University of Alabama students constantly brag about their school’s traditions and spirit, and their pride is shown throughout the town. Some say it’s the incredible education that drew them here, and others say it’s Bama football that brought them to this Southern school. But no matter what reason these students choose to come to UA, most believe it was the best choice they could have made.
After graduation, some students get a job, some further their education by going to UA’s grad school, and some even go to UA’s law school. No matter what the students decide to do with their future, they believe Bama has prepared them for it. Students advise upcoming freshmen to walk around the Quad, visit the Strip, or watch a football game to understand why so many love UA.

Safety
Campus has never seem unsafe to me. All dorms doesn't allow random people to come in unless they have an ACT card. And there are blue emergency call poles where you can quickly call for help if something was wrong. Not to mention there's campus security everywhere.

UA Life
The city of Tuscaloosa is a very busy city and have a lot of things to do. There is this place right down from campus called The Strip where a lot of food place to choose from, a grocery store, and many stores that sell UA paraphernalia.
Academics
The school offers just about any major that you want and they even have this program called new college where you can create your own major. The teachers I have had so far are very nice and willing to help you when they can. Some class require you to do a lot of work where some are very easy. The best study area to me is Gorgas Library.

College Prowler guides are in the hands of students throughout the entire process. Because you can't make student-written guides without the students, we have students at each campus who write, edit, and survey their peers for every guide that we publish.
