I have always thought that any school that has less then 50% of the student body from in state, doesn't deserve to have any state funding. I have heard the argument about out of state students paying their share of the operation cost of the school, but nobody ever figures in the cost of the buildings and infrastructure. Those were paid on the taxpayers backs for generations. Those OOSS will end up moving back home or to another state after graduation. It is not just UA, AU having 30% of their student body from OOS is unacceptable.

So basically MSU = flagship?
We basically already knew this. Ole Miss thinks of itself as the University of Old South Mississippi. The Confederacy as you will. They would never want to be The University of the Poorest State in the Nation. That would clash mightily with their pretentious natures. So #flagship? No.
Now #slaveship? Sure.

1. Arkansas (57.0%)

3. Missouri (5.5%)

No other state > 1%
That explains why they have that very good tasting eating establishment by the Arkansas Campus.....that's based out of Texas

Texans are culturally not much different from Western Arkansans. It's just middle south American. I can always pick out the SE Arkansas kids or Mississippi kids based on haircuts and accents. Texans blend in here better.

There's no way that's right. Our school is at least 60% Texan.

Western Arkansas and most all of Texas are not southern. Not a bad or good thing, just a fact.

Texas A&M is a Land Grant, Sea Grant, and Space Grant University
Eh, I guess it is a Sea Grant University. But a vast majority of the Sea Grant funding goes through A&M Corpus Christi.
I'm surprised that Florida is 4th LSU enrollment. I'm not sure if I know anyone from Florida at school.

Schools take a long time to gain academic reputations and an even longer time to lose them, but you look at those numbers, I get more and more impressed with Alabama every time. That is a nice mix of students and it looks like even the Californians don't mind Alabama. Good law school and good lawyers.
Birmingham is a way underrated city. You're close enough to the beach, in football country, and close enough to the mountains.

as i stated a week ago, aTm did lump in all of their health science centers in 2013 simply to inflate their research numbers, so they added in campuses in Bryan-College Station, Dallas, Temple, Houston, Round Rock, Kingsville, Corpus Christi and McAllen into their main campus
aTm's sole goal was to inflate their research numbers
I would be amazed if you could tell me what the A&M Health Science actually is without googling it.

Admittedly, I haven't read through the posts in this thread from today, but you are aware that the University of Alabama is not in Birmingham, right? UAB is located there obviously, with UA in Tuscaloosa. Just not sure I followed what the 2 statements had to do with each other.

Texas A&M students have almost zero interaction with anyone from outside the state of Texas
Old man, why don't you stick to talking about what you know about and it isn't A&M.
To say that A&M students have almost no interaction with anyone that isn't a Texan is crazy.
I have a BS from A&M and one of my best friends in school was a graduate student from Asia.

Don't understand why Legislatures fund the recruitment of so many OOS students.

I have had quite a few PLs in my career in the Army. The best and most competent one I have had the pleasure to serve with was an Aggie. That includes a couple west point types.

Not true.
quote:
Texas Sea Grant is part of NOAA's National Sea Grant College Program, a network of 33 university-based programs in coastal and Great Lakes states, Puerto Rico and Guam. Texas Sea Grant is headquartered at Texas A&M University in College Station and also has staff members located at Texas A&M University at Galveston and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi
Also, while A&M Corpus is a standalone university in its own right, Galveston is just an extension of the College Station campus to give College Station based faculty/students access to the gulf. The only degrees you can earn entirely on the Galveston campus are Maritime oriented like Marine Biology and Ocean Engineering. Everything else you have to head back to College Station to finish once you've exhausted the limited general curriculum courses offered in Galveston.

Texas Sea Grant Is Headquartered In College Station
Yes there are personnel in Galveston, Corpus Christi and other communities along the Texas coast but the shots are called from College Station. Love it when LSU people lecture about A&M.

Because some of them stay and become taxpayers.
If A&M and UT Austin were the only schools in Texas, you can bet they would be trying to pull in lots more out of state kids.
A state that wants to grow its economy has to pull in out of staters somehow.
