"The University is a great institution for furthering your education. The resources the University has exceeds many other Univeristies. The school is more than willing to accommodate to any educational services wanted. However, the cultural diversity is very low and limited. There are injustices that happen quiet often and get swept under the rug. The Greek system is very discriminatory, degrading, dangerous, and racist."

"The University of Alabama School of Music has been (and continues to be) a wonderful place of growth and maturation. The school offers many fields of study, including opera, performance degrees, quality music theory programs, and even music therapy. Because of the diverse nature of the programs offered, the School of Music is full of opportunities to grow and explore a number of potential secondary emphasis in addition to your main degree path. I highly recommend this program, not because of the size of the University or the name attached. I recommend it because the faculty, which strive to pursue and cultivate success in each and every student. The constant attention given by the faculty gives a very intimate approach to learning and gives great insight into the development of creating and sustaining a lasting career. The University of Alabama School of Music was my only choice for my Doctoral program and I hope it will be your choice too."

"The school is fairly large but has several smaller communities that make it feel like home. The campus is diverse. The academics are superior and there are many research opportunities. Of course, our athletics are a source of pride."

"Going to UA is a good experience. Depending on your major, and class level, the classes are medium in number of people. So, getting to know your professor is a good idea."

"The University of Alabama is a well-known and well-respected university. It also has a very large student body, so it may not be the best option for students who prefer personal connections to professors and advisors."

"UA combined the opportunities of the larger school (professors who are experts in their field, an expansive alumni network, academic resources) with the personalized attention you would find at a smaller school. The graduate program was thorough, challenging, and rewarding."

"It is best to come to UA as a freshman. That is the only year they offer merit scholarships and will allow you into the honors program. UA is improving the quality of its students every year, increasing its reputation as a respected regional power. Though I was a transfer and did not receive aid, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at UA. As a psych major I was able to get involved in research labs with well known psychologists. That combined with some excellent professors and classes really prepared me for grad school. As a big school, there are a million resources for students to take advantage of. I used the career center to edit my resume, and conduct Skype interviews with grad schools. Though I'm a northern girl and not the biggest fan of AL as a state, I still have to say UA is an excellent place to earn your education. It should not be underestimated."

"Great instructors and ample networking opportunities! I have learned so much not only on the subject but have also improved my networking and interviewing skills. The school provides tons of professional development opportunities and many career fairs and employer meetings. Professors are always more than willing to help."

"The MPA program at the University of Alabama was an excellent program to expand my knowledge on topics such as; Public Budgeting, Organizational Leadership, Public Policy, and Nonprofit Administration. If you have the desire to work in any level of Government or in a Nonprofit this is a great program. The classes are small and the professors are personable and always willing to answer questions. I only wished for more opportunities to network and acquire more aid in finding employment alongside my interests after graduation."

"The University of Alabama has an excellent scholarship program for high-achieving students. This was crucial for me in my future career, because I am now pursuing a Master's Degree, for which I will need to take out a lot of loans. Not having to take out loans for my undergraduate degree was extremely useful. Also, the organizations and people I met on campus have greatly helped me grow and develop as a person. I would highly recommend UA to any high school students looking for a productive, challenging education alongside exciting extracurricular activities."

"The University of Alabama is a great place to learn in order to be successful in the professional world. The availability of professors and the involvement of the career center are what I loved the most about UA. The professors are readily available whether by phone, email, or office hours. Gaining that relationship with different professors helps exponentially in the long run. The career center is great because they sit down with you for every step of the job search process. They go above and beyond to make sure you are ready to succeed post-graduation. The campus life is amazing and you can not forget about the amazing football team. The connections and networking opportunities really helped me to grow both personally and professionally. Overall I would suggest the University of Alabama to anyone who is thinking about attending."
