5 Reasons Why The University Of Alabama Is The Best School In The Nation

1. The University of Alabama is home to the most prestigious football program in the country

Gameday in Tuscaloosa is unbelievable. The luxurious tailgating, spirit and incredible amount of fans create a unique experience, unlike any other school. A typical Alabama football game inside of Bryant-Denny includes thousands of students covered in crimson, shaking their crimson and white shakers, cheering on the Tide, and of course the stadium-wide singalong of Dixie Land Delight. With 16 nation championship titles, a coach like Nick Saban, no other university comes close.

2. The Strip

The Strip is a popular place for students to hang out year round. Whether it's a game day in T-town or just a night out with friends the Strip has got it all! The strip offers a great nightlife with tons of bars and restaurants to choose from. One of the most fun bars on the strip is Rounder's. Rounder's is unique because it offers three different stories, making it easy for customers to find a floor based on what mood they're in for the night. After a long night out on the Strip, there's a variety of restaurants to choose from. The best option after a long night out is definitely Quick Grill, where you can drown yourself in copious amounts of greasy foods (MESSY FRIES!!!).

3. Greek Life

There're not too many times in one's life where they can boast about living in a mega million dollar mansion but at the University of Alabama, that's just an average day in the life. Alabama has the biggest recruitment process in the nation and is home to 61 social Greek letter organizations (about 33 percent of students are a part of Greek life). It's hard to walk down fraternity or sorority row and not let your draw drop looking at the amazing architecture. Although Alabama has an incredible bar scene, some nights staying on campus is a no-brainer when there are concerts in the front yards of fraternity houses (featuring bands like White Panda and Aer, just to name a few). Although the giant houses and parties are an awesome part of Greek like, this isn't the reason Alabama's Greek Life is so important. Ask almost any member of Greek Life what it's like to be in their chapter and you'll get an easy answer explaining the amazing brother and sisterhoods that make each chapter so great. Not to mention the inspiring hard work and dedication each one puts into their philanthropy events. At the University of Alabama, Greek life is more than just joining a club, it's becoming a part of something much bigger than one's self.

4. The Alabama Family

No matter where you go on campus, there's always a friendly familiar face. Professors, students, advisors, etc. go above and beyond to make the best college experience possible. Whether it's helping with an assignment, finding a particular building, or just getting some much-needed advice, there's always someone willing to help. What sets us apart from most schools is our spirit and excitement about the University we attend. Students at the University of Alabama are proud to wear Crimson and know there's no other place like it. No matter where you go across the country, Alabama fans, alumni, and students share a special bond; It's like one giant family.

5. Campus

The University of Alabama has one of the most beautiful campuses in the entire country. It's large brick buildings stand out to visitors as they walk through the beautifully landscaped quad, where they can see a lovely view of the all white President's Mansion. The campus offers a large variety of on-campus housing, classrooms, restaurants, and newly renovated and built athletic facilities. It's hard to find something that this campus doesn't have. The absolute best part about Alabama's campus is certainly Bryant-Denny Stadium. Bryant-Denny is one of the biggest college football stadiums, seating over 100,000 fans. But nothing will ever beat the amazing sunset sky behind Bryan-Denny (most likely you've seen a snap chat, or maybe ten).

Roll Tide to that!!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
