The Rising Popularity of Southern Colleges - Top Tier Admissions

Over the last several months, a range of stories from The Free Press to The Wall Street Journal have proclaimed that students are ditching the Ivies for Southern colleges.

The points in the article make sense, lower cost, easier admission, common application (that really seems smart) but I didn't read anything in the article about political affiliation as @Ramrouser asserted. Unless that wasn't his assertion and he was just making a random statement.

That wasn't really the question. I'm not saying that tuition isn't increasing, I was asking how they relate it to the states politics?

Oh probably none at all.

But the downstream effect of a certain percentage sticking around is likely a net positive for some of these states.

I’ve noticed it too…growing up in Charlotte nobody I know went out of state to a southern public. You either got into carolina or you went to lol or you went on down the list. Some kids went ivy or dook…but not as many as I see today in my kids more suburban district. What I do see a lot though, and this blows my mind…is the “mid” kids (to borrow the gen Z term) going to places like Bama Tennessee VT etc. And a couple of them ended up in Nashville etc.
 
Man, I can’t imagine what kind of money figure it would take to get people to move to Alaska. When my wife was going through the job search and interview process last year this time, an executive search firm representing a hospital group in Alaska reached out on because they had an opening for my wife’s particular speciality and must’ve been having so much trouble recruiting to that location that the compensation offer was $1M+ with a huge signing bonus and full cost-of-relocation.

Lots of reasons, the most important being that we did not want to be far away from family and friends. But also the work schedule and the on-call schedule in order to make that kind of money in medicine is beyond brutal. Would have been absolutely miserable and not at all worth it.

Part of the Sad part of USA Medicine is that "poor" districts pay more than "nice " places They have less money-and yet have to pay more for Physicians because no one wants to live there

It was more tongue in cheek.

I would do almost anything for $1M a year. I'd work 3 years and retire.

Agreed. It’s ridiculously easy to recruit in places like the Bay Area, Northern Virginia, etc and CHEAP.

Meanwhile trying to get someone to move to Las Cruces is a massive overpay
