    Tips for prospective students

    I honestly would have to say just stay focused I think it's no reason for you to fail because I participated in activities and still went out with friends and finished my freshman year off really strong. I know everybody's attention span is different but I truely believe Alabama A & M University is a school you can learn and have fun at. Good Luck to all the incoming freshman and transfer students!

    Tips for prospective students

    Well at Alabama A & M University you can certainly tell that you are no longer in high school. You are now the one responsible for you future, you can lean on your parents for advice and that's it. At this school you have to stay on your toes and make sure everything is done corrrectly and keep copies of all your incounters with any advisors,professors, and financial aid advisors. I am definately happy to have all of those experiences because now I know how to handle myself.

    Am learning a lot

    I would honestly say that I am learning a lot of new things at AAMU. I came here thinking that college was going to be extremely hard and that I would fail. But in reality I have had the best classes and very helpful teachers. This is my second semester here and I am very excited about my new classes.
    Am enjoying being here

    I really love my school! Although the campus is small for a University it is very nice and historical. The people here are very helpful with the transition from high school to college. I love the activities there are on campus, there are so many things to do on campus its overwhelming. I am really getting the college experience.
    Bang for the buck

    AAMU is actually an inexpensive school and people get what they need from this school. I am an in-state student and my tuition is under 13,000 this year. Out of state students have told me that this was a wise choice financial for them.
    Tips for prospective students

    Students who are thinking about coming here should definitely come to the High School Senior Day. This day is set aside for any high school senior that is interested in attending AAMU. I went and it really helped me lock in my decision about this school. The students get to eat free, get a detailed tour of the campus, and get to watch a free football game. It is really exciting!
    Great for these types of students

    Students who enjoy historical features should consider AAMU.The school is very historical and it makes you feel enriched with knowledge. Also, any student who wants to succeed academically would love AAMU because of the classes and the support they get. Students who love to have a good time would fit in perfectly here, there is always something fun going on.

    Am learning a lot

    Academics in my opinion is the crown Jewel of AAMU. Your teachers will make sure you understand what they are teaching and will also help you understand. Class size on average is about twenty people but you will from time to time get classes with six people or even over thirty. There's study areas located throughout campus so its fairly easy to find a quiet area if you prefer not to study in your dorm.
    Am enjoying being here

    Complete honesty in my review, I did not enjoy my first semester here because I was one of those people who liked to keep to myself and my group of friends. Key to enjoying your time is networking, go to every single campus event, study in the library, and develop relationships with your teachers. The athletics can be a little, hard to watch at times but things are what you make them out to be.
    Bang for the buck

    AAMU is the least expensive University in the State of Alabama and is definitely worth the price. Because of the schools size there are also many ways to obtain scholarships if you take the time to look for them. Also Huntsville by far is also becoming one of the top cities in Alabama due to all the economic growth and having Redstone Arsenal. AAMU is worth every penny if your looking for a school you wont be struggling to pay for.
    Tips for prospective students

    This school is not and has never been known for its vibrant student life so it is up to you to become involved. Make sure to get involved with two or three organizations your first semester because that will help you meet people and build your network. Having good friends is a key to success at AAMU. There are no real campus stores and communication of events can be non existent sometimes so trust me friends will greatly improve your time here. AAMU is fairly small so teachers will know your personally and the people around you will know your face.
    Great for these types of students

    I will be completely honest to everyone reading this review. If you are looking for an exciting college experience where you meet many people this school is not for you. If your going to college for the sole purpose of learning and improving yourself AAMU is for you. This is a historically black university so expect not to have the best of everything given to you. Its up to you as a person to make the best out of everything.

    Am learning a lot

    I'm learning is all i can say. Surivial Skills is the only down fall about college. There is nothing you can't learn there that you didn't already know, don't care about, or just could have found out on your own time. Other classes teach the actual thing.
    Am enjoying being here

    Lots of things to do.
    Bang for the buck

    They have there own bus system. That's great because these hills are a killer when walking in rain, heat and cold. Lowest tuition in the state as far a university of its size.
    Tips for prospective students

    Find scholarships early. Don't get caught up in social activities.
    Great for these types of students

    It's a HBCU so if you need some one on one attention this is for you. if you seem like a lazy, layed back person also for you.

    Am learning a lot

    I can honestly say that I have learned quite a lot of new materials, especially considering the fact that I challenged myself in high school. even though I was ahead of the rest I found that there is MUCH to learn. For example, once I got into my major courses it was as though I stepped into an entirely different school!
    Am enjoying being here

    I am very much enjoying myself!!! Part of that is due to the fact that when I first arrived I was extremely introverted. However, as the time wore on and I began to meet new people and become acquainted with the campus, attended events, indulged in the school spirit, etc. I was able to not only experience a level of social freedom but also personal development.
    Bang for the buck

    The pricing, in my opinion is very decent, as you will not have to burn a hole in your wallet just to attend.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you plan on attending be sure to have your business in order. I would strongly advise you to take a campus tour and see what the vibe is. Also apply for as many scholarships as possible, especially within your department. Come with a PLAN and know how to balance business with pleasure/leisure.
    Great for these types of students

    This university is great for those who like meeting new people. SOCIABLE.

    Am learning a lot

    I have learned a lot at Alabama A&M. The professors that I have are very concerned with the student's ability to be able to learn, and they are always willing to help students out. There is no reason why a student should not be able to gain a knowledgeable learning experience unless they do not attempt to try to learn.
    Am enjoying being here

    For the most part, I enjoy the A&M campus. I don't really hang out much because I'm usually in my room doing my work. I really enjoy my classes though.
    Bang for the buck

    The price to attend A&M isn't too pricey compared to most universities.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you have A&M on your list, be sure to visit so that you can check out the atmosphere. Just be prepared to attend school for work, and don't get distracted!
    Great for these types of students

    People that like socializing and getting to know new people.

    Am learning a lot

    The University has a lot of different resources on campus and off campus that are near. The professors really know their stuff and enjoy teaching the students. I have learned a variety of things from attending this university, educational and non-educational.
    Am enjoying being here

    Its great on campus and I love being here. I would not trade universities for nothing in the world. There is always something to do on campus. If you are not studying then you could always go to the greasy spoon and get a bit to eat and upstairs to the student center to see whats popping on campus.
    Bang for the buck

    AAMU is not a very expensive school and every penny you pay to attend AAMU is worth it. There are lots of scholarships and grant opportunities available for students who attend or plan on attending AAMU. You just have to meet and talk to the right people. For example, any students who plan on having a career in the medical field can join this organization called HCOP and receive free MCAT,PCAT, and DCAT exams tutoring as well as a $2000 scholarship for the fall.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you attend AAMU get involved in at least one of the many organizations or sports teams on campus, establish relationships with your teachers, and have fun. Also remember to have good time management skills or you can fall behind or off the success train. Also talk to financial aid about working on campus with either work study or bi-weekly.
    Great for these types of students

    AAMU is great for all students and anyone who comes to this university will fall in love with it and its history.

    In three sentences

    the teachers here are very helpful and they care weather you learn or not. they also have many events going on around campus to help students get involved. they also provide transportation to help you get to places if you do not have a car.
    Tips for prospective students

    make sure you apply for as many scholarships as possible. also get involved with activities and have a good relationship with your teachers.
    Academic Rigor

    the teachers are always available to help you. they often stay after class or in their offices for long periods of time waiting to help students on anything they may not understand. they also respond to your emails or calls quickly.
    Dorm Life

    the dorm life has its ups and downs. one of its downs are having visitation after a certain time. some of the dorms are also old and in very bad condition. some don't have wifi or air condition .in the dorm life you feel safe because every visitor has to sign in and they make announcements to inform you if their is an man on the hall.
    Food and Dining

    the food however here is horrible.the food here is often repeated daily and sometimes they run out. it is also very unhealthy.
    What to do for fun

    for fun here they often have events such as basketball games and other sports. their are also many parties and talent shows going on on campus.

    Will learn a lot

    I feel that I will blend in with all of the student body as well as know all of my teachers.
    Will enjoy being here

    Great weather as well as southern hospitality will always win me over.
    Bang for the buck

    Since im from Chicago, Illinois, the out-of-state tuition is a little steep but since I qualify for financial aid, I'm on that worried about college costs.
    Tips for prospective students

    Study hard for the act test and do lucrative activities throughout high school to stand out to your admission council.
    Great for these types of students

    Alabama AMU is great for students that want southern hospitality and warm weather as well as a chance to experience the benefits of a Historically Black College/University.

    Will learn a lot

    I have always wanted to attend a HBCU because I never learned a lot about my culture, will I learn a lot about African American history and culture?
