UAA-University of Academics and Athletics

Students have reason to be proud of the University of Alabama, to call it amazing, awesome, astounding, and awe-inspiring. It is a school full of tradition, teaching, learning, and discovering; students find that they are encouraged to ask questions, take part in research, and get involved with organizations on campus. All of these things make the college experience a positive one, after which students find professions that interest and support them. Academics at UA are one thing, but athletics put the school in a league of its own! Bama Football fans at UA are die-hard, and the Bryant-Denny Stadium becomes jam-packed with people during the games. When a school’s mascot is an elephant named Big Al, you know the team has gotta be good. In fact, UA just won the BCS national championship of football! Go Big Al!

UA—University of Apartments

The University of Alabama is located in Tuscaloosa, and in the fall, football mania pretty much rules the town. That being said, there is still much to do besides just thinking about the Big Al. There is shopping, art galleries, museums, bars and restaurants on the Strip, plenty of water sports, and outdoor activities like hiking and camping. Living off campus is a great way to get more involved in the community while getting some privacy that three roommates won’t allow; students often grow out of dorm life after freshman year, and 70% of upperclassmen choose to live off campus. Preston Place and the University Downs are popular renting spots because they are inexpensive. Other students rent by the Strip so they can be closer to campus—and the local bars and restaurants.
