My undergrad experience at the University of Alabama was generally good. They offered a good variety of majors and programs for students to select. The school spirit and extracurricular activities were also good. The Greek (sororities and fraternities) system does have a chokehold on the politics and social culture, and I believe the University should definitely implement changes to make student elections more fair and representative of the student body as a whole instead of representing a small,...

I am forever grateful to the University of Alabama due to the opportunities offered to students, the curriculum, and the people I have connected with along the way. Compared to other universities, UA offers a vast number of degrees and research opportunities as an R1 school. I have been able to be a part of many leadership societies and develop my professionalism to stand out in grad school and to employers. The courses are great at teaching content and justifying societal concepts we know and expereince... Read More everyday.

My overall experience at the University of Alabama was really incredible, and a time in my life I'll forever cherish. The four years I attended were years full of new friendships, Alabama football, life changes, and getting an education from one of the best schools in the SEC. I was so grateful to have professors that really challenged me in the classroom--to redefine what was possible. I found a love for sports marketing and had the opportunity to intern for the sports marketing team, where I helped... Read More with in-game promotions with various sports. They say college is the best time in your life, and while I don't believe it's the BEST time in your entire life, they are 4 years that will shape you, and years that you'll always remember. Forever grateful for my alma mater. Roll Tide!

Had a great time studying at the University of Alabama. I like how walkable the campus was (although some classes you would definitely need a bike to get to on time if they were on the opposite side of campus!) and I felt it was quite easy to make friends regardless of if you're involved in Greek life or not. I felt my professors were very knowledgeable and were easy to talk to if I ever needed help (e.g., needed extra time for an assignment or was not understanding a subject as well as I could have)....

I'd be lying if I said I didn't hate my school when I first got there. I quickly realized how much of a homebody I really was, it was a massive culture shock for me since I moved to Tuscaloosa all the way from Pennsylvania. After a few months, I realized that the only person holding me back, was myself, and it opened so many doors for me. I started taking full advantage of my opportunities, got involved with the many on-campus organizations, excelled in my classwork, joined Greek life, and made the... Read More absolute most of my experience. I will say, I waited a year to join Greek life and it did make me feel somewhat isolated. Among the first set of questions people would ask upon meeting you was "What sorority/fraternity are you in?", and when I would say none, people definitely gave me weird looks. It was almost like a rite of passage there, like you had to wear letters to "be somebody". Joining the shuffle my sophomore year is never something I would regret. I truly did meet my best friends for life, came out of my shell and found my outgoing side, and it forced me to stay motivated with my schoolwork so I could attend functions, be part of recruitment, all that good stuff. I made endless connections. The best part of my school wasn't the football games (though incredible), and it wasn't the massive sorority houses. It was that people came to UA from all over the world and brought with them so much to learn. You could join a club under nearly any topic of interest. I also did enjoy my academic experience, though it didn't hold a candle to what I'm sure the fashion programs are like at a school like the Fashion Institute of Technology or LIM. However, the best thing about my program was that you had to have an internship to graduate. This was the absolute best kickstart to my career, I had so much support in finding the right path for me, even amid the global pandemic when absolutely nothing was going according to plan for anybody. Overall, I absolutely adored my experience at Alabama and it shaped me into who I am today. I will forever go down to Tuscaloosa for games every season, teach my kids what I learned there, and involve them in the culture. It created such a lasting impact for me in every way and I'm so grateful for my time there, even though it was one of the hardest things I've ever done. Take the leap, it's worth it. Change isn't meant to be comfortable or easy.
