Both schools are growing at a pretty good rate now. I'd still like to know how many State grads are enrolled at UMMC.

That's cute. Congratulations on transforming from a high school into a junior college. Before long, the rest of us might actually meet more than just one Old Miss grad a year in the near future!

It's a bit different since UAB and UAH are seperate entities. Ole Miss was 19.1 k in Oxford last year. State was 19.5k


They're all part of the UA System.

How many students in Oxford?

Doesn't matter. It's all University of Mississippi.




A lot of those students are State undergrads at UMMC that will never donate a dime to Ole Miss. Your numbers are inflated.

Just because I'm bored:

quote:

The number of applications to join the incoming Columbus campus class increased to 45,921, up from more than 42,000 last year and more than 26,000 in 2010.

According to projected figures, the incoming class averaged a record 28.9 ACT score and a record 62 percent graduated in the top 10 percent of their high school class. Also, a record number are minority students and 22 percent are domestic first-generation college students. The students are expected to come from all 88 Ohio counties, 47 states and 20 countries.



Eta: just realized it wasn't in that quote, but they're taking in a little over 7k freshman in this most recent class.

The incoming freshman class increased to 3,969 students this fall, up 4.2 percent from last fall’s 3,809. The group posted an average ACT score of 24.7, besting last year’s average of 24.3 and setting a new UM record.


Absolutely ridiculous. Oxford cannot support growth like this every year. There are about two roads in this whole damn city. The city shuts down for the damn Oxford-Lafayette County game.

Ole miss has some of the cheapest parking. When I toured Uga and uf they said parking passes were hundreds of dollars.

The love affair colleges have with SAT/ACT scores is dumb. Plenty of people score 31s on the ACT then flunk their way out of college while people who score lower graduate at the top of their class.

If I have a 3.8 - 4.0 at the end of year 1, I should get money as long as I maintain it throughout my college career.

I'm sure there would be ways I would find this acceptable, but if we're saying I take a bus or an uber taxi to Starkville on the day that dorms open then ride bikes or shuttle busses, walk, or carpool my way across Starkville during each semester, I will simply get my degree from another institution.

MSU isn't Vanderbilt, and I didn't major in a program that a specialty at MSU. If I stay in state I would likely apply at Southern Miss as they have a wider berth of IT programs anyway.

Doesn't mean I can't still enjoy MSU football. Almost everyone I know at Southern is first either a fan of Ole Miss or State.

State is the larger campus, isn't it?


Yes. And that's without counting the north/south farms, because if you do it's much, much larger.

The other option is to encourage other modes of transportation. We have very little parking on campus, pretty much the only people that get to park are those that live on campus. Everyone else takes the bus, bikes, walks or a scooter.

Last year the Gainesville bus system had over 11 million rides.

Median ACT at Ole Miss is still below a 22, which is laughably low.
#Harvardofthesouth


You're so full of shite. The median ACT score at Ole Miss is 21 at the 25th percentile and 27 at the 75th percentile. If I correctly understand the concept of a median, then that puts it somewhere in the range of 24.

quote:

year’s record ACT and GPA figures show that. The average ACT this year is 25.6 and the average GPA is 3.43.
LSU puts out an average ACT score, apparently.

A lot of large public universities in the South have very complicated relationships with their state governments.

When the recession was at its worst in the late 2000's schools throughout the South upped their enrollment to compensate for the missing government money. With the economy now on the rebound (sorta?) I assume states will be more willing to fund higher education but it's probably not likely to slow down any enrollment growth.

I remember being a freshmen at SC in 2008 and hearing how we were the biggest class in school history, highest GPA/SAT/ACT etc... and our freshmen class was only 3,800 students. Overall school enrollment was about 28,000 that year. By the time I graduated, SC brought in it's largest freshmen class at 5,000 students and had just crossed the 30,000 student mark.

Now, roughly three years later.. SC has 33,000 students and plans are to get to 35,000 in a few years (probably eventually topping out between 35k-40k students).. I graduated just three years ago, but when I visited campus this summer a lot of it was unrecognizable.

but they're still students for the University....the fact that they're redneck POS that can't give back to what they were given is irrelevant.


That's like saying an LSU fan is a student at MSU but shouldn't count towards their enrollment because....in his eyes, frick MSU.


If you're a student at a University...you count towards it's enrollment. It's a pretty simple concept.
