Oh I gotcha. Yea LSU (well all state funded schools) are in a mess because of what you just talked about. They have this thing called TOPS down here, it pays full tuition to instate kids that go to instate schools. Get this, the only eligibility requirements you have to meet to attain tops is residency requirements, a 20 on the act, and a 2.5 Highschool gpa. That's insanity that's the most unsustainable eligibility requirements I ever heard. That means that average and below average kids straight out Highschool get a full ride. They want to increase taxes to pay for it. (That is why the governor was using scare tactics, by talking about doing away with LSU footbAll) I would have been ecstatic if all I had to do was graduate with a 2.5 and got a 20 on my act and get free college in Alabama. Really makes me angry cause most of these kids take one semester fail out and tax payers are stuck with the bill.
