In response to post # 46 @cassieann98 if you are considering schools and are basing your thoughts on the media presentations w/o visiting campus…
I don’t think old white rich men voted in Obama! (discounting your comment)
“Who still wields the vast majority of the power in the gov’t of AL? (hint: white people).” So are you basing your college decision by going to a state where you are going to avoid a particular race who you believe holds the power in the gov’t of that particular state?
Please read through my earlier post on this thread. I have lived in AL since the 1980’s.
Some students are attracted to a particular type of school - and that is totally fine. A school like UA is a successful University, but it is not a match for everyone, because of what a student is looking for at a school; something they may find somewhere else.
