Looks like your kid may wind up as an NMF. If so here was a discussion of Tulsa you might find of interest. It also provides context for another low cost option UA.
Congratulations on making Tulsa such an attractive and affordable option for NMF kids who want to be surrounded by similar kids. It appears at this pace you will soon surpass 1,000 NMFs (of a total population of approx 4,000 students) and ultimately approach 30% of your students being NMFs.
That means you will have 10x the “density” of NMF compared to the University of Alabama’s 2.88% (1,142/39,623). Notable given Alabama had long billed itself as having the “biggest” NMF matriculation with approx 1,100 NMF. Impressive until you consider that UA has almost 40,000 undergraduate students.
At Tulsa greater than 1 in 4 students is a NMF while at UA for every 1 NMF there are 34 non NMFs. Certainly a different environment.

I raise this (and will continue to do so) for context. Alabama appropriately is often raised as a great affordable option for NMFs, but it does not offer the “density” of NMFs that a school like Tulsa provides.
Once again well done!
Edit: It should be noted that UA has an Honors College that has approximately 7,500 students so even if assuming all NMFs participate they are still outnumbered in this “elite” UA cohort 7 to 1.

Lol you sold me on Bama
If considering UA you should be aware the school boasts the “largest Greek population” of any college with a 12,000+ student Greek Community.
