[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree 100% with this prior post. The generous scholarship options based on GPA and test scores are what got us to consider it and the campus tour sold us. Honors students are impressive. Love that my son has grad school effectively paid for from undergrad savings. His roommates - first AND second year - are 70% from Northern states (first year was randomly assigned). Just go visit - we were not expecting to like it and both my husband and I (who are not big sports fans) loved it and DS is science major and completely thriving

Prior Post:
The knee-jerk reactions in this thread are not accurate. Unlikely that one will hear racist talk of any kind at any time while on campus.

FACT: The majority of students at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa are not residents of Alabama.

U Alabama's Honors College offers students a solid education.

The Alabama beaches are gorgeous & welcoming. For decades, U Alabama's largest alumni group is based in NYC.[/quote]

The beaches are 3.5 hours away.  I don’t get why that is brought up.  The Hamptons are only like 50 miles from Columbia and are incredible, but that’s not a reason to pick Columbia.[/quote]

It’s not unusual for kids attending Bama to go to the beach in AL or the FL panhandle—or have Greek events in New Orleans, Nashville, and beyond. I believe the senior trip was to Vegas. These kids are social and adept at networking, and the parents and alumnae groups are invested in helping students get good jobs or get into grad school.

I don’t hear anything comparable when I compare notes with other parents. [/quote]
