[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not just the healthcare. It’s the sororities too, the whole ethos. If you took the same girl and sent her to BU or anyplace else not in the South it is much more likely she would be launched on a successful career path. [/quote]

This poster has no idea. Try to visit, [b]it is eye-opening[/b]. The school is impressive and the [b]opportunities amazing[/b]. All kinds of kids, with an energetic and happy vibe, not angry or tense like many northern schools.  [/quote]
Curious to know what's eye-opening and about the amazing opportunities. Thanks. [/quote]

For DD, it was access to labs and research.  Alabama is a very wealthy R1 university and undergrads get great experience — DD is running her lab, reporting to the professor and is a TA.  Her name will be high up on a publication, she has presented at conferences and has a job offer.  Pre med, labs and clinical are easy to get — Alabama placed 100% of its pre med program in med school, many in top programs. The thing is, the Blount and Randall kids support each other and tell each other about labs and opportunities.  There’s no elbowing or backstabbing for these jobs like there is at other schools (eg Michigan).

If you are in even considering — visit.  I guarantee the naysayers have never been here.  I’m down here now for homecoming, and Alabama is not the predominant license plate.  I am still in awe at the energy and pride of this place.[/quote]
