University of Montevallo Top Questions

The sports teams are pretty decent here. We are slowly but surely increasing the sporting activities on campus.

Well diverse

That it is a great school if you are wanting individual attention and small class size.

The thing that I love mpst about my school is that it is a liberal arts school. which means that everyone is very artisitic and unique. Everyone feels very genuine, and no two people are the same. Everyone dresses exactly how they like, and marches to the beat of their own drum. That is my favorite part.

The campus is simply amazing, so full of life and history that you can hardly take it all in. Besides that however I would have to compliment the professors, they truly care about how you fare in your college life and help any way they can.

College Night, which is Homecoming, athletics, and the environmental studies program with the organic garden. There are a lot of academic opportunities and the is plenty of time to do well if a person puts in the effort.

College Night is an exciting tradition that makes the Vallo' different from other schools. Instead of homecoming, we have a competition between the Purple and Gold side. This competition includes: cheerleading dance routines, many sports, and even a broadway show that is written, directed, choregraphed, and acted out by each side's members. All the scores from each competition are tallied up to create bragging rights for either side that wins. The Purple is about family while the Gold is about dedication. I believe that it unites us as students and the countless hours spent preparing create long-lasting bonds.

I praise our schools openness to new ideas and people, and I'm not only talking about the staff. I'm not shy in admitting I had a very sheltered childhood, and the students who have had much tougher lives than I have are ready and willing to tell me what happened and how they didn't let it turn them into misanthropes. Montevallo provides an environment that truly feels like the next generation is pooling together to improve the world around us.

At the University of Montevallo, we have this amazing Homecoming tradition called "College Night". Since we do not have a football team, which is also great for us southerners who are tired of football, our Homecoming consists of an original musical theatre competition. Students split into two teams, the purple and gold side, and each team prepares an original, student written, cast, composed, and choreographed musical. On College Night, both sides compete for the best show. It is an amazing thing to see. Seeing college night 2014 is the reason why I chose Montevallo. Let's go Purple side 2015!

How open and loving the environment is on campus

I brag about the Homecoming traditions at Montevallo!

The campus is really beautifull. Especially in the fall when the leaves turn orange and the air feels great. Also it is ery safe so my parents feel good with me being there.

Montevallo is so energetic. Instead of a football team, the students still hold on to the longest running college tradition in America: College Night. During the month of February, the students divide into two groups: Purples and Golds. Both groups compete in intramural sports and thertre productions as part of their home comming festivites. While it can feel pretty divided, the alumni come in from all over to take part and it really draws the community together. It is fantastic!

The University of Montevallo is a small public school that is acts as a private school. I do not believe another college has a faculty and staff as hard-working and supportive like the faculty and staff at the university of Montevallo. It's a friendly University with a big heart.

When I tell my friends about Montevallo, I tell them how open it is. Everyone is welcome here. Everyone belongs. It has many activities that you can do every night, and they try to help every student. The professors really care about their students and want them to succeed. The town itself is very quaint. I absolutely love it here! i encourage all of my friends to go here as often as I can.

I usualy brag about the art department. All of the professors are highly skilled and accomplished artists. They provide unique and advanced instruction on how to function in the art world. Taking an art classe at the University of Montevallo is always an exciting and edifying experience.

The clean campus.

The thing that I find incredible about my school is how beautiful, and what a diverse community it is. There are students from all walks of life. I also love that the class sizes are small, and that the teachers are exceptional, and very open minded.

It is a quiet school that doesn't have alot of partying, main focus is getting your degree but you do not feel rushed or forced when doing it; it just comes naturally and is a very pleasant experience.

The amount of history that the University of Montevallo has been founded on is a feul for excellence both in and out of the classroom. As a fine art student at the University of Montevallo, I am receiving an exceptionally unique education. From the anagama kiln, built by our ceramics instructor Dr. Scott Meyer, to the foundry where molten metals are cast, I am indeed experiencing an education unlike any other offered in the state of Alabama. Not to mention the beautifully scenic campus which provides an inspirational environment of its own.
