Alabama was my last-choice college because I was set on an Ivy League-level school, but I’m so happy I chose to go here! Nothing beats not having to pay for my education and graduating without debt. My professors have been great (for the most part), and I’m pretty happy with my overall academic experience.
Green life is pretty big here and dominates things like SGA and some broader aspects of student life. I’m not one to join a sorority because of their strict rules and unappealing culture, but I haven’t struggled to make friends without it. There are over 500 clubs and organizations to get plugged into that will certainly help you get to know other people!
My most negative experience were the dorms last year. I paid $1,100/month for a tiny bedroom, shared bathroom, living room, and a kitchenette with no stove or oven. This year, I’m only paying $550/month to have my own bed and bath off-campus in a house with my friends. Like every college, they really rip you off freshman year.

The University of Alabama is amazing! I am enrolled in the Culverhouse college of business and I am going on my junior year. The university provides many resources such as tutors, study rooms, career fairs, and much more. The professors are very passionate about their jobs and do want to see you succeed. I am an out-of-state student and I have never felt out of place or excluded. There are students from all different places, backgrounds, and ethnicities, and overall a very diverse student body. I have toured and visited over 25 schools across the nation and nothing compares. The amenities and resources provided are endless and beyond your imagination. The school spirit is simply unmatchable, there is nothing like a Saturday night in Bryant Denny Stadium. If you are considering The University of Alabama, I recommend visiting to see if it is for you. Although, I only visited once before committing, and know many who never visited and have also never once regretted their decision.
As a new student, the welcoming environment, along with the polished and professional attitude that faculty and students carry themselves with have made my experience thus far nothing short of special. Being an out of state student, I wasn't sure how I would adjust to life so far away from home, but the style and homey feel of campus have made the transition a breeze! I would recommend the University of Alabama to any student who is ok with being a part of a massive student body. I can't wait to finish my education at the University of Alabama! Roll Tide!
