Review of University of South Alabama

from Tuscaloosa, Alabama

Describe your college in three sentences.

The University of South Alabama is a university of excellence! I love the University of South Alabama because of its home-like atmosphere, friendly faces, and superb academics. It is a great place to study, live, and soar.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Be involved on campus! Find an organization that you are interested in that has to so with your major or interests in order to connect with people socially and academically.

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

Academics on campus is hardcore; however, they want you to learn and succeed.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

I like the dorm life on campus. I have been able to connect with people through residential life. The residence halls are not bad at all.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Campus dining is pretty good. The Fresh Food Dining Hall is great on most days; however, if you are disappointed, the campus offers Starbucks, Chick-Fil-A, Burger Studio, Pizza Hut Express, and other dining establishments to fit your needs. Plus not too far from other eateries off campus (some are within comfortable walking distances or short drive).

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

Plenty of on campus activities going on throughout the week to attend and be a part of. In addition, Mobile has some pretty great events going on.

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

Definitely a best bang for your buck on education and activities. South Alabama has great facilities, events, and more that help with the college experience. The best overall bang for your buck in the college search.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Junk the Jungle is a tradition that students started to get a football team on campus. Since then, it has been a tradition to roll the traffic circle during homecoming week.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

USA has an array of clubs, organizations, and activities. If they do not have it, it can be started. I have found many organizations, activities, and clubs to be active in since I arrived on campus.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Greek Life at South Alabama is flourishing. It is something I would recommend a student find out more information about getting involved in Greek Life.

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

I feel safe on campus despite the fact that we have an open campus; however, things can happen like at any other University. Nothing too bad has happened that I am aware of, but crime rates on campus have gone done in the recent years.
