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.
