<p>^ I was going on tuition alone, but either way, it’s a lot of money.</p>
<p>mom2collegekids: It’s great to hear about a first-hard Alabama experience - coming from a New England prep school, you don’t find many people who have gone or are going there. I should be accepted into the Honors College, and where my SAT scores are right now, I’d be at the level of a 2/3 scholarship, but I’m very close to the full tuition level. I think it’s a great option and have only heard positive things about the school, but my parents are less supportive. Either way, I’m planning to apply there as soon as I can when the app goes up on July 1st so that I can have an early answer. Thanks so much for all the information.</p>
<p>Endicott: That’s exactly how I feel. I love the idea of a huge school with so many different people to meet and things to discover, and I feel like by being in an Honors College or Sorority it would be easy to find my own small community within the large one. Thank you for confirming that I’m not crazy in what I’m looking for in colleges.</p>
