Coming from a different high school system in Washington DC, UAB has reinforced many of the things I have learned in high school. The curriculum is tailored to your specific major, and the professors are great overall!
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Although UAB is not categorized as a party school, there are plenty of things to do. Whether it's a boys or girls sports event, to dorm sponsored socials or comedy shows, you shouldn't get bored! If you have a car it's an added bonus because you can go off campus to other events.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
At UAB you get world class education for a fraction of the price of other major research institutions. Especially if you are an in-state student, its a great investment in education. The dorms are moderately priced, although the meal plans are a bit on the expensive side and there is a dining fee in the form of dining dollars.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Apply Early!
If you come from a long distance, make friends on face book beforehand! There are others just like you!
Be prepared to work!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
UAB is a great school for all those interested in medicine, engineering, nursing, or medical technology. However the art department is expanding. There is even a build-your-own major program, so there is something for everyone.
