The cost of living in different parts of the southern region can be wildly different


Can be. But I would think the majority of SEC grads live in the 18 major metros of the SEC footprint + Charlotte.

These would include: (1) Dallas, (2) Houston, (3) Miami, (4) Atlanta, (5) Tampa, (6) St. Louis, (7) Orlando, (8) Charlotte, (9) San Antonio, (10) Austin, (11) Kansas City, (12) Nashville, (13) Jacksonville, (14) Oklahoma City, (15) Memphis, (16) Louisville, (17) New Orleans, (18) Birmingham, and (19) Tulsa

The cost of living between these 19 metros is fairly comparable with the already noted exceptions of Austin and Miami.

Florida is the cheapest for in state students, which would go a long way if I were choosing a school these days. Paying 6k a year vs 12k is huge imo. I wouldn't even consider OOS tuition.

eh, not really. Some are, but there are wide gaps between several of them. Memphis, for instance, is about 30% cheaper than Nashville for daily expenses, and housing costs are about 70% cheaper. That's a pretty significant gap for two cities in the same state.
