The University of Alabama at Birmingham is a great college! I am a freshman here, and have just finished my first semester. I couldn't have expected a better experience! UAB offers many programs and organizations to help you switch from a high school setting to a college setting. Although the two are very different, you don't have to be nervous! UAB makes sure you are enjoying your new college life.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I love being here at UAB. There are many activities to keep me involved in, such as sports, games, club activities, volunteering opportunities, church organizations, and weekly weekend outdoor pursuit trips. The dorms also hold events almost everynight. You are never bored at UAB. There is always something going on!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
College can be expensive, no matter where you go. UAB is definitely worth your time and money though. UAB offers tons of scholarships and financial aid to help keep the costs down! So, you are sure to be able to afford it.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
The most important thing I learned from my first semester is to get involved! Attend meetings, club organizations, and games. Getting involved will help you meet new people as well as become more aware about things happening on campus. They also look great on your resume! (Oh, and at all the events, there is usually free food and tshirts! I've gotten almost fifteen shirts since I have been here, and haven't had to buy any of them! That's always a great bonus.)
Which types of students will excel at your college?
UAB has always been known for its wonderful Medical School. However, it is now also an Art school as well. Therefore, UAB is great for all majors! Another great thing about UAB, is that we are ranked number THREE in the country for diversity. UAB has so much to offer, and you will love it here!
