<p>Great. UA is a solid public school that unfortunately gets overshadowed academically by its football team (although I like football and am perhaps just jealous because my team, Ohio State, does not fare well against the SEC). Like many southern publics (for example, MS, SC, and LSU), UA has invested a lot in recent years in improving facilities/faculties/research and, as a result, is beginning to attract more OOS.</p>
