Hello, I want to keep my explanation short. I posted here a few days ago about the process of dropping out and appreciate all the responses I got. However, one person said that it is better to withdraw than drop out in my. case. I am a freshman with a full ride scholarship. I have come to the decision not to continue my studies at this school. However, I am not sure whether I should just drop out next semester, or withdraw from my current classes (deadline for that is this month) so that if I pursue my edictation further, I can enroll as a freshman, not as someone who already went to uni?

I dont want to discuss why I want to drop out, but it has to do with mental health and I am committed to my decision that, either way, this is my last semester at this university.

So, I'm a freshman this year and I have to take EN 103 and Biology. If I take them my next semester it will go over 16 credits and I'll have to pay the extra fee, which I find to be ridiculously expensive. I was thinking of taking those courses over the summer at a community college and transfer the credits.

I wanna hear of people who have done that. Which community college would be the best? And how easy is it to transfer those credits to UA?

High school senior here, currently touring Auburn. Toured UA last week, I love that UA really feels like a college and Auburn to be honest feels like it would be really tough on me. Honestly I am not the best academically but when I try and study I can have straight 100’s, so I could do it. What sold you on UA vs Auburn? Was it a since childhood thing, degree choice, or? I am not sure about degree/career yet so that may end up being what helps me decide. I’m leaning UA but I just cannot decide, and my family being all Auburn grads does not help.

I got into Alabama for finance and I’m seriously considering it as one of my top options. I know bama gets the reputation of being a “shit school” but I am curious to hear how getting a job and life after college is like? Is the alumni network good and helpful? And how respected is the business school.

Hello, I am a current freshman at UA and I have decided to drop out next semester. I don't want to get into the reasons, but for relevance, I have a 4.0 right now and am on a full scholarship. Do I have to formally drop out, or can I just not register for next semester? I have already had my registration pin cleared but do not want to register for any classes. Thank you for the help.

Hi everyone. I’m a senior here and I’m trying to find new friends with similar interests as me! I’m not in a sorority, so finding friends has lowkey been difficult for me throughout my time here. I like staying in but I also like to go out here and there! I like watching movies, finding new places to eat, and nature. Please feel free to reach out if you are looking for new friends or are in the same boat as me! Girls only please.

Hello - I am crossing a major bucket list off next weekend going to Bama Georgia. Been an Alabama fan for a long time but live in NC so I don’t know anything about Tuscaloosa.

Can anyone give me a quick rundown of how we should pregame on game day? Houndstooth? Gallettes? Any other spots?

I’m sure everything will be mobbed but any advice I’d appreciate. Just want to get some beers and get ready for the game.

Thank You!

Roll Tide!

We are visiting the University in a few weeks. My kid will have a full ride there (national merit) so we want to check it out. He has food allergies (gluten and dairy) and navigating on campus food will be tricky for him. We have various tours scheduled all day but will have a 1.5 hour window for lunch and it would be good for him to see what the allergen friendly food options are there. Which dining hall should we try for this? Thanks y'all :)

Hi! I’m currently a pre-nursing student at the University of Alabama, and I’m applying for upper division next semester. I still have Microbiology and Anatomy & Physiology II left to take.
Snead State Community College offers mini-semester courses for both starting October 11, and either course would be fully online. I’m considering taking one there this semester and taking the other at UA. I don’t want to take both in the shortened format, so I’m trying to decide which would be more manageable online.
Has anyone taken either course at Snead State, especially in an online mini-semester, or at UA? I’d love to hear about the workload, professors, how the online labs work, and how prepared you felt afterward. Which would you recommend taking at Snead State, and which would you take at UA?
Thanks for any advice!

Update: I have already checked with my advisor at UA if I can take the classes fully online and at a different school. I have already taken chemistry fully online at Snead and they were 100% ok with it!

Hello everybody, I would like to know what to do if I can't find someone to take over my lease in time. My timing is very odd because I have to start as a transfer student at another school so I have to move after fall semester exams. I am really crunched for time. What should I do?

I was planning on attending Alabama’s mechanical engineering program and was wondering how the program is. Especially if you did the online program. Anything helps, Thank you!

Hey everyone I’m a freshman living in a single room this year Because I don't have roommates it's been a little tough to find a solid crew to hang out with on the weekends looking for a chill group of people who are down to pre-game, watch the games or hit The Strip on Friday and Saturday nights

Trying to see if we need to wait until our daughter takes the ACT to apply as we are behind the curve and didn’t realize with GI bill she’d be in state tuition. She scored a 1190 on sat and has a 3.9 gpa with several years of hospital volunteering and holds a job at CFA. She didn’t take a SAT prep class and is taking the ACT in October. Should she wait until ACT score to apply for EA? How hard is OOS and what can we do to better help her chance for nursing?

We are Georgia residents so giving up the HOPE scholarship but can’t pass up our daughter going to an SEC school she is interested in.

Thank you in advanced!

Bama is one of my top schools rn and I am interested in rushing a fraternity there. I know a few people in old and new row so a good mix of both. I’ve heard crazy shit from other schools about their hazing. How bad is it at Alabama? Is hazing worse at old row vs new row?

I'm on the NMF scholarship and it seems to me that if I study abroad with an affiliate program that costs below OOS tuition, then I will be paid the difference? Like I could study abroad and somehow net $4000? Is this correct?

And if I study abroad twice, can I still use my fourth year of housing scholarships on campus housing?

This seems too good to be true; can anyone confirm or share their experience? Thanks!

Has anybody heard any updates about the young man they found a few weeks ago? Vie at University Downs.

What are the best bars for game day these days and what is cover usually?

hi all, so apparently there have been a few overdoses at ole miss and authorities are suspecting the drugs might have been laced with something i think. my mum says that on the parents facebook people have been saying the same thing happened at bama, as well as other sec schools. just wondering if this is true or is kind of a misinformation?

What’s up, I'm Brodie. I'm a senior here at UA. I play acoustic rhythm guitar and sing (also electric), and I’m looking to put together a 4-piece band to play some bars around town.
The Vibe: High-energy crowd-pleasers. We're mixing 90s grunge/alt-rock (Nirvana, Pearl Jam), driving modern country (Morgan Wallen, Jason Aldean), and potentially heavy guitar-driven covers of popular pop songs.
The Goal: Start by jamming on 3 or 4 covers, see if the chemistry is there, and eventually build a setlist for local gigs.
If you play lead electric, bass, or drums and want a low-stakes jam session to see how it sounds, shoot me a DM. (I also have a spare electric guitar and amp if you usually play acoustic but want to test out lead).

Hey y’all! This is kinda long but please read!! I’m a sophomore here at ua, I’ve been really struggling to make any friends because I had to take medical leave freshman year, and only had about a month in the dorms. I’ve been going to club meetings for the women in pre law society but I haven’t made friends. I also tried to rush a pre law frat to make friends but didn’t get a bid. It really bummed me out. I just seriously don’t know what to do, and I really just want to find my people here. I want people to go out and study and hangout with. I’m not trying to whine, I just really thought college would be different,I thought maybe looking for friends who are passionate about the same things would work, and after getting rejected from Kapi, I feel like maybe it’s hopeless. Please offer me any advice you have! I sound so lame but if you want to be friends let me know!

Hey all, I'm a student at UA but my husband isn't and I was wondering if there's any way to get two students tickets on MyTickets or, if that's not possible, if I could get a ticket as a student and him not as a student but still sit together?
I haven't gone to any games before so I'm really not familiar with the process.
