From the article:

Florida sends out more students than it receives. It sends the most college students to Alabama, with 1,161 leaving for school.

Gee I wonder where these Florida kids are going? ;

Thanks for sharing. Texas info is spot on. D17 has applied to UA for fall 2017 and hopefully we’ll be one of those UA families!

I bet you would find that Troy and USA are very popular with kids in the Florida panhandle.

How about Alabama freshman that stay in-state?
