This has been going on for years along with northerners moving south. 30 years ago when I was in college, I remember a college administrator saying that kids go south for college, they don’t go north. |
It’s dumb. |
The northern kids going to southern schools tend to be the more moderate ones. |
Same with my kid. I also do not see a lot of kids in our neighborhood going South. Also, Harvard’s never going to be hurting for applications. It’s the smaller LACs in the mid-Atlantic, NE, and the Eastern part of the Mid-West that are going to be hurting. There are just way more of them per capita than in the South. |
That’s no comparison…Penn state main campus gets way more applications than the southern schools. Penn gets way more applications than Vandy. Almost 20,000 more. |
I have a problem with the headline of the article vs if the article was just titled “southern Power 4 universities see more northern students”…which admittedly isn’t a clickbait title.
None of the Ivy schools and definitely not Harvard are impacted. Northern flagships aren’t much impacted…in fact no top 100 school is much impacted. All of those schools have seen record applications and have fairly decent %ages of their student bodies from kids from southern states (actually much higher than the reverse). It would be interesting to know the actual NE schools that are impacted. Maybe it is University of Maine or New Hampshire or SUNY schools. |
NP. Most people know with the exception of Southern Republican politicians that endometriosis can cause issues with fertility. |
No doubt southern colleges are coming into their own like USC and UCLA did back in the day.
Why go to Temple when you can go to Georgie or LSU. The racism is more or less gone and the sports are sooooo much better. If your kid isn't going to IVY+ or flagship state, then southern schools seem like a good place to spend 4 years. |
Exactly. And the article mentions this too, which is spot on: The Southern enrollment surge is taking place in some booming regional economies. The top five most promising locations to find work for newly minted college graduates are all in the South, according to a recent study by payroll provider ADP. |
Sure, but there has been a noticeable increase as the article confirms. |
Temple had 39,687 applications up from 36,876 the year before. Everyone keeps throwing out schools that in theory are losing out to southern schools…just for the assertion to be incorrect. |
Climate change will catch up with them. Then, when the south is inundated and the west has no water, they'll come back. |
All these ridiculous generalizations on this thread, based on what? FFS. |
Am surprised that people - especially young women!- would support places that restrict basic reproductive rights.
Are people just turning their heads the other way? It's so fundamental to young women having basic care, and given that about 20 percent of women need to have an abortion at some time in their lives, are these girls flying home to get abortion pills? The number of rapes and accidental pregnancies on campuses is so high. |
I’m the original poster of this sub thread. Thank you for understanding. Having repro system issues doesn’t mean my daughter is some cheap trollop. It means we have been through multiple ER visits for horrifically painful ovarian cysts. We have tried to help her with her terrible period cramps/pain and sadly had some of the solutions be worse than the original problem. And I say again, I do not trust that she will be tested properly if an emergency situation arose in a red state. You can say I’m crying wolf or whatever, but doctors have had their hands tied to the point that women have died because a basically no brainer medical procedure to save her life is fought over by lawyers for too long and the doctors have to wait while they watch this woman slip away for no dang good reason. I’ll be damned if I’m entrusting my daughters reproductive organs to any red state medical facility |
