I think it's important to remember as well that there is not a monolithic Southern "way," "experience" or "image." What is generally true in Alabama, Mississippi or Georgia may not be generally true in the Carolinas or Virginia (not counting Northern Virginia. ) Likewise, the lay of things may be different still in Kentucky or Louisiana.

UNC and UVa are unquestionably Southern Schools, but with a rather different Southern Culture, I would expect, than say Ole Miss or Bama.

FWIW.
