The University of Alabama is a university filled with pride and tradition, brought on by its focus on promoting not only a strong academic environment but also successful athletic teams, most notably its football team. ‘Bama’s football team, The Crimson Tide, has achieved the title of national champion more than any other division 1 school (13 claimed since 1892). The institution fosters a great level of school spirit with one of the largest football stadiums in the United States (fifth), seating over 100,000 fans. It is no doubt that for a die-hard Crimson Tide fan, this is the place to be as the school spirit resounds throughout campus and Tuscaloosa.

What is your school best known for?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.What do you consider the best thing about your school? Why?The best thing about the University of Alabama is the pride.  There is a strong comradery between those who attend the school.  High expectations are the only acceptable standard at the university as everyone strives to be better.  The university is ranked as one of the top public schools in the nation; and there are plenty of reasons to support that fact.  Our academics are very strong, UAPD and the Tuscaloosa Police keep campus safe, and best of all, we have a spectacular campus.  I’m proud to attend The University of Alabama and I’ve made the right schoice.

What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?The worst thing about the University of Alabama is the domineering presence of the Greek system.  They run campus elections (student government), even though they are a small fraction of the population.  Other than that, there is a lack of affordable parking spots.If you could change something about your school, what would you change?I would change the image of the school from a football school to an academic institution.  The University of Alabama employs leading scientists and professionals in their fields, and the school delivers a first-rate education to each student.  Just look at the number of UA’s Academic All-Americans.

What kind of person should attend this school?the University of Alabama is open to all ethinic groups in addition to all social classes. In the hall of my dorm we have a diverse and rather unique blend of people. The people in my hall include those attending school from countries like china, japan, korea, india, and canada. In addition to this is the diverse ammount of religions from catholic, protestant, buddist, and atheist. Therefore i think that the University of Alabama is open to all.What kind of person shouldn’t attend this school?The campus at Alabama is very large and open. This being said even though there are entrances for physically disabled it would still be very troublesome to get from class to class across the large space. Other than this there is not a reason as to not attend the University of Alabama.
