Most teachers I’ve encountered are excellent. There are, however, a few teachers I wish I had never encountered. The classes seem interesting based on the skill and likeability of the teacher.

Overall Experience

Alabama - Tuscaloosa, AL

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.
