Despite being in the center of Birmingham, UAB feels like it's in its own little bubble. UAB is also currently undergoing a lot of renovations, with a new freshman dorm and student center being built for incoming students of 2015-2016. Lastly, UAB is arguably the best medical school in the state of Alabama.
