Attended the University for both undergraduate and law school. I joined a fraternity and had a spectacular time while receiving a great education. Years later, I sent my son there for his education. Oh, and the football. I was there for 2 national championships. My son also was there for 2 as well.

The campus is huge, beautiful, and full of history! The restaurants on and nearby campus are fabulous as well. They provide a top notch education with an amazing atmosphere. Class size varies depending on your course, but the professors are very helpful at least in all of my experiences. My huband, dad, 2 brothers, sister-in-law, and myself are all alumni. I highly recommend this University!

Took my son to his first Alabama football game. Will suggest to anyone going to the game the charter bus they have coming from the University Mall is the only way to travel to Bryant-Denny Stadium. The game was awesome people were super friendly no matter what the fan base beautiful campus. Will be returning one day for another game.

Tuscaloosa, Alabama is my home. I was born and raised in Tuscaloosa. Most if my family still lives there. When I was in High School, I played drums at Central High School and band members were allowed to sell cokes at all of Bama's home games. I was selling cokes in the early to mid 80's when Bear Bryant was still coaching. Proud to say I am a lifetime fan of Alabama and especially what Nick Saban has been able to accomplish over the last 11 years. Roll Tide...

My best decision was to come to UA! What an amazing institution of higher learning The Capstone is! So many more groundbreaking and amazing things to come. Unfortunately due to stereotypes and media bias many people don't realize what a special place this really is. Sure, it has it's social and ethical issues. What university doesn't? The University has achieved and progressed so much since the "Stand in the School House Door". Those accomplishments in themselves reveal the true character, drive, passion, and love the UA family has flowing through its Crimson blood.

Attended the LSU game this weekend.....great college football atmosphere. Tailgating and game day activities were everywhere. Parking was difficult but the busses make it a bit easier to get to the stadium. Security was very tight and the Secret Service cleared everyone entering the stadium.

Best University in the state and only growing. Go to Auburn, you'll be surrounded by a bunch of pretentious delusional hicks who live in a perpetual state of mind that they are morally superior than everyone else, yet the whole world laughs at them because they have the biggest little brother syndrome of any fan base. Go to the University of Alabama, you not only get to enjoy the beauty of the campus and the great social life, but get good quality education to help pursue your goals in life.

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.
