More and more from north

That's great! I know Alabama became popular where I'm from because they started going to the college fairs. I'm in a colder weather state too and everyone seems to want an SEC school.

LOL. 80% acceptance rate!! Yeah grad school! Good idea!! They’ll certainly accept you from 80% acceptance rate and not a half way decent college.

Yes, this is an easy school to get into, but the money is so good. I rather go here than a better school and be in debt. I got accepted to better schools but my parents told me I had to go where I was offered the most money so here I am. Not from NJ, but I feel like when I go out I meet NJ people all the time. The NJ people may be the same number as Alabama kids one day lol

Go to any major city with a college fair and Bama is there. They have so much merch and hustle to recruit. Bama is SEC and offer everything you could want in college along with some nice merit money. They know they will get that money back and then some with all the spending students and their families will do.

I'm from NJ and over the past few years Alabama has been mentioned a lot. When my brother and sister were looking at colleges no one even thought about coming down here. I just think the value can't be matched by northern schools even northern schools with big sport programs don't give close to the amount of money bama does. last year the majority of my floor was oos (many also jersey)
