I think USC is another big target school. As I recall, a lot of the “push” came from people who were uncomfortable with the campus protests up north. Without wanting to be political, I think generally as a demographic those students are perhaps less likely to be put off by some of the more overt changes in college policy in the south we may be seeing. What my husband and I observed as immigrants is, I think, also true of university students -the US is huge and varied, and whatever your particular brand /combination of politics and lifestyle preference is, and yes factoring in the cost of living (or in this case, tuition), there will be places to find where you will feel at home.
