I think Birmingham Southern has a stronger academic reputation. The acceptance rate for Medical and Law School is very high from their graduates, plus religion is not a factor on those who attend.

Second notch. Cumberland isn’t close to Alabama’s law school.

Correct. I worked at Spring Hill College in Mobile for a few years. Literally no one paid full tuition

I know a guy named John J Fisher Jr, who graduated from Samford. I think he is pretty rich too.
