Huh. On my DC block alone, we have current students at: Vandy, Tulane, Rice, Charleston and Clemson.

Which of these are the cheap ones, again?

Sounds like a lot philistines and kids frozen out of t15s

Vanderbilt and Rice are both T15 schools. They are both more highly ranked than Columbia, Cornell, Berkeley, Notre Dame, UCLA, Georgetown, Michigan and so on and so forth. It's not just rubes, philistines, and sorority girls who are choosing to go to school in the south. And I don't think the kids going to Duke, Vandy, or Rice are particularly influenced by TikTok. It is possible to get a very good education in the South.

Kind of, but the South still heavily lags behind the northeast. The only school I’ve seen people consistently pick over Ivies when having the choice is Duke, otherwise even top kids from the south leave to go to an ivy.

+1 The Northeast schools' applications are still by far outpacing the South. Everywhere is getting more applications--and fewer people can get into the most competitive Northeast schools so more are going further afield.

They. All. Look. Alike.
And they ain't no gentry.

I was shocked that they all had the same exact color of spray tan in bama rush-rose gold.

Many kids just aren’t Ivy/elite level students (which is completely normal and fine) and don’t want to pay out the @$$ for middle of the road privates when they’ll have just as good of an experience at a cheaper school down south.

Vandy and rice are not t15s for all intents and purposes

They are massively underrepresented in boswash corridor and Sf/la

They are functionally fungible with t20-30 privates in the northeast

It's amazing that you have all this data available to you! Demonstrating the proportional "representation" of graduates in six of the largest cities in the United States! From, if my count is correct, about 17 universities.

How did you become so familiar with the young professional demographic on *both* coasts?

Enjoy your time at Cornell, my friend!

Nailed it.

The spray tan, PP - so true! Do they think that looks good?

The “bowash corridor and Sf/La” are the past. The Southeast and Texas are the future.

The majority of fast-growing regions are located in the South, an area home to nearly 130 million people. Georgia, Arizona, Idaho, Alabama, and Oklahoma made up the latter half of the top 10 states with the biggest domestic net migration totals.
In comparison, California, New York and Illinois saw the largest net domestic outmigration last year, respectively, despite California remaining the most populous state.
New Jersey, Massachusetts, Louisiana and Maryland also had less people move into their state than move out.
With regard to metro areas, Ocala, Fl.a; Tallahassee, Fla.; Charlotte, N.C.; Savannah, Ga.; Houston; Deltona, Fla.; and Myrtle Beach, S.C., all saw inbound moves exceed outbound moves by more than 6 percentage points.
In addition to being located in the Sun Belt, all these areas experienced a significant job market recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the report. On average, the areas with the highest inbound move rates have 5 percent more jobs now compared with March 2020.
