I'm currently a student, majoring in journalism, at the University of Alabama. I would have to say I'm very happy with my decision, despite turning down full scholarships to Ole Miss and Tennessee. Several attributes attracted me to Alabama: atheletics, academics and gentility.
Alabama is a school full of tradition. The University boasts 15 national debate team championships, 12 national football championships, 4 national gymnastics championships and other numerous awards. It consistently ranks high on several USA Today lists.
Overall, the University allows you to gain experience in your respected field, something I think a lot of universities miss the boat on. I made friends easily and there's always something to do on campus.
The cons of the campus would mostly be from "The Master Plan." The president, Robert Witt, has introduced a plan to increase enrollment to 28,000. This has led to congestion on campus and lack of space. While the University is in transition, the goals of the plan are extraordinary. Among the goals include: transforming the University to a walking campus (no cars), adding a successful transit system and improving the university academically. I think the plan is working, but the transition is tough for current students.
If I had to choose between another campus and this one, i would definitely choose this one. It's friendly. It allows you to excel in your field. It allows you to grow as a person. |
