I love UAB because you get to experience a world that is extremely diverse! While it is so different in many ways, you are able to bring your own uniqueness to UAB and become apart of their family. They encourage and accept all types of individuals in order to not only support the students attending the school, but support the future of the world. With UAB being able to accept and welcome such a diverse group of individuals it only benefits them more and continues to grow their success, because they learn from each other and grow with each other, making their goal to better society as one family.
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!
I first learned about the University of Alabama in Birmingham from my mom. She had graduated from there when I was in 1st grade and when we went to her graduation ceremony. I remember being so fascinated with the whole scenery/area. It was like I always knew that somehow this was the perfect choice of college for me. Anyway, I’m currently a senior in highschool that just got accepted for the Fall semester of UAB in 2019. I also recently visited the college around spring of this year. My experience was amazing. For example, I got to learn so much about the career I was planning to do, chat with the students that attend there to see their whole viewpoints, got to experience some of the classes space, view the dorms and take a tour around the college to see what’s around. Overall, it was just amazing. I really did enjoy my campus tour experience at UAB because now I am more educated and informed on what to expect when I attend as a freshman for next Fall semester.
