I cannot agree. I’ll again post my links to diversity on campus–The other item which is rather dramatic is the comparative diversity of each school:https://www.admissions.ucla.edu/campusprofile.htm and http://www.ua.edu/quickfacts/demographics.html
Not only are the campuses dissimilar, the cities, the composition of the cities and their attendant amenities are stark and distinct. Please be clear, I’m not saying Tuscaloosa is not a nice city, it is, but is it world class and cosmopolitan like LA; I think anyone would be hard pressed to make that argument.
