| I skimmed this. Did I miss the obvious fact that merit aid is generous? I didn’t see that. My kid knew graduate school was necessary so went for the cheapest undergrad option. One of these schools offered full tuition. Bonus: they stood out to their professors and built important relationships with mentors and for future letters of recommendation. |

I have a kid at UAB.
They offered enough merit to make it more affordable than in state Weather is better Easy to get accepted |

| But for every kid who wants a tan, I am sure there are those who are finding the politics unsupportable (abortion bans, trans oppression, gun culture). |

Tuscaloosa and Auburn are blue dots. And the professors are thrilled to have the diversity in the classroom - it’s better for the university in general. My kid is liberal and content at one of these. Would you turn down a free ride to VT because of Youngkin? |

That was mine and every single one of their friends minus one. |

Undergrad students at the University of Alabama--Tuscaloosa are made up of just 39% state residents (61% non-residents).
University of Georgia leans moderate to liberal. University of South Carolina is a branch of the University of New Jersey system. |
