[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At Alabama, in the humanities, at least history, the most powerful professors (including head of department) are Ivy League phds from the north, particularly New York. Well-run school with a lot of money for research (they use sports money) so they attract really good professors.  Amazing school.  [/quote]

That’s nice. But why suffer living in Tuscaloosa to get access to Ivy League professors? Many universities up north have Ivy League professors, and you don’t have to live in depressing Alabama. [/quote]

Depressing?  You obviously haven’t been to Alabama. The school is absolutely beautiful and lively and the weather amazing.  Professors go to Alabama where they get paid more, are given more academic freedom and research funds and they don’t have to live in small, cold, dying cities where many northern universities are located.

Sorry, the state of Alabama is depressing. I see you trying to spin it. It’s making me chuckle. Just be happy in Alabama with your kinfolk. [/quote]
