The academics at UA are stellar. Being a biology major, I have multiple resources and professors that are willing to help. However, just like every other school, it is important to be able to learn on your own. The student body is competitive, so slacking off would be detrimental to a student's grades, but after all, college is that sink or swim moment. The education that I received here will lead me into bigger and better things, knowing this, UA is a great school for better opportunity and a quality education.

So far I have had great professors this year as a freshman. All of my classes have been small, with only at the most of 50 people for a lecture I have. The rest of my classes are all small like it was in high school for me. I guess it depends what class it is, I haven't been in a large auditorium lecture yet, hopefully wont. The professors are all awesome with responding to emails on the day i send it, they can make appointments to meet for papers too. The student writing center is such a great place to go to for help with anything, I go for writing papers if you need help how to start or have someone proof read. And its all free! You can make an appointment or do a walk in.

The classes here are not too bad meaning they are not hard and not easy. As long as you do the work and study a little bit, you will do fine. Also, show a little participation in class because professors love that.

The students here are mostly study hard, sometimes you can't find a seat in the libraries.

The best thing about this school is the people and all the different ways there are to get involved and meet new people. I would change the attitude of the non Greek students in relation to the Greek community. When you tell people that you go to the University of Alabama they always want to know about the football program.Most of my time on campus is pent in class and in the library studying. Tuscaloosa is a great college town where there is always something going on the strip and down town bars are always raging Thursday through Saturday but also a large number of house parties for people that are not into the bar seen. The largest recent controversy would be the machine and its influence on campus. There is a ton of school pride especially during football season. I will always remember my first game in the student section at the University of Alabama.

Academics at the University of Alabama are varying depending on ones major. They are what you make them. If you want to get to know your professors well, it is up to you to take the incentive and talk to them. Once you take the initiative, the professors are all friendly and willing to talk to you.

Classes at The University of Alabama range is size from 30 students to 300 students. I have made it point to introduce myself to my teachers and participate in class discussion, as well as study in my free time. Many of my friends who study and go to class do well, but the ones who do not do these things struggle just to pass. A student's grade is dependent on their integrity and ambition. The most interesting class I have taken was Kinesiology 199 because that was the first class I took related to my major Sports Science and Medicine. My professors provided their e-mail address and office hours so they were very accessible outside of classes if needed. Overall, the classes I have taken are academically rigorous and are geared toward preparing students for success in their future careers. Although, I feel that UA's standards for acceptance is too low and takes away from their reputation. The University of Alabama has a great academic program that challenges it's students and prepares them for their future careers.

It is very competitive, but I think that is necessary. Most classes are interesting and informative.
