We’re not talking about a cheap commuter school or an accessible community college. The in-state cost for a 4 year degree is 138k. There are plenty of schools with the same admission requirements for the same sticker price.
You can get a similar academic, athletic, and campus experiences at other places. If you don’t bother, then you care more about the crimson A branding than being associated with scumbags.
Like I said, there are 13 other institutions that are also in state where you can get the same aid. And that doesn’t even matter for the 67% from out of state, they could save money on the switch.
You have a pretty limited view of higher ed if you think there’s no way to attend a university that doesn’t have these problems.
Yeah, my view is soooo limited. I really can’t wrap my head around a poor person giving up 3 jobs and moving to a new town without any income because I’m soooo narrowninded
They’re college students. They already moved to live in Tuscaloosa, have temp/seasonal jobs and all of their possessions fit in 2-3 suitcases. Millions of students accomplish this every year for much weaker reasons. Stop acting like it’s uprooting a family of 4.
I can’t tell if you’re serious or farming downvotes. Leaning towards downvote farming since you’re so far off from reality. Over 1/4th of college students are parents. Close to that many skip meals because they can’t afford it.
If you, somehow, are serious, you need a reality check.
“I’m too poor to not give money to a regressive university”
Bama has over 40k students enrolled and less than 200 bothered to even protest this shitbag giving a commencement speech. There wasn’t even a movement to skip attending the event at all.
I know college students at minor schools, I know people who work in admissions at major universities, I know grad students who are single parents. I know people who handle scholarships and grant funding.
Yeah college is an expensive bureaucracy and not having money makes it harder. But trust me when I say that anyone scraping by at a flagship university has a way out. This isn’t cold hearted bootstraps, the university system is probably the most supportive career institution in America (if you’re a student).
There are a plethora of ways to show you give a shit and resources to help you do it. The people still at Bama don’t give a shit.
How many publicly funded universities are in Alabama? And how many are within a reasonable distance of [insert town here]?
People rely on public schools. You can’t just up and move to a different one
67% of Bama’s student body is from out of state. The in state students are no more than a 5 hour drive from anywhere else in the state. So again, 14.

The in state cost with $0 in aid.
You’ve never applied to college?

“Why don’t poor people move further?!”
