The University of Alabama Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about The University of Alabama? Why?

Melissa

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.

The worst thing about my school is the cost of on-campus housing. It definitely costs a bit much to live on campus at the University of Alabama. If a student wants the quality of having there own room and personal bathroom, they have to pay a pretty penny for the benefits.

The worst thing about my school is how exclusive it is on campus, especially with the Greek community. It’s almost as if you need to be Greek to be in the loop at UA.

I think the Greek system, especially for men, is not a transparent rush process. The fraternities offer an informal rush and if you are like me who came from a small community and small school, it was not an easy process to navigate. I thought fraternity life was for me but the more I saw the lack of mature judgement in the fraternities, the better off I felt about myself.

Alyssa

I believe the worst thing about my school is not being able to do everything they offer. I knew the moment I came for orientation that I would want to do everything. There just isn't enough time in the four years that I will be here to try everything. So, I will make the most of my time here at University of Alabama!

The worst thing about the University of Alabama would have to be the Greek life. Although it is of the essence for some students to be involved in the greek life, for those who are not involved, the school is utterly boring. As an out of state student from New Jersey it has been very hard for me to make friends since I am not affiliated with a sorority. With that being said, I suggest chosing a different school if one does not plan on rushing fraternities.

Martinique

The lack of activities for making the campus diverse would be the worst thing. If the students would come together and share ideas, cultures, and help each other out, the campus would be better. Having better advisors would help also.

Joseph

Probably the distance which I have to walk between classes.

Jacob

Since it is so sport oriented it is very hard to go anywhere without someone mentioning sports or Alabama football, although that is not too bad it just basically gets a little annoying after a while.

Christina

At times the classes for majors such as the sciences are too large and there is not enough teacher-student interaction.
