Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
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!
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I live in a suite style dorm, and I think it was definitely worth the price. I live with three other girls, but we each have our own room, with a door that locks. The suite is like a baby apartment, complete with living room and kitchenette. The highlight of this style of dorm in definitely the having your own room. You can study all night without the worry of keeping up a roommate, or you can go to sleep early and not have to worry about being kept up.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
As a freshman, I'm on the unlimited meal plan. I'm trying to stay away from the Freshman 15, which seems to be impossible with an all you can eat dining hall package. The benefit is, however, that you can get whatever you want. Whether you want to sit down for a full meal or are just looking for a snack, that's possible here on campus.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
GAME DAY!
I'm from the north, so football game day is an amazing experience. The Crimson Tide is such a great football team to support. All of Tuscaloosa seems to be buzzing on gameday, it's a sea of crimson and white. It's a 'must see for yourself' type of experience.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
At the Tuscaloosa Metro Animal Shelter they do puppy happy hour. You can take out a dog from the animal shelter for the day (within the time constraints) for FREE!
You need to have a car or know someone with a car to be able to get there. Definitely worth the 10 minute drive of campus!
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
My roommate is a part of Greek life here on campus. She loves it so so much. She's quite the social butterfly, she's constantly talking to people and trying to make new friends. Greek life is HUGE here. It wasn't something I specifically wanted to do, but it's a great option for many!
