I wanted to mention that Bama is doing a great job of attracting quality students. They seem to have lots of money for generous scholarships and they are constantly building new facilities. The dorms are incredible and the campus is gorgeous. With a 28 on the ACT you can go to the honors college and attend a small school within the larger university setting. Lots of personal attention.
I am sure there are out of state students who pay full price (I know a few) for Bama and Auburn because it's worth it. Many Florida students are shut out of Univ. of Florida/FSU because the prepaid program and state scholarships have made it very competitive. Bama and Auburn are great schools and are attracting good students who just don't have the stellar stats to get into UF.
