  • Big cities are melting pots of cultures. When you attend a college in or near an urban location, you’ll be exposed to cultural diversity to a greater extent. This can help you be better prepared for a career anywhere in the world.
  • Studying in an urban college can give you easier access to career opportunities such as internships and part-time employment.
  • Doing an internship at a top company can open doors for you after you graduate. With numerous company headquarters located in the Detroit area, it will be easier for you to network and make connections with people who are in power.
  • According to Steven Johnson’s book, “Where Good Ideas Come From”, when you have regular access to a big city, idea generation happens at a faster rate due to the volume of exposure to various different types of people.
