[quote=Anonymous]Our daughter is a freshman NMF at Alabama. Her experience so far has been overwhelmingly positive. She is a math and engineering student, sporty but not especially outgoing, and she is not involved in Greek life. Alabama has rolling admissions, so your daughter should hear right away. A 3.5 and 1360 will get her into the honors college. I would strongly recommend looking into one of the smaller programs within the honors college, like Witt Fellows, Blount Scholars, or Randall Research Scholars. Participating will introduce your daughter to a cohort of high-achieving students before she starts school, giving her a solid support network. The  honors dorms at Alabama are nice--not at the luxury-apartment level sometimes described here, but better than you'd expect for a freshman dorm. Registration can be a hassle, but the honors college gets registers first and I'm told that mitigates things after the first semester. The campus is lovely and the student body was by the far the happiest of any school we visited. The football games are supposed to be fun most years. The NMF package is exceedingly generous--a 5-year full ride (which covers graduate work, too)--and the school is serious about bringing in high-stats kids. Totally worth a visit, but you might talk to your recruiter about timing. [/quote]
