[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know of a super smart student going to Alabama for free + computer and football tix!! Pretty sure this kid is going to grad school so why not go under grad for free.  Sounds good to me.[/quote]

It's still Alabama, and the fact that they buy some smart kids doesn't change the fact that the student body as a whole has fairly unimpressive credentials.  If you have an issue with Ole Miss, you probably aren't going to be thrilled with Alabama, either. [/quote]

Just because a school is not extremely selective doesn't mean that it is not a good school. And most of the big football schools are more selective than people seem to think. Personally, I can see a benefit for a child of an upper-middle class, Northeastern family to go to a non-elite, but still reasonable, state school. They would get to socialize with relatively smart kids who grew up outside of the NE rat race. So many people on this board seem laughably out of touch with what life is like outside of the DC/NY/Boston metro areas. [/quote]

I don't necessarily disagree with that, for some kids, except that if you have the courage of your convictions it seems to me you'd make essentially the same argument with respect to Ole Miss.  [/quote]
