For a humanities major who doesn't want a pressure cooker environment?

Alabama has come a long way over the past ten years. They have been very ambitious with improving and expanding their student population. There are a lot of smart OOS students there now, often with very generous merit packages. The facilities and dorms are quite nice, particularly the honors dorms. The sorority thing is just one sub-culture. It doesn't define Alabama anymore.

It's worth a look. Alabama and the southern SEC schools have become very desirable universities. The days when they are offering merit for OOS students are not going to last much longer.

If she's getting a full ride from Alabama, there will be others willing to compete. She should look around. Usually schools, particular publics, are pretty clear on their websites about what they are willing to offer NMF students.

It's a good problem to have.

And I definitely would not be paying to send this low key humanities student to a grinder STEM school like Virginia Tech. [/quote]
