The University of West Alabama Reviews
Rating 3.8 out of 5 341 reviews
The application process for UWA was amazing! I was taken care of the entire process and constantly attended to via email and phone in case I had any questions. I like that classes are all online, they offer payment plans, and a discount on tuition because of my employer.
Currently I am an incoming freshman. Based on my orientation experience, I love the small town small community vibe. The school presents as a highly secure, accommodating, resourceful and caring environment and culture. Family involvement throughly monthly newsletters and activities were highlighted. Parents of incoming freshmen were given the opportunity to interview resource panel members and student ambassadors. I am excited to begin this journey.
I dp appreciate the instructors being so helpful because online learning can be very hard because you aren't physically in a classroom and able to ask for help. I do feel that they should make the scholarships available to online students as well because some people, like me don't have time to come to school everyday. Full time parents with full time jobs are just happy to be able to complete school, but the scholarship requirements only created another stone.
