UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA IN HUNTSVILLE has delivered an education that is truly exceptional. My time here has been genuinely transformative, owing to the university’s steadfast commitment to academic excellence, its beautiful campus, and its diverse multicultural community. The wide range of extracurricular activities ensures there’s always something intriguing happening on and off campus.

The cost is a bit high, so many choose to live off campus after their first year. If you want to pay extra, be sure to stay at Ridgecrest, Lakeside, or Riverside. It is apartment style and you have your own bedroom. If you want a traditional and inexpensive option, choose the Mary Burke salon. Connected, great staff, dining room in building – very convenient! If you’re a woman, Tutwiler might be the worst choice. 14 floors of women isn’t great, you all share a bathroom. For guys, Bade should be a last resort. The process of choosing accommodation is very simple.

It’s nice that they usually vary the menu enough to make it interesting. Sometimes the cafeteria service can be poor and sometimes the food is not well prepared like the spaghetti noodles can be tough. Bryant has a reputation for being the best cafeteria on campus, but personally I don’t notice much difference. As for meals outside the canteens that fall under a meal plan, Publix is a convenient place to shop. Also, in some places on campus, like the Ferguson Center, there are express-style restaurant chains like Subway and Burger King. They don’t have everything on the menu that your regular chain restaurant would have, but it’s good enough for lunch between classes.
