My daughter is an oos student at Alabama. She is taking advantage of the National Merit scholarship that includes everything except meals. That includes a laptop, summer study money, and book money. She looked at Indiana, UK, Belmont, Vanderbilt and a few others. After she visited Alabama, she was sold. The people were so nice, the scholarship was the best of all the places she considered, and the campus is just gorgeous.
Some people wonder why she chose Alabama, but there are many Ole Miss alums in our community that get the appeal of a southern school. Her rush experience was near perfect, so yes, oos students are making an impact on the Greek system and can have a successful recruitment. Dr. Witt has said that the next increase in the student body would come with graduate students, and he hoped to cap undergrad enrollment at 30,000.
