I brag most about the diversity on campus. With so many chances to get involved in an urban enviroment is a different experience than what most. I enjoy having a chance to meet so many different from different walks of life, who share different experiences, and sharing what you can with each and every person. I brag too much about my campus and being able to make the most out of the college experience that I can.

Jessica

At the University of Alabama at Birmingham, I am in the honors college because I got accepted into the Science and Technology Honors Program. When people ask me what I enjoy about going to UAB, I brag about how I am in the honors college and how I have a close family all four years. Most of my classes and organizations are centered around the Sci-Tech Program, and I highly encourage upcoming freshman to apply. Whenever I need help with homework or advice, I look up to my family in Sci-Tech.

Stephanie

There are so many opportunities for you to get involved. There is a club or team for every interest. If you cannot find that group, you can create your own!

Djovan

I do not brag about my school at all. I honestly am not too fond of it. My reasoning for filling out all of these applications is in hopes that i may pull together enough money to go to a University in Florida. I STRONGLY desire to attend the University of Central Florida and to leave the state of Alabama entirely. I am a Miami raised boy and my family moved up to Birmingham when i was 10 because of a job offer. I have been desperately trying to make my way back home ever since. ha, PLEASE HELP.

Thelyssa

It is often said to the students on campus by the faculty there that " It's a great day to be a blazer ! " and indeed it is. I say that because the students on campus at UAB are very diverse . When you walk across you see all different ethnicites of people. You see black people , white people , people from india , people from africa , austrailia and everyone is comfortable with one another.

the people here are extremely friendly and thus it is easy to make friends. there are limited things to do outside of college life but the company make it fun. the town seems rather small but it's mostly revolved around the three colleges here. there is a lot of study room and I usually spend most of my time in our huge three story library. during the week most are focused on their schoolwork but the weekends allow for a whole lot of socialization.
