Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University is a great HBCU to attend. This institution is very diverse with students coming from all around the world. You will meet a ton of great people here.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Come to college with an open mind and remeber the reason why you came to college. A lot of students forget their priorites/ set them to the side, and end up not doing well at this institution. Always have a buddy with you after the sun goes down and make sure you do not get into the car with someone you do not know.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The work is not hard at all. Instructors here will try their best to help out, and if you don't understand what is being taught, A&M offfers tutors available in every subject. You just have to make sure that you are dedicated to the work. As soon as you get an assignment, try to complete it as soon as possible. It is so easy to put it off and then you forget about the assignment which puts you in a hole.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorms arre okay. The best two dorms on campus are Knight and Foster. They both have dining halls in them. All dorms on campus are either all female or all male and all of the female dorms are located on one side of the campus while the male dorms are on the opposite side of the campus. There is visitation where the opposite gender can visit up until a certain hour, but it is almost always taken away. The rooms in the traditional dorms are smaller than other school's traditional dorms. The suite-style dorms are four to a suite (two to a room w/ a bathroom in each room) with a common area. There are no toasters, coffee pots, nor hot plates allowed. The only appliances the suties come with are a microwave and a refrigerator that is shared among the four persons living in the suite.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food is okay. It is not the best but it is not the worst. The best meal is breakfast. Lunch is okay and dinner is okay. There is a salad bar, a deli station, a pizza station, a grill station (hamburgers, fries, chicken sandwiches, etc.), and a zone station (home cooked meals). There is also a fast food resturant ran by the school, The Greasy Spoon 2, which sells wings, burgers, fries, and hot dogs. Their food is pretty good but a bit greasy.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There is nothing within walking distance of the campus to do, so it would really be a great idea to bring a car. Most students usually hang out on the quad. Welcome Week, Homecoming week, and ESW (Every Sunny Wednesday) are all fun. The football games are fun as well.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Studying at this institution is really worth the time and the money. Faculty and staff make sure that you are prepared for jobs after graduation. There are so many insternships and co-op opportunties available (especially for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics majors).
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
There is the Block where all of the Greek stones are. There is the founding president and his wife's grave located on the campus. There is also the Magic City Classic, which is held in Birmingham, Alabama the fourth weekend in October against the rival school, Alabama State University. This is the biggest HBCU game of the season.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Alabama A&M is great for Agricultural, Food Science, Engineering, Science, Technology, and Mathematics majors. There are so many opportunities available for these disciplines.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are a lot of Student Organizations present at this university. Anything you can think of, we have it. If there is an organization that you woud like to create, you can fill out the paper work to become a Registered Student Organization.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
The Divine 9 is present on campus plus a lot of social fraternities.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Our campus security are all certified police officers for Madison County. They try their best to protect the students by any means. The only ththe campus thing I dont like about the safety of the campus is that anyone can walk into the dorms.
