The problem is they are out pricing the average Alabama Family with the tuition hikes. All those out of state students will leave AL in their rearveiw mirror after they get their degree. All those buildings, roads and other infrastructures were built on the backs of AL taxpayers, now their state schools are catering to educating kids from everywhere else. A product of ego and a desire to be big.

Even if this were true (it's only true to an extent) how is this any different than any other university? College graduates follow jobs. I know several UA grads from Georgia that moved to New York when they graduated. They're set to move back to Birmingham in the next few months

In state enrollment has stayed pretty consistent.

And its easy for students from Alabama to get scholarships as well. I got half tuition for making a 28 on the ACT in 2006.

This is silly. Alabama's cost of tuition is about $600 per year more than Auburn's.
