UAB really cares about their students! I know at many universities you hear about how awful the advisers are, but all of the advisers here are extremely helpful, whether it's to talk about your own major or switching to another. There are also numerous cultural events throughout the school year, which give you the opportunity to learn about many different cultures and lifestyles. In addition, if you become part of the Honors College, they have three specialized pathways, along with a Personalized Pathway, the Global and Community Leadership Pathway, Science and Technology Pathway, and University Honors Program. These different pathways allow you to take additional and personalized classes based on what you're passionate about. Through the Global and Community Leadership Pathway, I realized what I wanted to do with my life and also educate myself my on numerous social justice issues.
My future seems so much brighter since I transferred to UAB! My adviser has been so friendly and helpful! Opportunities are endless and the road to success is so much more clear. As an Education major I can appreciate the diversity in the classrooms and amongst the staff. Many people are intimidated by the college being located in a very urban fast-paced city, but UAB still has that southern at home feel! I have yet to come across a classmate who is unsatisfied with his/her experience. Everyone is pretty much guaranteed a career in their field upon graduation, thanks to the Career Dept. I value my education even more because of UAB and I thank God for an opportunity to labor aside young intelligent men and women!
More support for athletics! UAB is a great school if you are looking for a traditional campus setting placed in an urban environment. The city offers many opportunities for employment, night life, parks, and concerts. Birmingham is getting a brand new stadium downtown which will be home to the UAB Blazer football team. The city is always expanding and evolving, it is a great place to go to college.
