Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

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.

Bama on Safety

Bama's campus is generally very safe. It's a small area and is very well lit.

Bama at Night

The main two areas to go out in Tuscaloosa are student areas and they are relatively small. Everything is within walking distance. There are plenty of police around so its pretty safe. There can just be some race discrimination at certain places sometimes.

Ehh

There are alot of people of different races on this campus, of course the majority are caucasian but there are no real problems dealing with racial issues. Racial issues are somewhat present in the greek system due to the white greeks and black greeks ignoring each others presence, but that is a small community of a very large school.
