@fallenchemist I saw the article in the Chronicle and immediately looked at the numbers for Tulane. If you want to see something really interesting, look at Ole Miss and Alabama from 1998 to 2014.

In 1998 Ole Miss was a small school that was already highly reliant on out-of-state students. Alabama was a good but larger, but still small, and got only 26 percent of freshmen from out of state. In 2014 the Ole Miss freshman class had doubled, with a big increase from the northeast and California. And Alabama? It has just exploded, with the freshman class now being two-thirds out of state, with substantial numbers from the northeast.
