Huntsville, AL
University of Alabama in Huntsville

I really enjoy the university it's real easy to make friends, and the professors are always willing to help you if you have any questions. I have already been trying to talk my brother to come to that school when he graduates. They have so many clubs you can join to keep you busy so you don't get home sick that much.

UAH seems like a promising school from the outside looking in, however it seems to only set up a particular type of person for success. The professors are not necessarily competent, but the coursework is overly complicated and challenging. The social scene here is not very good either and most of the students and staff are pretty rude or unsociable. The food options on campus are already limited as is, but if you have dietary restrictions just forget about trying to find something to eat. UAH has a high percentage of student employment within the university, however they do not respect or value their student employees. Overall, UAH offers amazing scholarships and employment opportunities, but the saying “too good to be true” holds strong. I do regret coming here and would not recommend it to any prospective students.

As a current student I can confidently say The University of Alabama in Huntsville is a superb college with immense focus on student success. Students are not only encouraged to do their absolute best in class, sports, and extracurricular activities: but they are also given every tool necessary for them to succeed. This includes invested teachers and staff, free tutoring, free mentoring, and accessibility to a fully stocked library.

The campus is fairly nice with new buildings being built. The campus does have a appalling lack of parking. The college of science has some amazing professors and a very challenging course load. All in all a good school with a heavy emphasis on the STEM fields.

I love this school. When I first started out my first semester, I did not participate in any activities outside the dorm. I soon began to make friends all over campus and regularly participate in the many activities all across campus. The University of Alabama also has a fantastic hockey following. This school is a blast, and I wouldn't be this happy anywhere else.

My parents are big on safety and security as they're both military, and they were extremely worried that I'd be going to a school with absolutely NO family nearby. However, upon touring the school, they found it fairly easy to navigate, very safe and open, and comfortably involved in student livelihood. The advisers were quick to accommodate to my availability (I was out of state to welcome my father home from deployment), and helped me schedule my classes over email.

It is a campus full of intelligent fellow peers whom are focused on academics rather than night life, which seems to be the the case for many other colleges. By doing so, we are more prepared for the impact of the real world and thus can support ourselves. The staff supports the students well and there are many tutoring opportunities for those falling behind. Also, the scholarships are amazing especially for such a good school.

It is the number one school in Alabama. The people there are very kind and willing to help you. If you want to got to a great school choose this one.

UAH is a great school overall. My professors have been wonderful and I have learned a lot in my first year attending. All the students at UAH are very friendly and helpful. You do not have to be in a sorority or fraternity to get involved at UAH. Although UAH is a highly science and engineering based school, the business and liberal arts programs are very good. My favorite thing about UAH is the student culture. UAH has good food selection on campus but it could be better. All of my classes so far have had less than 30 students, and all of my professors knew my name personally and cared about my success in their class. Whether you are introverted or extroverted, making friends is easy at UAH! There are tons of clubs to get involved in, ranging from martial arts to bee keeping. My least favorite thing about UAH is their lack of study abroad programs. There are a few opportunities if you are a Business major or if you are majoring in a foreign language, but that's about it. However, UAH is working to improve their study abroad opportunities, and started holding a Study Abroad fair to gauge student interest. Overall, UAH is a challenging but rewarding university with a thriving student culture and wonderful professors. If I had to choose again, I would still choose UAH!

UAH is a pretty good school in terms of academics, facilities, and work opportunities. I had no trouble in getting an on-campus student research assistant job in my first semester but of course, I had to take the steps and talk to the professor. Apart from a few professors, the faculty is very helpful and wants their students to succeed. This is primarily a science and engineering school and that is understandable given the influence of NASA in Huntsville.
