I took my daughter over to the University of Alabama this weekend. She will be a freshman this year. She is a dance major, which the state of Tennessee does not offer. I did not think I could pay the out of state tuition (we live in Memphis), but due to a common market program for fifteen southern states, she will get to pay in-state tuition. For certain majors this is a huge savings. Google Southern Regional Education Board for more information. And yes, you can see Bryant-Denny Stadium from her dorm room window.
