No students want to hear about [b]politics [/b]—other than parents who are so invested in politics that it trickles down to miserable kids.[b] This is why southern schools will keep growing.[/b]

chasing merit is a thing and students realize that where you went to college matters zero after your first job. Also if you graduate top of the class at some of the lessor known schools you were have good chance for grad school. Maybe even better than if you are competing with more kids from Harvard.

UK is popular because it is cheaper for a private school experience. Has zero to do with politics just makes sense financially.

Birth rate starts to go down so college admissions will be easier in coming years.[/quote]

Nope.

Southern schools are in states that are bastions for regressive MAGA politics.

For kids who go there - and parents who send them there - it's what they're looking for. It's certainly not for academics. Maybe football.[/quote]

UT Austin apps way up this year [/quote]

I hate to break it to the majority of the people on this forum but it doesn’t matter where your kid gets their undergrad degree.  If they want a southern experience then by all means send them.  If they want a small quiet school that is focused on academia send them.  If they want a large university, soak it in.  If your kid wants to go online, do it.  At the end of the day, that degree will prob be worth the same in weight as their peer who did it differently. [/quote]
