University of Montevallo Top Questions

I considered several schools in the Birmingham and Montgomery areas of Alabama, and even visited many of them, but upon visiting Montevallo I knew it was the school I wanted to attend. The atmosphere alone is just incredible. The people on my campus are absolutely the nicest people I have ever met, and there is just such a strong sense of togetherness that it feels like home. I think that makes my school very unique. It was such an amazing feeling to come from a high school where I was often tormented, to a place where everyone feels like family.

We don't have a football team like most teams; however, we still have homecoming. Known nationally for our homecoming tradition called College Night. There are three colors: Purple, Gold, and Green.

All the music, choreography, directing, all done by students. At the end, the judges count up all the points and decide who the winner is. It's a great, unique, and unforgettable tradition.

The environment on campus is more friendly than most colleges, and it is easier to make friends. Because of the smaller campus it is easier to become involved in activities and meet new people.

It is a small University as compared to many. This is great because the class room size is not that big and the professor will know your name. You get to know your professor and can email or text them for any questions concerning class and lessons taught.

This school is very small. You get a lot of one on one time with your professors.

Compared to many of the schools i have been to, my school is very different. The thing i like best about my school which i think makes it unique is the road. Instead of asphalt, there are bricks. I think that is so cool.

The University of Montevallo is "Alabama's best kept secret." Not only for the astounding students, faculty, and staff but because of the traditions. The oldest tradition of Montevallo is College Night. The entire university splits into two sides: purple and gold. For months, the students write a play which includes painting the sets, designing the costumes, coreographing dances, composing the music, and so forth. During January, purple and gold compete in intramurals. And then in February, purple and gold teams perform their plays. Points are awarded for each intramural game won and the judgement of the better play.

Montevallo has the coolest Homecoming tradition: there are 2 sides (Purple and Gold for our school colors) and they put on a theatre production comeptition. It is completely student ran, everything from the script, acting, singing, set, lights, costumes. There is also Purple and Gold volleyball, basketball and cheerleading that compete as well. All the alumni come to watch too. It is so different from any other school. The people here are also very nice and helpful.

So are so many unique things about Vallo. One the campus is beautiful to be on and it's so open that you can walk around and just be able to enjoy it without worrying about being mugged. Two it's a small campus so everyone is like a big family. Three, the most unque thing is out homecoming tradition of College Night.

I think what is unique about my school is the fact everyone is so open and the students don't focus on partying, drinking, and meaningless socializing. That's one reason why I joined a sorority--the Greek life here isn't all about partying. They are actually very dedicated to the enrichment of their members, as are most groups on campus.

The student diversity at the University of Montevallo is very unique. Being a liberal school, students of all kinds are welcomed. Not once have I ever witnessed an act of discrimination for race, religion, or other personal decisions a student may make.
