This is probably one of the better schools in my state that offers the courses I need. That's the ONLY reason I chose it. That, and being FAR away from my parents at the north of the state.
The parking system is the literal worst, and I'm actually having to get married early just to escape parking tickets! Yes, my out to parking tickets? MARRIAGE.
This is due to the fact you can't have both commuter and resident parking passes at the same time. They won't let me cancel my housing contract (I moved out mid-semester) until I get MARRIED.
So, I'm going to. That way they'll change my residency in the system and let me get a damn commuter parking pass so I stop getting parking tickets for ATTENDING CLASS...
Also, the teachers have been either incredibly rude or completely ignorant about current events. We're in the midst of a worldwide pandemic, but they can't be bothered to cut students more slack about dates when they themselves are slacking.

I love USA! I came from a very small, local high school, so South's campus and classes have been both overwhelming and fantastic. The only drawbacks I've found have been how difficult it can be to find specific information, especially for first-time freshmen. They've handled the pandemic relatively well, requiring masks inside buildings and amply allowing for social distancing. I'm a commuter student, but it doesn't seem like living on campus would be worth your money in the same way it has been in years past.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my first semester at the University of South Alabama, the whole community has been kind and loving towards me. I feel very welcomed no matter where I go. Even in the classroom I feel like all of the teachers really take the time to get to know you. I could not have picked a better school for myself, and I am so glad that I was given the opportunity to study at this school!
