ann arbor is overrated.

“It’s comforting, really, that in this town of culture and education and wealth, one that boasts the second highest concentration of people with doctorates in the country (Cambridge, Mass., is tops), that a defining characteristic of our environment remains the 24,000 unpolished undergraduate students that populate our town eight months of the year,” writes Geoff Larcom. “It keeps you humble.” Good thing we have all these university students to keep things from getting too cultured and educated around here.
