<p>He’d better! :D</p>
<p>Honestly, Birmingham was difficult for him. Just a little too “run down,” as he described it, and lots of homeless people on the streets around campus. Goodness knows, he’d find that in the North, too . . . but it’s just something he’d not experienced before. As for the University of Alabama . . . well, let’s just say that if a kid isn’t into football, visiting the day after the school wins the championship probably isn’t ideal! :rolleyes: The state universities have some absolutely amazing merit scholarships for out-of-state students, so it was an important trip . . . and I think, in the end, a few very impressive professors managed to win the kid over, despite his initial prejudice.</p>
<p>I’m actually jealous. The South is out of my comfort zone also, and I wish I’d been able to go with him.</p>
