@aeromom I LOVE that UA is bringing in more OOS students. I think that only helps the university and hope they continue targeting quality OOS kids. My issue is that most of the OOS students understandably won’t stay in state as much as the kids that are already from the state would. I talk to kids here locally and they aren’t even considering UA. Their parents and friends all want them to go to AU even if the parents aren’t from the state or has any affiliation with AU. Unfortunately The University of Alabama still has a stigma that if you want an engineer degree than AU is the better option by far; when in reality both schools have great programs.
