why not Univ of Alabama?

[Anonymous]

this is for a city kid with zero interest in sports. but great SATs and plans for masters/phd in a humanities subject and would one day like to buy a house?

Great school! As good as any in the Northeast. Don't let the anti-South bias on this forum get to you. Roll Tide!

So you're essentially asking, how are Bama's humanities undergraduate research opportunities. I don't know the answer to this question, but this is your question.

[Anonymous]

Because no interest in greek life or drinking or being friends with people based solely on how rich their daddies are.

It's a fine school for the right kid, but you haven't really given a reason "why Alabama" before asking why not. It feels you'd want a reason why first for any college.

[Anonymous]

Well you said your kid has no interest in sports. So would they like a school where everything revolves around football?

Why not Alabama?

Because you could spend $300k+ going to some northern SLAC where the weather is cold and gray, the women are LGBTQ+, the men are trans (except for the lacrosse team), the students are socialists, and everyone is miserable.

Or you could save the dough, have a great experience, and be happy in normal in the southern sunshine.

The choice is yours. Roll Tide!

What on earth does a high school student wanting one day to buy a house have to do with this?

If this is the kind of critical thinking and reasoning found in Alabama graduates, I think you've found a good reason to pass, OP.

Alabama sounds like fun, and if he's that smart he'll do real well and have lots of grad opportunities. And I bet he ends up loving football too.

You can do a lot worse.

I mean, I don't agree with much of this, but it IS kinda funny.

This is such a low effort post that I'm pretty sure the only reason out exists is to set up this sort of "humor."

I sent my pretty good stats kid down south for a free education so that we had money for graduate school/law school.

I think he got a good education.

I used to try to talk to him about racism and he thought I was over reacting… it’s not the 60’s anymore.

Going down south you are literally gonna see it face-to-face kids using the n words on the daily. People making racist and insane remarks..

So I’d say the best education my kid got out of the south was that yes racism exist.

What?

I’m a Yankee living in the South. Lots I don’t like.

But number of times I (or my kids) have heard the n word? Zero.

This is totally 'tarted. No you aren't.

I don’t really think you’re credible considering use the R word.

A group of racist, on campus day, one protesting women and black being in the school.

Kids dorms had confederate flags and they don’t thread on me. They’ve been multiple viral videos from their school showing students being racist and getting kick kicked out of school.

In what year, 1960? Was the protestor's name George Wallace?

Once again, you are T.T. if you think any of this is believable.
