Leaving out the antisemitism claim, which I sincerely doubt is in the top five reasons for this, but...
I have tutored many strong students in competitive NJ high schools, and I am surprised how popular public Southern universities are in the college search. We can debate the exact reasons, but the trend is a solid fact.
Yeah, My nephew graduated from Coastal Carolina...He said most of the students there were from the midwest and the NE. Now, I dont want to take anything away from the quality of education at the school.. but I am sure there are other factors for that other than whatever the political environment is on campus....

$$$$$$$$$$
SC out of state tuition is much cheaper than NE schools. 28% of CCU students are from out of state. Hardly “most”.
SC schools have always been popular with NE students. College of Charleston is 43% out of state.

The out of control protests have ramped up this year. I don't think anybody is claiming it has been a top 5 reason.
Furman and Wofford in SC, both private colleges, have been popular with out of state students.
College football has been a major factor for Clemson

The University of South Carolina’s out-of-state enrollment is 52.43% according to College Factual. I’ve always known it to be pretty high, but I didn’t know it was that high.

I find that number hard to believe. If you scroll down a bit from that number, it only indicates 2,300 in state students. Maybe that number is for post graduate.
I have no way to validate either number. But I did send an email to the registrars office asking why this information isn't included in all the other info they report.

Your link.
And one final thought before I leave this, now silly, discussion. The NY Post didn't provide any data to support their point. No wonder you chose it.
You have posted more than anybody but me on a topic you think is silly despite having no affiliation with Clemson, Columbia, G Tech
