1. Alabama
If I had to make an observant average of the height of the students/general fan base. I would say they were probably around 5'7" - 5'8", but they were consistent. If you're above 6'0" at Alabama, they'll probably think you were a football player.

2. Texas A&M
Texas A&M is close behind, very close behind, at the Texas A&M basketball game and nightlife it seemed that most students were significantly height impaired on average. There were often outliers that had to be barely knocking over 5'4". On the other end there were a handful of guys that were maybe a couple of inches over 6ft tall. If you're over 6ft tall at Texa A&M, they would probably worship you.

3. Ole Miss
The girls are taller than most of the guys. I couldn't make this comparison at Texas A&M. If you're above 6'0" at Ole Miss, you'll stand out in most situations.

4. Auburn
Close to Ole Miss but I would draw their average to about 5'10ish or possibly higher, still fairly short and below the national average.

5. LSU
Not terribly short but generally shorter than most SEC schools.

Tallest Schools?

Maybe Florida and Tennessee, at 6'5" I felt around the same height as most of their students and fans.

If you notice height, you're probably not tall.






or an MSU fan.

Weird. I felt Ole Miss was the shortest collection of males I have ever seen. But judging by the poster, I'm now going to infer that title probably belongs to State.

5. LSU




This list is BS.
In GA, I was at average height.
At LSU, I was a damn giant. I swear the average height had to be 5'6.

It isn't anything personal, it's just most people I have met from the state are short as hell. Or there will be the occasional giant. It is about a 20/1 ration with there being no one in the middle.

Ole Miss does have a lot of short bros now that I think about it.

Man it would be cool to be 6'0 tall...

I'm 5'9
