[quote=Anonymous]For the public universities you are already seeing students applying to southern public universities in South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee but as those get more competitive and increase effort to attract their in-state students , becoming more competitive OOS and offering less merit to OOS, the students from this area have to expand where they look for schools. The question is will the SEC/big football type student now expand to look at Oklahoma, Mississippi, Louisiana etc.

I’ve also seen an increase in mid-west schools being recommended and public universities in Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio are making the list of kids in this area pretty regularly. Partially for us, having it within a 8-10 hour drive is part of the allure.  Not sure if the student attracted to these schools would expand to Kansas and Nebraska.   As for the political climate and racial diversity etc., we are aware of the rural vs city divide even in the most progressive of states. Wherever they end up, they have to feel  that they would be included and safe in the chosen college community which I imagine is universal desire among all parents .[/quote]
