The University of Alabama

This college is great for hands-on experience and in class learning. The teachers really care and are very knowledgeable in the area they teach. I have been able to take advantage of my teachers' office hours and really get to know them. I learned that they care about the progress their students make and how they are enjoying college. It is not simply about book smarts, teachers teach professional skills and life lessons. My first-year experience was so amazing, I would not have spent it anywhere else, because despite everything I learned so much and I am better because of it!

Professors at Alabama are top-notch. Lecture classes of 100 people may be intimidating but the professors and graduate assistants alleviate the nerves by teaching the subjects well and by making themselves available when students need assistance. There is a wide variety of courses offered here at the Capstone and each one is very interesting. As cliche as it may sound, I really do learn something new every day.

At The University of Alabama excelling in learning is a part of our motto. Whether a student is taking Theatre or Human Development classes they are sure to learn something that will not only help them in class but as well as out of class.

Coming to college you are expected to learned. Coming to the University of Alabama you love to learn. I never really wanted to learn but each teacher here has their own way of making it very interesting and fun to learn. Each teacher loves what they do and enjoys the subject themselves and they want you to see it to.

The atmosphere here is great and loving. Everyone is accepting and makes you feel at home. Whenever you need a break from work you can always count on a good time following a football game or just a party.

The learning experience at UA is very thorough. You not only receive top of the line instruction from your teachers, but you also learn from peers through countless group assignments. The assignments encourage students to break out of their shell and not reach their own full potential, but also help their peers reach theirs as well.

I'm a senior, and looking back, I've had a great experience. I've been able to be involved in many more opportunities than I would have gotten at my state's flagship school, or any other 'name' school for that matter. UA is becoming much more well known, and more than 50% of its students are from out of state.

I think my courseload is exactly what I signed myself up for. I'm challenged in my classes, which is what every student needs. My professors make learning the material interesting, and even fun!

The academics are challenging and keep you thinking. Football and traditions here are important. Roll Tide.

I am a Biology major with a French minor on the Pre-Medical track. If you are planning on majoring in anything science prepare for a demanding road. My Chemistry 101 class took over my life but because I love the sciences, I found everything interesting. I learned so much and the teachers really want to help you but you have to work for a good grade. My teacher was Joseph Thrasher and he is a tenure chemistry teacher here with amazing accreditations but he is teaches a difficult class. If you don't mind staying up every night to learn the information he doesn't teach in class but has on the test, I would recommend a different teacher. My French teacher was Prof. ReMine who is a good-natured young lady who I think I can say is a friend of mine. She had no problem reiterating her point for any student who didn't understand something and she wrote me a great recommendation for an organization I was really interested in.
Basically, the teachers care so much about the students but the sciences will run you through the mill to get you ready for your intended career. We also have a great Business school and Education school along with our Nursing and natural sciences.
