open up business opportunities.

I love the fact that you chose Michigan State over Michigan. I did the same thing when choosing schools. They are both amazing universities with outstanding programs. Im glad i chose Michigan State not only for the price, but for the great community for the college. I was never interested in UofM either so it was really easy for my to relate to this post.
