The University of Alabama Top Questions

Not always. Of course, fraternities have higher numbers of people who drink and Greek life in general consists of many parties. I know plenty of people who don't drink and party and we have just as much or more fun than those who do.

not really

As far as the redneck part, I wouldn't say so. As an African American student, I haven't really seen anything that I would classify as totally redneck. I haven't seen much racism either, except for an incident or two with someone or several people spray painting racists words on a campus building. Also, one of the black sororities was vandalized several times. As far as football goes, I admit it is very big at this school and many students will come out and tell you that is the only reason they go to school here.

In the fall semester, yea, everything revolves around football. You find teachers to be a little more lenient when it comes to assignments due right after a big football game. As for the partying, not everyone parties, and most of the partying you see is done by the Greek organizations.

We do party alot but we take classes seriously as well. We do love football, but not too much. There are no Friday classes once you hit upperclassmen classes. Greeks are jerks

I think to some extent the stereotypes are accurate. Students here do love to party, but that is not what we are all about.

Sadly, Yes.

maybe

pretty much.... unless you go there

In some ways, yes, but as stereotypes go, there is always a group that do not conform. Its is true we love football and drinking, but the quality of a degree from the University of Alabama should never be called into question.
