Students enrolled in SEC schools from the Northeast

I think a lot of these mid Atlantic yuppie families are actually giving their kids good advice. Their parents career paths of going to a prestigious undergrad to get into a high end law school to join a firm that “provides legal services” to the federal government may not be stable going forward. Safer to go to a sec school, join a fraternity/sorority and marry a country club kid from a family that owns ford dealership chain and construction companies is much wiser. “We’ll come visit you in Hattiesburg twice a year!”

Don Beyer owned a dealership chain. Went to Gonzaga then Williams and is a Congressman.

This has got to be a joke. Sure, I'll encourage my DD to throw away her hard work and dreams to go to Bama, join a sorority, and meet a DB frat boy to marry. So much progress!

It’s the average from UMC NE families. Frozen out of the top schools. We know several from Long Island this year. They didn’t get their early/ea choices so accepted down south. Their state schools aren’t great in NY either- figure they will follow the sun and booze train

Nobody on our street went south. They all are in Boston/New England or Michigan or California. The two families we know that went SEC are very big drinker/golfers.

Oh on your street. So you guys are the intellectual kings. Smart kids are going where they will be happy and also where they may receive a free education on merit money down south. No one cares about Ivy anymore. It is a down brand.

Emory best of both worlds. Northern school with a Southern address.

The college education cost in NE is ridiculous. $80k+ for schools like Fairfield, Providence, Fordham. As someone who was in that school range, I very heavily considered a SEC school due to price and trying something totally different. Ended up at a private school in the south with decent merit.
