Won't be true much longer. Has went from $9,000 per semester to $13,200 per semester in my time here. They're raising it as quickly as they can.


Theyre fricking us hard.

Bama recruits our high schools hard. Used to be, nobody even thought about UA around here. I guess that is the Saban influence.


My best friend is a national merit scholor. An Alabama recruiter sent him an acceptance letter with a full ride. He mentioned that he didnt want to leave his friends, a week later i get called into the school office and UA sent me a streamlined application which was basically an acceptance letter. When I got home we has 2 additional pieces of mail from the school. It was wild, i was an average student so i can confirm they recruit hard.

Way back in 2006 when I was choosing schools, it was overwhelming the amount of effort Alabama put into recruiting me, as well as several other of my friends I the Atlanta area. Between the letters, random bama gear in the mail, and probably the best campus tour guide I've ever laid my eyes on, it did the trick.

So, my OOS dollars and my post grad donations attend UA. Honestly, it was cool to go to a school with a super diverse student body with kids from all over. It was something that chased me away from places like LSU and Auburn. Both were fine schools, but Alabama just made bring an out of state kid a really smooth transition. Even if Atlanta was just a few hours away.....

Alabama sent me transfer postcards a solid year after my freshmen year at LSU. Their recruiting office is so damn aggressive. I was a very solid high school student (can't say the same about college)

In regards to LSU's freshmen class? Not really except it's the third largest in school history (5,655) and BR campus stands at 30451(+2%) & system wide 44,246(+2.4%)

I haven't seen any info on the freshmen demographics & etc but have been on the lookout. I know the average ACT on campus last year was either a 26.7 or 27.6. I can't remember which though

Why does that not suprise me.

I sent the Revellie a tweet that they should mop up an article like the Crimson White one. Always interesting seeing where everyone comes from. Theres a purple 5 series bmw on campus from a kid who lives in my city back in Florida, that was cool to see.
