I'm currently a freshman at the University of South Alabama, so I haven't experienced a lot. The activities the school host aren't too bad they just have to do better job at telling us events are happening ahead of time instead of the day of to get more people out. The campus is nice. Everyday there will be people keeping the campus nice. Housing is really nice. There aren't any community bathrooms which is a plus! There isn't really a lot of things to do here, but the best thing they have is the beaches are around an hour away and really good food places. Our athletics are doing better than previous years which is amazing and that makes a lot of attend athletic events.
South Alabama isn’t a bad place to go to school. The classes are smaller so you can get more one on one learning time, and a lot of the professors are willing to help you! The freshman dorms are nice, unless you live in epsilon which is infested with roaches. The dining hall is pretty terrible, as their food is always dry and tasteless, and the workers their are terribly rude. Overall though South Alabama isn’t a terrible place, especially if you’re going there for nursing, which I heard is an amazing program!
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.
