Well I was a transfer student from Coastal Alabama. I’ve been wanted to attend UAB since high school, but my ACT scores were not acceptable. So I decided to go to a community college, at first, then transfer. Well two years later, I was accepted in Fall 2017. I love the diversity at UAB. The teachers are very helpful and friendly. The students are very fun to hang out with. There’s always something to do at UAB whether it’s a basketball, football, soccer game or maybe go for a swim in our indoor lazy river! But overall, my experience at UAB is excellent!
The University of Alabama in Birmingham has a beautiful campus and wonderful food options available! There is not a thing I would change about the University of Alabama in Birmingham! The University has a very safe and inviting campus as well as a vibrant student life. All of the student organizations are very welcoming to all new students and try to get them involved. The whole University is devoted towards academics and promotes good grades by providing important resources for the student body.
I am currently a student and enjoy the atmosphere and the education of UAB. I love how close to all the hospitals it is and I have so many opportunities for volunteering along with that. I am involved in Greek life which I would highly recommend! Over all, it is difficult and requires a lot of work to succeed but is very worth it in the end.
