With top colleges such as Auburn University, the University of Alabama, and the largest number of Historically Black Colleges and Universities(HBCUs) at students’ fingertips, you don’t see many Alabama students attending out-of-state institutions. The Education Data Initiative reports that only 14.2% of residents leave Alabama to pursue postsecondary pathways.
Students who decide to venture outside of Alabama should consider various factors in their decision-making process such as out-of-state tuition, distance from home, and travel expenses.
On November 30, we featured various out-of-state admissions counselors in our Admissions 101 webinar and asked them questions about their respective institutions. Learn more about each institution in the YouTube video below!
