University of Alabama at Birmingham Top Questions

UAB promotes diversity and encourages self-realization.

It has a great social enviroment

Students here stay very focused on future success and what is to come, and besides compared to all the other schools this school is actually reviewed as one of U.S. top medical and nursing school

This school is not really unique to me in any way.

It's right in the middle of the city but it doesn't FEEL huge. I like how it's got the city atomsphere but is small enough that you can still get around on foot.

This school offers various student life opportunities to get to know other students with fun things like candy apples for causes, smores night, movie night, and wing fling. It is also a newer school (built in 1969) and was undergoing construction to make more modern buildings, install campus wide wifi, and make classrooms with more technologically advanced equipment wise.

The city environment and availability of cultural events. Is a school large enough to have class options, but not so large to feel overwhelming.

It has one of the best computer science departments in the southeast.

UAB is very diverse. There are close to 187 different countries represented.

The only unique thing about UAB that I find alarming is that they take as much money as they can from the students. If a student cannot pay, they will not bend the rules. Instead, they give the option of a loan and a late fee.
