Been there for 1 semester and while I am considering transfer it's not a terrible school by any stretch. Teachers are about average (no matter where you go to school, there will be good ones and bad ones) and it's nice having everything very close (never have to walk more than 10 minutes to class). The dining halls are about average I guess.

I guess the main issue I have is the social life here. Fraternities are insanely expensive (low-end is about $2,000 per semester) and as a result you have them just filled with stuck-up people. For both of those reasons, I did not join one, and so it has been quite a challenge trying to find a good time somewhere. What's more, the large student body COULD be a good thing, except the only sense of community we have is the football games, and even that could be a lot better than it is. There's really not much diversity here, either, at least not compared to my home in downriver Michigan. I mean at UA there are basically only 3 races: white, black, Asian. Plus, the different races do very little interacting and mingling together. I'm not saying this to be like "f--k the south" either, this is just what I have experienced.

If you are looking for a school to really have a good time and meet a lot of interesting people, UA is probably NOT the place for you. If you don't really care about that and just want to get yourself an education, then I guess it's pretty good.
