They have full-time recruiters that are permanent residents of the state of California. No, they can no longer be considered a southern school. It’s a 4 year vacation for rich kids from the Left Coast, Rust Belt, & Northeast who couldn’t get in anywhere else. The university is only after those out of state tuition dollars.

You better go check Auburn's numbers before you open your mouth. Kinda want to see you dig a hole before I post them.

Bama has been a draw from non-southerners for a while now. I know at one time (30s and 40s maybe) they actively recruited the northeast.
The pitch at that time was going after northeastern WASPs who did not want their children going to school with Jewish kids (which were entering the northeastern colleges in high numbers).

I have 2 kids at Bama right now that are both part of the Greek life.
While there is a lot of out of state kids there, mine included, the Greeks are still "Southern".
You will always have the part of the student population that will swing liberal, when I was there in the late 80"s we had the same thing.
I was just there for 4 days and I can say Bama is still a Southern school without a doubt!

Of the 38,103 undergraduate, professional and graduate students enrolled at UA in the fall semester of 2019,
39.7% come from Alabama
56.5% come from elsewhere in the United States
3.8% are international students from 76 countries
56.4% are women
43.5% are men
The original poster is correct, but is that a bad thing? Alabama has grown their product, primarily through athletics. Instate kids are not being turned away, they just grew. The big thing is that Academics have not fallen back.
From 2018 Enrollment.LINK .
Nearly 15,000 in-state students were enrolled at Auburn that semester, more than 1,500 more than enrolled at the University of Alabama.
Alabama was second with just over 13,000 students, followed by the University of Alabama at Birmingham with 11,000.
Just 40 percent of Auburn’s 24,000 undergraduate students came from somewhere other than Alabama.
UA got more than 1,000 students from six different states, including 1,100 from California and 1,600 from Illinois.

It was actually the opposite. Alabama was recruiting Jewish kids from the northeast that were being denied college entry based on them being Jewish.

Northerners feel safe there. Less opportunity to be raped than at other southern schools.

And I agree the school has traded its culture for out of state tuition checks and new buildings. I don’t like it, but the checks I write aren’t big enough for them to care and Alabama doesn’t produce enough instate students who meet the profile to sustain the target enrollment numbers they decided they have to have.
So now they take the 2nd and 3rd tier kids from IL, CA and wherever else they can find them and pretend it’s progress. It’s not.
Yep, I live in Colorado now so I don’t get back to Tuscaloosa often. But everytime I do some massive new building or fraternity/sorority house has been constructed blocking the view of the sky.
I never agreed with the strategy to increase enrollment so high, it’s lost the feeling it had even when I was there from 08-12. It doesn’t even feel like the same campus they’ve crammed so much shite on it. The Yanks have no idea the tradition of the hallowed ground they walk on at the Capstone.

Bama has always had a strong Jewish contingent

Do y'all have some sort of club newsletter or a conspiracy board on 4chan where Auburn fans disseminate the evil things that the University of Alabama does?
The shite you guys come up with never ceases to amaze me.

That legacy of Jewish students coming to Alabama is how Bernie Madoff ended up at Alabama.

Great accurate response... I didn't understand why the prior Auburn posters didn't realize the same thing wasn't happening on the plains.

Nope. I'm fine with it.

Not being a DKE this might be true, Undertakers Ball sounded like a mess.
As far as the other stuff goes, when you do get back talk to the students. They will tell you how much and how fast the culture is changing there, it’s going to be a major issue moving forward.

I’m sure some of those students from the north would have chosen LSU instead of Bama if it weren’t for the rape culture in Baton Rouge.

Unlike lsu Bama is a national school.
