Average Rating
UAB is my heart's home - I have attended two other colleges and they pale in comparison to the bustle, warmth, energy and student life found at UAB. I love the downtown setting of the campus, being surrounded by so much history and growth is inspiring. But also, UAB has some of the best instructors, most interesting classes, unique extracurriculars, a sweet rec center, a plethora of majors and minors, not to mention an abundance of opportunities to grow, learn and make connections.
Alicia from Ozark, AL
Despite being in the center of Birmingham, UAB feels like its in its own little bubble. UAB is also currently undergoing a lot of renovation, with a new freshman dorm and student centering being built for incoming students of 2015-2016. Lastly, UAB is arguable the best medical school in the state of Alabama.
