Learn a major trade. Forget college.

Which one's in state? Go where it's cheapest for undergrad. See if you can make it through. Get a meaningful degree. Have some fun and if it all works out then try for a grad school later that helps you best position your future employment opportunities and interests.

If I was picking from just SEC Schools:

UGA
Ole Miss
Bama
Texas
LSU

Everyone else. I went to LSU but outside of the campus Baton Riuge and most of LA are terrible.

Im biased as hell for MSU but I’ll say why I think it’s a great school depending on major.

Starkville is the school. Not a whole bunch of city riff raff. Grocery store, restaurants, bars are almost all students, alumni, and professors.

It has tremendous value, low tuition, and is not overrun with liberal academic types. Still very conservative school.

City has a much lower cost of living.

7 saturdays a year it’s not quite what the others you listed are but year round it is a great place to be a college student.

Major matters though so start there

If I were 17 and major didn't matter? LSU.

If I were old enough to have some sense and major mattered? Depends on the major.

If I were old enough to have some sense and major didn't matter? Vo-Tech to become a welder to start making bank before getting into my mid-20s.

Arkansas
OSU
OU
Ole Miss
Mississippi State
LSU

Where you go other than an Ivy League doesn't matter. I would mainly factor expense and geography.

Go to welding school. You will not get a useful degree with that mentality
