[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The recent flood of Northeast and Midwestern kids going to SEC schools has to be hurting Syracuse. Much better weather, sports, and 50-60% of the cost.[/quote]
There’s not really evidence that there’s a flood[/quote]

Wherher you like it or not, teens and young adults' natural instinct is to have fun, enjoy life, try new things and not to be rigid, judgy, or puritanical.

The northeast colleges and small liberal arts colleges have overwhelmingly presented themselves as being no fun, filled with screaming protestors and virulent thought police where the crazy students who like to judge and censor people are everywhere, ruled by the stereotypical blue haired girl running around in a mask 5 years after covid craziness ended.

The southern and midwestern schools don't seem to have that puritanical culture, appear more welcoming to all kinds of people, and just look like a ton of fun, the way college is supposed to be and the kind of college we all went to pre 2019.[/quote]
I wish the “no fun” woke SLACS didn’t have acceptance rates in the teens or less so my DC had a better shot. But ok. [/quote]
