University of Montevallo Top Questions

I considered several schools in the Birmingham and Montgomery areas of Alabama, and even visited many of them, but upon visiting Montevallo I knew it was the school I wanted to attend. The atmosphere alone is just incredible. The people on my campus are absolutely the nicest people I have ever met, and there is just such a strong sense of togetherness that it feels like home. I think that makes my school very unique. It was such an amazing feeling to come from a high school where I was often tormented, to a place where everyone feels like family.

We don't have a football team like most teams; however, we still have homecoming. Known nationally for our homecoming tradition called College Night. There are three colors: Purple, Gold, and Green. Purple side competes against Gold side in various competitions such as athletic games, sign raising, etc., and it all leads up to the big night where both sides put on a fully student-led production. All the music, choreography, directing, all done by students. At the end, the judges count up all the points and decide who the winner is. It's a great, unique, and unforgettable tradition.

The environment on campus is more friendly than most colleges, and it is easier to make friends. Because of the smaller campus it is easier to become involved in activities and meet new people.
