Freshman: Auburn University is a great state university! There are plenty of opportunities to explore campus and make connections. Every year they have over a month’s worth of freshman related events to go to, it’s very welcoming. Advisors are friendly and I have had no problems with my professors. Study and you will get the most out of your classes, though Auburn has plenty of free tutoring/aid for students as well! The only things that have been a problem are parking and housing. I live off campus, but I have heard about the hygiene of on some on campus buildings being below par. Parking is also extremely limited, and there is a lot of construction going on in Auburn. There’s nothing wrong with the academia itself, but be prepared to take extra time to park in designated areas and walk to classes. Investing in a scooter or bike may be wise, but arranging your schedule to be manageably walkable also works. AU is very thorough with campus safety so the only issue there is extra exercise....

Other: I was just accepted to attend Samford, December 1st, and I am overly excited, as this is my 1st and top choice of schools. I am a Christian and the college represented everything I'm looking for in a college. The college is only 2 hours away from my primary home, which is great! I was very happy to learn about the fast track program the college offers, meaning I can get my masters degree in 5 years. My mother and I went on a tour and it checked all the boxes for me as an incoming Freshmen 2024. Thank you for opportunity. Raina Horton... Read 788 reviews

Sophomore: Overall, I did not have a bad experience at Coastal Alabama. The campus itself is pretty small but the school is also a community college in a very small town in Alabama. The good part about the school being kind of small is that you get pretty familiar with everyone. There are two sets of dorms and there are some dorm rules. Check in/ check out was never anyones favorite thing while staying in the dorms but it is doable. Campus police are also readily available to help students at all times throughout the day and night if needed. There are also plenty of resources to help register for classes and other things of that nature. There's also great teachers at Coastal Alabama Community college, as well as scholarships that can be applied for. Coastal also offers on campus jobs throughout the school year! One last thing is the cafeteria food. It actually pretty good!... Read 469 reviews

Alum: I really enjoyed my time at Wallace. I will say, it's not very fun if you don't get involved. Since it is a community college, there are not that many people who hang out on campus. Most of us just drive to class and drive home. However, there are lots of events on campus where you can meet people. The instructors are very nice and willing to help you in any way they can. All of my instructors I had remembered my name, which I thought was cool and was something I didn't expect. The tutoring lab is AMAZING. It's free and they will bend over backwards to help you. Overall, I feel like I am much more prepared to transfer to my university because of Wallace. I feel like I got a good, quality education that will form the basis for whatever I do from here on. If you're considering Wallace, go for it! They have TONS of scholarships, and I got my time at Wallace almost completely paid for. Two years of undergrad basically free! Just make sure you get involved!... Read 473 reviews

Other: I loved getting to take dual enrollment classes through Gadsden State! It gave me my college and high school credit. I am really close to getting my Associates degree because of it. They have been really helpful and great. The deadlines are all reasonable and they get my grades back quick! I get to check out a computer every semester for FREE so that I can do my work at home and school. Overall Gadsden State has been very helpful and I definitely recommend!... Read 388 reviews

Sophomore: I love attending Shelton state Community College. It is a very good school to get your basic classes before going off to a four year university. It has an arrangement of sports, such as men's and women's basketball, baseball, and cheerleading. Shelton State has two campuses one is called Martin campus which I attend and the other is called Fred campus. Shelton State offers degrees and certificates such as biology, nursing, forestry, cosmetology, theater, culinary arts, welding, and applied science. Shelton State has other classes and extracurricular activities one can take such as theater, band, art, aerobics, Spanish, and tai chai. Shelton State has a Chick-fil-A where one can eat. Offers arrangement of plays, hair shows, and band shows throughout the year and you can pay what you can for some of the theater plays. Shelton offers financial aid and scholarships such as the Phi theta kappa government organization. Shelton does not offer housing but one can stay in an apartment.... Read 404 reviews

Freshman: I absolutely love the students and most of the faculty and staff at Faulkner. The campus is nice and easy to get around. The freshman dorms are very nice and spacious. Being a smaller college, class sizes are smaller, and your instructors are available to help more often. Areas that could be improved are advisors ensuring that you are enrolling in the correct classes needed for your degree program and general communication, particularly to new students who do not know the routines. I look forward to the next three years at Faulkner.... Read 346 reviews

Graduate Student: Teachers were great people. At the time I was there (2013-2015), there weren't many degrees to choose from, especially if you were an art major, but I hear they've since added more programs. They don’t have a cafeteria as of yet to my understanding, but they have vending machines. The people I had tried talking to back in the day about helping me figure out the transfer process were not the most helpful, but I'm sure that's changed since then. Also, back then, I had no idea what Student Services was and what they did, and, apparently, they would've been a great resource. Hopefully they've since spread the word about it a bit more. They have an art festival once a year in April that's pretty neat to go to. Once, my film-maker friends had arranged to even do the first ever local film festival during that event, and that also went pretty well. The school is certainly open to opportunities to improve....
