Pick Your Profs Carefully
Do your research when picking classes. Like any school, your prof can make or break a class. Most freshman classes such as Psychology or Chemistry 101 can have upwards of 200 students, but most professors are glad to make time outside of class for students. Once you're past the introductory classes, there are rarely more than 75 students in a lecture class and classes within your major are even smaller. UA even offers a few online courses which can make finding study time more convenient.

Bryant Is the Best.
Bama has four dining halls- Bryant, Lakeside, Fresh Foods, and Burke. Bryant and Fresh Foods are only open for lunch and are the two best with Bryant reigning supreme. Their food is always good and they have larger portion sizes than the other halls since it's where the athletes eat. Burke is hit and miss and Lakeside seems to have a lot of variety at first until you figure out that all of their offerings run on a two week rotation. You can also use your $300 Dining Dollars for the food courts in Lloyd and the Ferg which have Burger King, Chik fil A, Pizza Hut, Boar's Head, and even a sushi place. There's also small supermarkets at Tut and Lakeside.

Just Be Discreet.
the UAPD is more concerned with keeping everyone safe than trying to make as many arrests as possible. But be warned that the UAPD sends anyone who has been arrested to the Tuscaloosa jail. Don't do anything stupid in public. Also, don't park anywhere outside your parking zone before 6 PM or on weekends. You will get a ticket within 15 minutes.

Bring Your Car.
There's parking near every dorm, but availability of it varies. Colored parking zones based on residence or if you're a commuter help keep different parts of campus from getting clogged up. Almost all upperclassmen live off campus and the commuter lots are pretty far from central campus, so the bus is a necessity.
