Review of The University of West Alabama

from Saraland, AL

Describe your college in three sentences.

The teachers here have an actual personality and care about their students. Any time you have a problem or question the staff in the office listen and direct you to where you need to go. The atmosphere on campus is amazing; with ponds, lakes, and a few nature walks the atmosphere on campus is relaxing and in general just perfect.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

A tour of the campus is essential for anyone on the fence about the school. If you don't feel at home after the relaxing nature walk and with the small town community feel around the campus then the college isn't for you.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Academically classes aren't too challenging. All classes are tough but the classes here aren't too terribly hard because the teachers do welcome questions and always have their office doors open.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

My first year in a dorm I was nervous about having a room mate and worried about being away from home. BUT the hall directors and resident assistants

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The cafeteria is somewhere everyone can go to hangout, relax, and have a bite to eat. The procedure to get in is simple. Scan your I.D. at the front desk and grab a plate to get your food. A large variety and no limits make finding something good easy.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

There is a fitness center that you can work out at. Inside the fitness center there are pool tables and a foosball table. And there is always some kind of event on campus to go to, whether it's a football game or a concert party you will have no trouble finding something to do.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

I feel that you get a lot for what you pay for. In addition to great classes and awesome teachers, your student I.D. doubles as monetary system that works at certain locations around town. The Tiger Bucks system is basically a re-loadable card (Your I.D.) that starts with a free $100 on it. once you run out you can put more money on it. Your Tiger Bucks do not subtract from your meal plan!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Many sororities and fraternities to choose from if you are interested.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

In addition to Livingston police officers, there are campus security officers patrolling everywhere 24/7.
