I always get a good laugh out of people trying to say Tuscaloosa is a crime ridden ghetto. Some of you need to get out more.

It's so irritating when people say this kind of stuff. More people are capable of being fire fighter or being teachers than are capable of being a great quarterback. It is what it is. Same reason psychology majors have tough times finding jobs after graduating when compared to STEM majors. Don't blame society.

Coal is still the most common used source of fuel in the United States, especially for industrial purposes. I don't understand how people could have a problem with UA making money off of the reparations. I don't think the fallen soldiers would be offended if they did. I always knew UA got reparations, but I figured they had already sold it all. Why have they sat on so much cash for so long?

I know exactly what I'm talking about. You're doing typical things that people do when they're losing an argument. How much of a percentage of Auburn is their vet school or pharmacy school that you guys are so proud of? I can't believe I actually had to spell this out for you. How did you not realize how stupid your comment about the 3 % was when you posted it? Did you really not expect the same thing to be said to you in return?

You're so dense. It is an explanation for the reputation of UA being the school for doctors, businessmen, and lawyers. It is why the school has the reputation of being the school in Alabama for the higher socio economic class. I know that the medical school hasn't been in Tuscaloosa in a long time. You can still finish your last two years of medical school in Tuscaloosa though. UAB is part of the "University of Alabama System" as well. If Auburn Montgomery had an awesome medical school, I'm sure no Auburn alumni would be proud of that. You have just completely missed the whole point.

You do realize it used to be in Tuscaloosa right? The capitol of the state was also in Tuscaloosa. So, Alabama has the reputation of being the school to go to for doctors and lawyers because of past history.

You have nothing to say, so you say something that sounds like you're taking some sort of high road because you couldn't possibly explain it to me because I'm so "blind." You really have nothing to say is what is really happening here.

What that guy said really wasn't out of left field. Bama does have more of a history of producing doctors and lawyers haha. His description of Auburn could be applied to any land grant school. I don't know how saying something like that is comparable to an Auburn fan then countering with criticism of the law profession? Seems kind of an ad hominem situation to me. You know, sort of the stereotypical barner response to an argument.

They're all pretty equivalent for undergrad if they're an ABET accredited university. Auburn's currently has a higher ranking. I see that gap closing in the next few years as Alabama is getting better students and has invested around $500 million into the program.
You totally missed the main point I was making though. We both produce engineers, so how can one claim a moral high ground over the other? How did you miss that? Alabama has a social work school. Many people view joining the profession as admirable and selfless. So, by barner logic, we're the better school yayyyyyyy! That's why I'm a Bama fan, because our social work does such good work for society!!!!

Just love the good we're doing for society woooo hooooo

This is trite and you seem like a simpleton even though you claim to have graduated from U of A. Don't be upset that Alabama's law school has never really produced anyone of consequence except to inflate the ranks of a ridiculous and over bloated "profession" with more mediocrity. Our Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Veterinary Medicine, and Pharmacy programs have added more value to our society than your "prestigious" law school.

You do realize that Alabama has an engineering school also? This is such a classic pathetic attempt from a barner. Instead of admitting Alabama has a good law school, you just attack the morality of the profession. Our nursing school is larger. Does that mean we can claim a moral high ground over your school?

re: 60% of Freshmen out-of-state; 47% of the entire student body is out of state

Posted by TheGumpCard on 11/5/13 at 9:25 pm to c-r

I don't see how this could be a bad thing. OOS pays more money, increases alumni base, and brings tax money and educated people to the state. It seems like a win win situation for everyone involved. How is UA being 60% oos compared to Auburn's 37% being "just ahead" though?

The only thing I worry about is if the school can keep these numbers going after Saban leaves and the football team undoubtedly starts to return to Earth. I know the school is more than football, but I do think a lot of students see the football program as a definite plus in deciding to come here. If less students start coming here, will the school have the finances to support all of their new investments on campus?

But everyone knows Auburn doesn't have any trash fans. I had someone from my highschool that attends Auburn brag to me recently that his uncle knew someone in North Carolina that thought of Auburn as the ivy of the south... That is the problem with all of you. You're completely delusional if you believe Auburn is the ivy of the south. The term, "ivy of the south" is ridiculous by itself. But, if one was to use the phrase, then Vandy or Duke(if you count Duke being in the south) easily take the cake. Auburn isn't even ivy of the fine state of Alabama... But Auburn supporters just make up random shite and create false images when compelled with facts and rational thoughts. It's always, "my young cousin's high school guidance counselor said Auburn was a better school than Alabama." That's not subjective, but US News is? The frog and Miami characters are great examples of this illusion. Btw frog, Alabama's highest oos population is from Texas, not Georgia, dumbarse. You just completely make shite up. "Bama cheats, but Auburn is completely clean," as they cheer on Cam Newton. Just wtf is wrong with ya'll? You're the fricking Morris Act ag school for the state of Alabama.

Even assuming Alabama did take over, that doesn't mean Auburn is on the decline unless you view the world solely through that prism, which I'm sure you do. Nonetheless, Auburn is improving, as is Alabama. Acceptance rates speak more to a popularity problem for Auburn than an academic performance problem. Look to the stats for incoming classes, which probably don't show much disparity.

I would say that, when a state/regional school that prides itself on its engineering school, begins to have lesser quality engineering students than its rival, they are declining.

Neither school is on the decline, stop being an idiot. Both are benefitting greatly from an overflow of Georgia kids that started due to the HOPE scholarship and has continued as UGA has gained clout in places like Dallas, and Tech has gained clout among international students. Oh, and Alabama HS students are probably getting better too as development is pumped into the state.

Auburn is on the decline, stagnant at best. UA is growing with quality and starting to overtake Auburn on things that are supposed to be their strengths. Auburn admits around 80% of their students? Yeah, they are just where they want to be. I hope Auburn's administration has the same mindset as you. Just sit back while Alabama takes over. Texas A&M graduates have a higher average starting salaries than UT-Austin graduates. Everyone knows UT-Austin is a better school though.

Nothing to refute. AU engineers will continue to be in greater demand and make more money because they got a better education and did not attend a second rate school like UAT. Results matter lil gump. AU grads make a lot more money than UAT grads because they get better educations. Facts gonna fact. Proof is in the pudding. Etc

Auburn has a higher starting salary because they don't have majors like social work. Yeah, social workers don't make a lot of money. But, the country needs them, and so does the state of Alabama. In the past they've had more engineers graduate from the school. Engineers make the highest starting salaries for people with bachelor degrees usually. Can you follow this thought process? Auburn engineers aren't in greater demand. In the past, there has just been more of them. Good try at deflecting though. Auburn is on the decline. I thought we inflated our admission statistics? How do you explain UA having a larger engineering class with higher test scores? The REC?

But really, no barners want to refute their engineering school's decline? You admitted almost every single candidate that applied and had what, around a 33% yield rate? UA admitted around 60% of the people that applied and had around a 50-60% yield. Not to mention UA's higher SAT scores.

Alabama is beginning to separate from Auburn. Alabama's engineering school had a freshman class in 2012 that was larger and more qualified than Auburn's. I know that must really sting you delusional barners... Before you go full retard and make up things, here you go, unbiased data from a third party.

I never used the term "prestigious" in this whole thread. We don't have an online MBA program. I would get one at the highest ranking school I could get into. I may also factor in the regional alumni base too. I figure I will have a good chance at getting into Carnegie Mellon online, Kelley online, Duke maybe, or do part time through UT Austin or A&M. I never said Alabama was a better school than Michigan. I just said it wasn't a shitty school.
