Yea.. SC's numbers look pretty spot on. Confirms my beliefs that SC is the most "east coast" of all the SEC schools..
Speaking from experience, my freshmen year I lived in a 4 person on campus apartment and 2 of my suitemates were from Virginia, the other was from Boston.
Also, anybody that has attended USC in the last 10 years knows what I mean when I say "you can't throw a rock on campus without hitting somebody from New Jersey"..
Eventhough we're in the Deep South, USC has made a conscious effort to recruit more students from NC, Virginia and the mid-Atlantic states... and it's finally paying off. State legislators complain about the school not being for the people of SC... but then the school responds by arguing how the state has all but forced the USC to fiscally operate as a private university, leading to more out of state students (paying higher tuition).
That 3.4 percent of students from Georgia is 95% metro Atlanta... and another reason for NC's higher numbers is because SC actually offers some NC residents in state tuition, especially if you're from Charlotte, which is basically on the border.

Yea - a lot of the state schools in the SEC that don't have big metro areas that can support the schools alone (Texas, Georgia, Tennessee if you combine MEM/NSV/CHA/KNX) are going that route. Like I said above, I think it's a nice change of pace and can wonders. Shakes things up a bit, but also a lot of those kids take something Southern back with them.......or stay.
