[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The northern SLAC cope on this thread is just hilarious.

Everyone knows the current political, economic, and cultural momentum of the United States points to the further ascendancy of the southern states.

Smart parents, sensing the trend, are getting ahead of the curve and sending their kids south to the future.

WASP + 7 Sisters? No.
SEC Schools & SMU? Yes!

Even if true…plenty of people from southern states attend elite northeastern schools and SLACs…and plenty of kids that may go south for college end up returning north upon graduation.

Most kids from the top Alabama privates don’t attend any college in Alabama.  You see the majority actually heading to top 30 private schools, many in the northeast (but also Vandy, Duke, Emory).[/quote]

As someone with extended family in Alabama going back several generations, I can attest that nobody sends their kids to Alabama. The target is always Princeton and then Duke and UVA. If one's child is academically challenged,  they go to University of Richmond.  Most families actually send their kids to boarding in NJ for HS. Only the current poors and the one who owned less than 5 slaves keep their kids in Alabama for schools.  [/quote]
