I like that my school is so diverse. UAB is home to many different cultures and ethnicities, allowing interactions between groups of people that normally wouldn't interact. It allows the opportunity for both students and faculty to have new experiences and it also creates an open-minded environment.

The best things about my school is that they are very medical endowed!
Rosa
Everyone that attend UAB is very focused on what they are majoring in. Its small,but to small just the right size. Fraternitys and sororitys are very friendly. For those who want to major in the medical field has an advantage because the campus is surrounded by four big hospitals and a bunch of research labs.
Samantha
I like that there is a lot of ethnic diversity.
Claire
This the best school to go to for medical/ scientific majors. It has an on-site med school that's one of the best in the country!

The best thing about UAB is the students. It is a great environment for studying and learning and you will make friends to last you a lifetime. It is very easy to fit in here and find your nich. And with all the extra curricular activities you will never be hard pressed to find something to do when you aren't studying.

School is a wonderful place, because everyone here is willing to help during any time of the day.

There's nothing that is really outstanding at this school. Everything is just up to par. There isn't even a campus - the school is basically blocks of buildings randomly scattered with no student transportation for convenience. Hardly enough time is given between classes to get from one class to the next.
Kristen
The best thing about UAB is the location. Birmingham is right in the middle of everything--Five Points South is for partiers, and the Alys-Stephens Center is right on campus (students get huge discounts to go to concerts). There is a heavy music scene, underground and otherwise. And if you're Christian, you're right next to some of the biggest movements around--check out the Basement!
Mary
The cultural diversity here is incredible. UAB attracts a lot of different ethnicities and has numerous activities to promote each culture represented on campus. Go to everything you can!
Mary
Teachers care about how the students are doing, and people enjoy helping others in classes,
Lindsay
Professors in my area of study are involved and there to help.
Jeffrey
You can be whoever you want to be at UAB. There is no "in" crowd.
Maria
The best thing about UAB is that there are many people to help out with our "A" plans and "B" plans. They show us a variety of options and always make sure that we understand that we have to prove ourselves to the hiring companies or colleges.
Amber
its diversity because it opens your eyes to some many things that you may have been wondering about but would never under normal circumstance would be able to experience
Priscilla
The best thing I like about UAB is it's broad field of studies.
