REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingI am learning a great deal at the University of North Alabama. The instructors seem to genuinely care about your success in the classroom. I enjoy the fact that they take the extra time needed to make sure each student is reaching their full potential.
Madison from Slocomb, AL
The University of North Alabama is a great college to attend. The campus is easy to navigate and the faculty, staff, and other students are helpful and friendly individuals. The University offers a large array of classes and majors as well as a variety of experiences that are essential to the college student.
Lindsay from Lawrenceburg, TN
Great professors that genuinely care about your success in their classes. (And they know your name!) Free tutors available to fit around your schedule.
From Atlanta, GA
The classrooms are small, so that means that you may be able to get more assistance from your teacher. I can't be curtain because I have not had the chance to sit in a classroom while a teacher was lecturing.
Monica from Huntsville, AL
UNA is absolutely amazing and I love it here. The town surrounding it is great and filled with little places to visit like Trobridges. The campus is also great.
Sierra from Oxford, AL
Ask around about the classes and teachers or check out ratemyprofessor.com before you sign up for them.
UNA is a great place to live and to go to school. It's small enough to walk across the campus but large enough where you have the opportunity to meet someone new every day. If you're looking for a place to go to college you should check out the University of North Alabama!
Ellen from Pinson, AL
UNA is a great school with high-standard academics and a close-knit student community. The campus and Florence area is beautiful place to live, and the area offers loads of entertainment.

I got the chance to attend Preview day last year. I was highly impressed by the way I was treated by the professors and students. I really liked it.
Lindsey from Southside, AL
UNA is perfect for any student wanting to go to a university but still go to a close and tight-knit school. UNA isn't too big and isn't too small. Everyone is friendly and the classes are small enough to get to know your peers.
