High school seniors from the North flock to southern universities

High school seniors from the North flock to southern universities:
'Many teens are eager to trade the political polarization ripping apart campuses in New England and New York for the sense of community epitomized by the South’s football Saturdays,' the Wall Street Journal columnists wrote
High school seniors are flocking to southern universities like Clemson and Alabama over America’s most prestigious colleges in the North, a column in the Wall Street Journal.

"A growing number of high-school seniors in the North are making an unexpected choice for college: They are heading to Clemson, Georgia Tech, South Carolina, Alabama and other universities in the South," columnists Douglas Belkin and Andrea Fuller wrote.

Belkin and Fuller wrote that although far more students applied to Ivy League schools than in the past 20 years, Clemson and Georgia Institute of Technology "have seen even a bigger spike in interest."
