The University of Alabama Top Questions

Life at The University of Alabama is all I could hope for. The campus is beautiful. The properties are well maintained and it has an air of real safety on campus. I immediately got involved in Greek Life and found a sisterhood beyond compare. Being an only child and then coming the UA and Delta Gamma I have a family that is better than anything I ever imagined.

Getting out of my car in the morning to tour this school, I knew this place would be my home away from home. For years I had pictured what college would be like, and what I wanted out of my college experience (down to every last detail). Being a "picky" person I didn't know if I would find my dream school, but this place is amazing. Every day I feel so lucky to go here, that I get to admire how beautiful the campus is throughout every season. This college is truly amazing, not only the campus, but the community as a whole. There is something for everyone here, and there is always something going on (especially on game day).

It is a great school. We have a great balance between academic excellence and a wonderful social atmosphere. Not to mention were national champs!

The best thing I love about UA is the transit buses. They take you everywhere on campus, you just have to know which bus to get on. Class wise, UA is not too big. For example, I have been here almost a full year and my biggest class had about 30 kids, which is the same as high school. There is a lot of school pride here at UA. Mainly during football season, people you don't know will walk pass you and said "Roll Tide" and scream; they are expecting a "Roll Tide" from you. When I tell my friends or anyone I attend The University of Alabama they say, "Oh Alabama State or Alabama in Birmingham."

One of the best things about my school is all the opportunities (free events and education programs) that are offered.

The best part about the University of Alabama is the campus and the overall atmosphere. While many might say it is football season, I came to UA because of the educational opportunities and the sheer beauty and sophistication of the campus. People believe that UA is a large student body, however, with roughly 26,000 students, we are not as large as people think--allowing UA to expand and grow in upcoming years. This is definitely a college town, and while much of the student body goes home for the weekends, there is usually always something to do on campus. The University of Alabama has presented multiple opportunities for me, and I could not be happier with my college choice.

I believe that the best thing about my school is the campus life along with academics. Alabama has a beautiful campus with a green quad to relax in between classes. If I had to change one thing, it would be the dining halls. The quality of food is low for the price that I pay. I spend most of my time either at the Ferguson Center, Gorgas Library, or in my dorm room.

The Sports, Academics and Traditions is the best thing about this school. The University of Alabama contains a ton of school pride. Everywhere you go there is a "Roll Tide!" One thing I would change would be for students to help find their clique. The school feels and looks large but in reality its just like a small town. The University of Alabama is definitely a "college town." This means that the city or town is covered by the campus with little outskirts of some other secondary/primary schools and communities. One experience you will definitely remember about this school is the sport of football. You will never forget it.

The best thing about the University is that although the university has almost students, I feel that I can still connect with my professors. One thing I would change would be the online websites required to do homework. To me, they are not helpful and generally do not allow partial credit for incorrect work. The University of Alabama is a well respected university with several diverse fields of study. I spend most of my time either at home studying or socializing with my fraternity. Tuscaloosa is a well oriented college town, where you can almost walk anywhere in 15 minutes or less. The administration is friendly and helpful, although some foreign teachers are more difficult to understand and learn from.The biggest recent controversy at this university had to be the threat of hazardous weather. I haven't noticed anything unusual with regards to the university. I will always remember the tornado that struck on April 27 of last year, as the remains from this tornado are still apparent throughout Tuscaloosa.The most frequent complaints has to be the level of difficulty associated with several lower level courses.
