<p>that made me curious as well gadad… I found this: [Office</a> of Institutional Research & Assessment - OIRA](<a href=“http://oira.ua.edu/webreport/enrollment2010/]Office”>http://oira.ua.edu/webreport/enrollment2010/) indicating roughly 33% are from outside Alabama.</p>
<p>I suspect the 43% figure is for the Honors College, which will contain the bulk of the OOS free tuition Merit Scholars.</p>
<p>EDIT – I looked further into the link above, and sure enough, FIRST TIME FRESHMEN enrollees at Alabama are 43%: <a href=“http://oira.ua.edu/webreport/enrollment2010/[/url]”>http://oira.ua.edu/webreport/enrollment2010/</a> 1- (3147/5563)</p>
