The small class size at UAH gives students the opportunity to interact with teachers as well as other students in a growing environment. Not only does the university provide a completely free tutoring program for nearly every class offered, but there are also online tutoring sessions for those with busy lifestyles.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
On campus life is quiet on the weekends as most students live close enough to travel home. However, don't think that there is nothing to do, North Alabama provides some of the best mountain biking, trail running, disc golf, and hiking in the state. The university itself is also within 5 minutes of Downtown Huntsville, Research Park, and The U.S. Space and Rocket Center.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The current president of UAH, Dave Williams, has a goal to increase the enrolled students by roughly 1500 in the next year. This is causing tuition rates to rise, meal plans to be mandatory, and on-campus housing for both freshman and sophomores to be mandatory as well. While these alterations are pushing some students away, others are looking past the current changes as hope for future students at the university. With the completion of the new dormitory in the Fall of 2010, on campus living is becoming safer, easier, and more fun.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
One main thing to keep in mind when attending this university is the career field you plan on entering. The Huntsville area is number one in the South for aerodynamics and space engineering. The opportunity to get co-ops and internships as an engineer, biologist, teacher, or mathematician are extremely high as the university is so close to the second largest research park in the nation.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students that plan on getting a great education, enjoying the beautiful surrounding locations, and are looking for a bright future will excel at UAH.
