So? Auburn has been offering instate tuition to MANY Georgia residents as far away as suburban Atlanta for YEARS.

Those are the stories you get from disgruntled AU fans that can't cope with the reality of UA getting better; better to the point it is routinely ranked ahead of AU.
Is it tiresome having to constantly rationalize why ranking after ranking ends up like this?

That is not a true statement. Jacksonville St is the only university that will accept GA residents as in-state residents.

Well said sir

I believe two counties in georgia, not at
Atlanta. Bama is doing it for a large percentage of those oos students that meet an academic requirement, not a location. Just pointing out the flaw in your logic. But yes more oos students can lead to more revenue obviously.

It doesn't get any more funny than this from you.
And do you think that alabama got ranked ahead of auburn in the OP?

I have no idea and could easily be wrong, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is wrong.

"Another student made a 22 on their ACT and got a partial scholarship to Alabama."
OK whatever. I made that my first try on the ACT and I didn't get jack squat from Alabama and that was in the mid 90s when enrollment at UA was FAR less competitive.

Unless its recently changed, AU accepts the two counties on the border.
Eta, looks like auburn hasn't accepted georgia in state in quite some time.

AU does have an agreement with KY residents for Vet School. I the past you could claim residency after one year, but I think that has changed.

That is my point, they are giving out a lot of money to reach their 30K goal.

Exactly. The U of A is the flagship for the state of Alabama. I'm sure it is helpful (short-term) in balancing the budget but I can't possibly see how long-term the state or Alabama or the university can benefit from their current model.
Their numbers

I don't mean to be a dick or anything, but I've never met an Alabama engineer, ever. Do they all stay in state or something? Huntsville? I DO know plenty of engineers from LSU and MSU and a few from Auburn and Florida. Alabama: nada. Admittedly maybe not high-paying jobs directly out of school, but this list just seems a bit off. And t.u. not being on the list seems suspect.

Depends on the degree, but many stay in north al.
Their program has seen a recent rise as well. They are becoming formidable

I can't believe people are arguing over auburn vs Alabama academics. As if an education at one is so much more meaningful than the other. Die offseason, die.

That has always been the way I've seen it. I don't see a big difference between the schools. Auburn is a small step above in the technical fields while Alabama is slightly ahead in the professional fields. The differences on either side are almost indistinguishable though.

Guess who has a degree from Dwight Look.

Dope Dealing. Only offered at the University of Miami.
A meth cooker. Some southern state has that covered.
