Um, no. Ya'll provide a lot of great moments for other teams, we would never wish for ya'll to do something like that.

Most of the poor people in state go to State, too.

Make fun of admission requirements. State and Ole Miss have the 18 act thing so that poor, (black), stupid people can get into college.

Typical Ole Miss frat boy response.
Yeah I'm far from your typical Ole Miss frat boy. What I meant by that is that my choice to attend Ole Miss resulted in me not being shackled with student loans like so many folks my age are. It's an incredible freedom to have and I have Ole Miss and the State of Mississippi to thank for that.
My choice to attend Ole Miss was just as much an educational decision as it was a financial one.

I think what he meant are "all of my friends are..."
The majority of Ole Miss students are naturally Mississippians. I think the point some folks were trying to make is that we have an unusually high out of state percentage for a state school.. or at least so we think.

This goes back to your financial statement. I know through the 90's it was cheaper for us Texas guys to pay out-of-state tuition in MS than attend A&M or Tech in my degree.

It's still true.

This fall, University of Arkansas enrollment is also at 69% in-state, down from 74% last year.
The biggest state they come from is Texas, specifically DFW, which is a 5 hr drive from campus.
I think in-state enrollment will boom now that we've started, just this week, a scholarship lottery providing lots of free money for kids to go to college in-state.
Damn, I swore I wouldn't post again in this thread.

I wanted to address this. You must be an idiot. Have you ever been to Memphis??
Memphis really doesn't have as much of a middle class as most cities it's size. Most of the kids that attend Ole Miss from Memphis are from fairly wealthy families from Germantown and Collierville. These kids also went to private schools. Most private schools in Memphis start around $8k a year. Poor kids don't go to private schools.

This is true. Memphis has no middle class. The kids who attend Ole Miss from Memphis are pretty damn wealthy.

haha that's nothing private schools around my neighborhood in brooklyn start at like 30k a year. Sure these SEC schools have a good bit of money and one person mentioned SMU earlier but even SMU is dwarfed by the ammount of money at some private universities in the northeast.

Ok exactly my point, and New York County (Manhattan) also has the highest salaries of any county in the country to match. It's not nearly as hard to be "wealthy" down south, when it reality if some of these so-called "affluent" southerners came to NYC they would only be able to afford a very middle-class lifestyle at best. So basically this was in reference to those two posters that seemed to think that SMU and Ole Miss have more money than any other school which is utterly well...
