Interest in Colleges in the Southern U.S. is Blooming

According to an article in Axios in early July, more and more students from the Northeast are enrolling in SEC schools than ever before. Leading the way is enrollment at LSU and Tennessee, followed by Ole Miss. In two decades, 84% more students from the North attended public schools in the South, per a Wall Street Journal analysis last year. It jumped 30% from 2018 to 2022.

"The Racehorse Who Waited" is a wonderful essay about the state of our society as always rushing, always running, looking for ways to be faster and quicker. Not so with a horse named Journalism at the Preakness Stakes. He was all about patience. As Mark Robichaux writes, "...we all remember the kids who seemed to have it all figured out at 17. But time has a way of revealing what matters. Some of us come from behind."
