The northern SLAC cope on this thread is just hilarious.

Everyone knows the current political, economic, and cultural momentum of the United States points to the further ascendancy of the southern states.

Smart parents, sensing the trend, are getting ahead of the curve and sending their kids south to the future.

WASP + 7 Sisters? No.
SEC Schools & SMU? Yes!

Bless your heart. The “ascendency” of the welfare red states bleeding blue states dry why they STILL fail to provide acceptable healthcare or education for their citizens despite mooching our tax dollars. If you think the South is so great, please, please, please form your own country and try to make it without our money.

Even if true…plenty of people from southern states attend elite northeastern schools and SLACs…and plenty of kids that may go south for college end up returning north upon graduation.

Most kids from the top Alabama privates don’t attend any college in Alabama. You see the majority actually heading to top 30 private schools, many in the northeast (but also Vandy, Duke, Emory).

Why would anyone care about that? Go to a college that you like and where you can learn. When I was a kid in the South that meant going North, for me, but it meant other choices for other people. I wasn't thinking about cultural momentum, that's weird.

McGill hurts more…freezing, no sports at all and the most liberal location you could imagine…though Montreal is awesome.

OP- what is the point of your question?

This has to be a troll, Alabama is not a feeder to reputable humanities phd programs. It does have a really good med school.

Duh, if you can go through 4 years of college without spending much money, there might be money left that can be spent on a house. And Alabama has merit scholarships that allow some students get a bachelor’s degree quite cheaply.

Oh please, you can get in reputable graduate humanities programs with decent GRE scores good grades from just about any college.

Well-run school with a lot of money for research (they use sports money) so they attract really good professors. Amazing school.

That’s nice. But why suffer living in Tuscaloosa to get access to Ivy League professors? Many universities up north have Ivy League professors, and you don’t have to live in depressing Alabama.

What’s wrong with the Seven Sisters?

Alabama provide Presidential Elite Scholarship for anyone with 4.0+ GPA and 1600 SAT (or 36 ACT). Full tuition and some more.

I think there is good value in this.

Case Western probably the same if you negotiate.
