Question: Should I go to Marygrove College or Wayne State?

I was resolved to going to Wayne State but I've found that a lot of the people who work there are so unprofessional. I applied to Marygrove and went on a tour but it was on a Saturday so I couldn't really ask any people how the school was. So if anyone goes to Marygrove or knew someone who went there could you tell me how it is. If you think I should still go to Wayne State could you tell me a reason why?
