I find it fishy this student ended up at Alcorn State?

It's an historically black school. Those still hold great loyalty from blacks, having educated kids at a time when white schools would not.

Though it is by definition a form of chosen segregation.

Alcorn is actually a bucolic campus and has many historical buildings

The huge cast iron stairs that survived Windsor Plantation after the fire found a second life there at the Oakland chapel.

A fair number of notables have graduated from there.

It’s biggest drawback is it’s fairly remote.

It should be noted up until post WWII most colleges up north were not open to blacks either
