<p>What are some pros and cons of the following schools:
LSU
Mizzou
University of Oklahoma
University of Alabama</p>
<p>I want to be a teacher and go to school in the south, to a school with a good football team, lots of school spirit, and a good dance team along with a good secondary education program
These are some schools I'm considering..can anyone give me a hand?!</p>
<p>Missouri and Oklahoma aren’t really southern. The regional cultures there are different than LSU and Alabama which are ensconsed in the “deep south”. </p>
<p>That said, they’re all fine universities. Good luck.</p>
<p>Since all 4 of them are ~same region and ~same prestige, choose the one that gives you the most financial aid.</p>
<p>None of those schools will give an OOS student much “need-based aid.” </p>
<p>However, if you have high stats, some will give you merit aid.</p>
<p>LSU and Alabama which are ensconsed in the “deep south”.</p>
<p>:rolleyes:</p>
<p>LSU is in Cajun country…not really the “deep south” culture.</p>
<p>Alabama is in Tuscaloosa…a large city that also isn’t deep in “southern culture.”</p>
<p>Neither is **ensconced **in the deep south culture.</p>
<p>God I suck at spelling. I corrected someone on another thread and I’m pretty sure that in the course of doing so I misspelled “misspelled” (mispelled?). ;-)</p>
<p>I’ll grant you that LSU is a different flavor of southern, but my experience is that both are <em>very</em> southern culture schools. Especially Alabama! Then again, I’m a Tennesseean, and we darn near touch Illinois, so what do I know? ;-)</p>
<p>well thank you! these are things i have known and considered…i know all of these schools will have a different regional atmosphere, I’m looking for warmth versus culture is what I meant…just to clarify</p>
<p>Especially Alabama!</p>
<p>Well, since I’m certain that I’ve spent a lot more time on Bama’s campus than you ever will, I can say that you’re wrong…very wrong.</p>
<p>so what do I know?</p>
<p>Like I said…</p>
