<p>*Too bad its in alabama though I dont think I would ever willingly go into the deep south

<p>LOL…Tuscaloosa does not feel like the “deep south” at all. Tuscaloosa was voted Most Livable City in America. I don’t know what you think Alabama is like, but I doubt it’s accurate.</p>
<p>I’m from California, and I’ve lived in Alabama a few years now, and I’ve experienced ZERO culture shock or anything. </p>
<p>Good-sized American cities are not that much different anymore. The influences from national companies, transplants, etc, really cause a melting pot situation.</p>
<p>The University of Alabama has about 44% OOS students. Over 50% of this year’s frosh class is from OOS. Over 1000 students are at Bama are from Texas alone.</p>

<p>As mentioned above…with your stats, you’d get at least full tuition. That’s assured if you apply before Dec 1st. I think you should visit, you’d be surprised.</p>
<p>*Presidential Scholar
An out-of-state first-time freshman student who meets the December 1st scholarship priority deadline, has a 32-36 ACT or 1400-1600 SAT score [critical reading and math scores only] and at least a 3.5 cumulative GPA will be selected as a Presidential Scholar and will receive the value of out-of-state tuition for four years. </p>
