The proffessors have always been nice, but the administration is absolutely the worst I've seen. I always have the feeling when dealing with any aspect of admissions, financial aid, or any university administration that they are trying to stop you from doing anything rather than assist you.

Due to the constant troubles you will have with the university's administration, I would highly recommend going somewhere else.

Quite Bright
This is a boring place where the administration is working toward nothing but taking up office space. The faculty in my program taught from a mainstream perspective and never brought in current research.

Super Brilliant
The university itself I would have to say does seem to treat students as a number, which, by me, is ok. However, the FACULTY involved with the university are very approachable and helpful. My teachers are always very flexible and considerate of random happenings that can occur (e.g. Hurricane Ivan: NOT ONE of my teachers did the whole "tough luck" routine.) Any problems that arise can be resolved quite easily.

As for the meteorology program...awesome! The one aspect of the program I enjoy most is the shift of focus from book learning to hands-on experience. Dr. Williams and Dr. Blackwell are incredibly experienced as well as the rest of the faculty in the program. Definitely a "door opener" when it comes to job opportunities. I just wish it had a graduate program.

As for the spirit...yeah...that's the only negative. Honestly, it can be summed up in one statement: we need a football team!

I would definitely recommend this to any student, especially Meteorology, Med, or Business (those are the programs I'm most familiar with).

USA (or South, as the locals call it) is truly a beautiful place to be. Everyone in the city of Mobile is friendly and willing to help. Not much action as far as typical college party life, but there is always some campus event to go to. Every faculty member I've met is always available and more than happy to meet with you. OUT-OF-STATE STUDENTS BEWARE: you will pay twice as much as everyone else. Try to establish Alabama Residency as soon as possible. (you can't do that if you live in a dorm!)
