The University of Alabama is mainly known for its successful sports programs. Our football team has 15 National Championships under their belt, and our Gymnastics, Golf, and Wheelchair Basketball teams are all exceptionall successful, as well. Our school is also known for our large Greek system, as our campus has over 18 sororities and several fraternities. Over 2,000 incoming freshmen women take part in formal recruitment last year, making our Rush the largest in the nation.

Jeffrey

The University of Alabama is quite honestly best known for its athletics program. The Crimson Tide is dominant not only in college football, but also in our other sports programs (gymnastics, softball, baseball, basketball, golf, etc.). However, the academics of this University are often outshadowed by our much more publicized athletics. The University has top national programs in multiple academic areas, such as a law, business, engineering, and the sciences. If people were to do research, I think they would be very surprised how excellent Alabama really is.

Aaron

The University of Alabama is a very big sports school. With winning our fourteenth national football title this year, we generate a lot of attention to football and our other highly ranked sports teams. The gymnastics team won the championship last year, the basketball team progressed deep into the NIV tournament, softball was ranked in the top 10, and our baseball team recieves alot of attention. The football team, however, is what the university is built upon. Beating rival Auburn is a must at my school. And winning championships. And I'd say we do both pretty well. Roll Tide.

Football. One word describes what comes to almost everyone's mind when they think of UA. But there are many other things that the campus can boast about.

My school is best known for it's football team. During football season at my school alumni, fans, and students all camp out on an area of the campus called the "quad," and have cook outs/tail gates until the game starts. People from all over the United States come to the football games and the team spirit is incredible. Although the team has lost its winning legacy over the past few years, fans stil remain as loyal as ever and continue to pay OUTRAGEOUS prices to get one of the "in high demand" tickets.
