I also wanted to add that I didn’t notice any “southern” feel at all, but maybe I’m dense or missed something?! Of course some people had an accent and called me “ma’am”, which felt super-strange and made me a bit uncomfortable (I know it’s meant to be polite, but I’m just not at all used to that). Of course everyone was super-friendly, but we are from the midwest and I didn’t notice that it was much different in that respect. I have also heard that girls get very dressed up. Nope, not when we were there! In fact, the “uniform” seems to be a LARGE T-shirt (probably Alabama or sorority logo most often) over athletic shorts, usually so that the shirt comes down to the hem of the shorts! Very casual, and we even saw this out at night. Nobody looked dressed up to us at all. My son likes to dress preppy, and I thought we’d see some of that but we sure didn’t. I’m sure there are days students are dressed up, but on your regular school day it is very casual and athletic wear.
