Greek
life isn't essential to have a social life here, but
I would admit that it is the easiest available conduit
to new friends at the University. However, as all
Freshmen now live in dorms, it shouldn't be too big
of a problem to meet people in your dorm and
make some lasting friendships. I came up here with
about 25 high school mates and really only hang out
with 1 or 2 of them still. However, I've
got at least 3 really good friends from out of
state, and at least 40 to 50 more that I've
met in classes and activities. The University is accommodating
with its availability of extra-curriculars and intramural sports activities.
The campus is very aesthetically pleasing, in generally good shape,
and the recreation center is second to none. There's
nothing quite like Alabama Football in the fall, either.
Even if you're not a fan, the experience should still
be quite enthralling. As for the city of Tuscaloosa,
there isn't a whole lot to do outside of drinking
or going to a movie. T-Town doesn't have a
particularly large amount of culture, and there aren't any great
bars. There are tons of bars, but most of
them are usually jam-packed, have really loud (often really bad)
bands, are uncannily smoky, and serve all their drinks in
clear plastic cups (I'm not a toddler, don't worry; I
won't drop my little sippy cup!) I really think
how one perceives the social scene depends a lot on
how one spends time with friends. Bars can be
fun, but friends are often much more so. All
in all, Alabama's a good school that has great faculty
members and academic programs (if you REALLY know what you're
looking for) that provides a variety of opportunities that cover
almost anything imaginable. Though some aspects of the Greek
life may seem over-the-top or alienating, keep in mind that
only 20% of the school is Greek...
