Review of University of Montevallo

from Birmingham, AL

Describe your college in three sentences.

A well structured school with a beautiful Campus. It focus mainly on the arts, but has wonderful Business and Sciences programs, along with a new Game Studies minor. Great place where nothing is really out of place.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

As long as you study, you will enjoy this school. Everyone is friendly, and all it takes is you introducing yourself to have friends for a lifetime.

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

Grades are a big focus, and this is definitely not a party school, though we do have fun.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

People in the dorms are the type to invite you over for a movie. Don't be afraid to introduce yourself! The RA's are really cool too, in the majority.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Naturally there will be the grease soaked something, but overall everything is great.

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

Hang out in the game room, or visit on of the many club on campus like the anime Club, the Enviromental Club, or the Montevallo Organization of Gaming (MoG). Then there's always just hanging out with friends or outside the caf chatting it up. Never a dull moment at Montevallo, that's for sure.

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

Some of the the dorms are better than others, depending on how well the students have treated the buildings. Not to say that they aren't clean, but places like Napier may seem pretty bad because most of the guys aren't big on cleaning up after themselves.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

College Night, the oldest running homecoming tradition in the state (and maybe the US) is a yearly contest between students of opposing school colors, gold and purple, and they each write their own plays and perform them. We are also located in the center of the state of Alabama, with a star on the steps of Main Hall marking the point.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Anyone, unless you want to go to college just to party

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

See previous statements

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Wouldn't know about that. Avoid them like the plague.

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

Very, very low crime rates. Always one bad apple in every bunch.
