[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I suspect that the reason for the massive surge in out of state applicants to southern schools has to do with the political leanings of the women on campus. Parents of boys want them exposed to a viable pool of potential mates, and conservative girls are far more likely to be interested in marriage and children.  The percentage of out of state students at, for example, Ole Miss and Bama, is double or more that of UVA and University of Maryland. I've noticed in particular that young men from the NY/NJ area (notoriously difficult dating grounds) seem to be swarming the southern campuses.

It's kind of a sad thing, the mismatch with boys wanting marriage and family and the girls not wanting marriage and family. Girls can have whatever political leanings they want, but it's understandable and human that boys still want marriage and therefore lean conservative.

You are coming to all the wrong conclusions.

The reason the OOS rates are high at Alabama is because Alabama is throwing tons of money at them to attend.  They want them to stay in Alabama afterwards.  It’s not because all the northern men magically discovered Alabama.

In the flip side, UGA and UT significantly restrict OOS kids.  UGA only has 20% OOS and UT only 10%.  Same with UNC.  The idea is that in state kids with perhaps lesser stats should still get slots over OOS kids because the schools exist first and foremost for in state kids.

BTW, many of these southern flagships are around 60% women and 40% men…and the student body is quite liberal.  Athens, Ga was 70% for Harris, Austin was majority for Harris, etc.

They also aren’t swarming southern campuses…they are just growing from a very small base.  As an example, the percent of kids from the northeast to LSU quadrupled but it’s still only 2% of the LSU senior body.[/quote]
