| Congrats, OP. University of Alabama is a great school! Your child will love it! We are an Ole Miss and UF family so I just can't quite bring myself to type out RT. But I'm thrilled for your child and for you! |

| I'm not the PP, but AL is consistently ranked at the bottom for education. USNWR ranks the state at #47. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/rankings/education |

I travel to Alabama a lot. I'm a minority, not a Christian, and I married a white guy from a rural (VERY) part of Alabama, and the people there could not be kinder to me. Part of my wedding was an eastern religious ceremony, and those people were so open and amazed and grateful to be a part of it. There's also a level of comfort that exists between races that is so far superior to what you're dealing with in the north. One of the nicest people I know from there is a Confederate flag activist. The dude is not highly educated but really intelligent and respectful and tolerant of others. Really he's one of the nicest people I've ever known. (He also has a pet deer that comes into his living room and his favorite food is squirrel.) Sorry to burst your liberal bubble. I've been to the University of Alabama many times. It is very fun and there are some amazing academic programs. I think your child will love it, OP. Congratulations. -native New Yorker |

According to their website, their highest merit scholarship is $28k which almost covers tuition for OOS but not room and board of course. |

| Somebody is really trolling the Alabama supporter at this point. |

| The best deal at Alabama is the National Merit Finalists package, which requires selecting Alabama as a first choice with the College Board. This is a true "full ride" plus annual stipend and is the reason why Alabama has one of the largest concentrations of National Merit Scholars in the country. The $28,000 scholarship doesn't even cover the full cost of OOS tuition, so it is far from a "full ride." "Full ride" means that tuition, room, and board are covered. "Full tuition" means you don't pay tuition. https://scholarships.ua.edu/freshman/nationalscholars/ |
