Samford is definitely the way to go as far as small schools in Alabama goes. Majority female, homewood is a nice suburb of birmingham, and get a decent education. After making a few trips there during my college days, there were definitely times I wondered how many fish you could bag in a small pond like Samford. Has some gems as far as scenery goes and the campus is really nice.

The few girls I knew that attended Samford were super Christian and two were knocked up

I hate to pop your bubble but Harvard is vastly overrated. It is a status symbol full of hype. I love it when people fall for this stuff.

It's a shame a school like Tulane is no longer in the SEC, but schools like A&M, Mizzou, MSU and OM are

As far as the state of South Carolina goes, the quality of education, history of the college itself, area and appearance of where campus is situated, campus life, and proximity to other nearby attractions such as the coast/mountains/larger cities lends itself to our private colleges vs public colleges.


Hmm, me thinks you are over looking a school in Charleston that has consistently been ranked in the top 10 small colleges....hope it wasn't due to the Cocks loss this year?

To be fair, the largest school at the University of Kentucky is Education...so, it makes sense the average salary is lower then the rest of the SEC...but, I think UK has the most graduates who are presidents/chancellors at Colleges and Universities in the nation.

Centre Baw...which is by far the best higher education school in the state...they also have the 2cd best endowment from alumni in the nation behind Harvard.

Oh they don't hide they are a Christian theology based school. That's what I think would make it fun. There's so many daddy's girls there just ready to bust loose. It's a "dry" campus I believe but that didn't seem to hold back much

At the undergraduate level it's a mixed bag. You may not get a professor until you are junior, and if it's a well known one you still may not see him/her. There are talented students, but there are also a lot of test taking studybots.

Better off going somewhere else for undergrad and then there for grad/prof

Southwestern is prettier and is slightly more prestigious. Plus you get to be a pirate.



Trinity vibe is wackier with their kind of oddball campus and more fun being near the Pearl and St. Mary's.

Southwestern is nice and close to Austin, but not close enough. Little more energy at Trinity. Partly due to the bigger student body.

Yeah, the Trinity sports domination in their conference is a bit boring.

My little one just finished up their college career at Trinity, so I have spent lots of time on all these little campuses.

Wonderful when you just can park anywhere.

Listen, Mizzou is not only an embarrassment to the SEC, but you are also the butt of the joke nationwide. You free-loading race baiting safe space pussies let a disgruntled 25 year old lying sack of shite run your president off because you were so frightened of the PC boogie man that you cut your own balls off. Go eat a shitstika.

Nah, just mad that your shitty school gets to wear the SEC emblem. You're like the alcoholic loser boyfriend sponging off your sister who now shows up for the family reunions when no one wants him around.

Well, either way you are mad. I think the point was that Alabama's university system isn't very good if Auburn is the best you have to offer.

Missouri has 3 superior universities within its borders.

It will be ok, least yall are good at the footbaws
