Is it accurate that Alabama undergrads

are comprised of only 42% kids from Alabama? That’s crazy….like GA Tech percentages. I think UGA and UF both are pretty high in state…+/- 80%.
Do the residents not complain about that?
Tech will catch flack about it occasionally when the wrong kid gets passed over for little Jimmy from Connecticut.

No state education lottery. They have to make up the money with higher % out of state students.

My daughter had a full academic scholarship to Alabama….
I said sweetie, you really need to think hard about your future.
She made the right choice and we paid full tuition for her to attend Texas A&M.
And now, she’s been so much more successful in life!

These articles sum it up nicely.
NYTimes: How the University of Alabama became a National Player
al.com: UA is an extreme case of out of state recruitment.

I think it's closer to 48%.
My son considered BAMA. It's a beautiful campus.

Maybe goes against the grain of trolling them but a lot of kids from California go to Bama because the academic standards are pretty good, costs are lower and they get a fun college experience also including a good football program. It’s been a trend for the past decade or so

The state of Alabama funds higher education very poorly. We also have no education lottery. So UA had to look elsewhere for funding. Thankfully there’s no shortage of out of state kids that want to come to UA.

Check UF again and report back

Alabama's merit scholarships are legit. Went to Bama this summer on a campus tour with my son. Everyone in his group was from out of state: Georgia, California, and Wisconsin.

No qualified in state student is getting rejected to make room for an out of state student. There is no cap on enrollment like GT and UGA have. In state total enrollment has stayed roughly the same while out of state enrollment with 3x the tuition has exploded.
It's more like Alabama has figured out how to convince out of state students to come to UA and subsidize the education of in state students.

I have no problem with open doors to others. I am a resident and my wife and I and both children have degrees there. Our higher enrollment numbers allow great scholars from other states access and makes us stronger. We had over 1000 from Illinois a couple of years ago. They were, for the most part, highly qualified and they also pay out of state tuition. Lots of new buildings in Tuscaloosa.
