Not my experience

Here in my humble OH village, our local high school - the top public HS in the region - sends multiple kids to Alabama every year.

Southern schools love smart northern kids and give them very generous aid packages. My anecdotal feedback is very good - these kids have good experiences. If by 'using' you mean receiving a quality, free, education, I suppose you are right.
