I really like the diversity in my school. I feel less out of place when I am surrounded by different types of people. UAB also always makes an effort to cater to students with disabilities and setbacks that affect education. UAB has so many programs that offer financial, mental, physical, and educational accommodations and support. My dorm is very pleasant and has such rooms in each floor. But almost every building also has ample study space and interesting interior environments.
Also, there great food here. THERE SO MANY RESTAURANTS! And even the cafeteria has alleviating events and special meal selections. With the school being in downtown Birmingham, there plenty to eat on and off campus.
I really appreciate UAB's diversity and the community here. There a niche for everyone and so much to get involved in. Even for free!
But what is appreciate most is UAB'S response to COVID-19. The school was super organized and made me feel safe. Everyone played a part.

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.
I told most classes almost completely online, and I enjoyed it. I could enjoy the campus' socially distanced study areas instead of traditional classrooms, and teachers were understanding when I had COVID related setbacks. Overall, I think I like the online experience more than the in person one!
