I used to be an Auburn University student.BrightAccounting
I used to be an Auburn University student. Everyone was nice and things were handled very well. At UAB it has been nothing but problems, headaches, and stress. I'm an online student and they charge a $4000 online class fee for their business school. That's on top of the tuition. My advice would be to check every little detail you can think of or just go to another university.

Question
The problem I have with UAB is notQuite BrightFinance
The problem I have with UAB is not the program material or the faculty, it's the customer service. I spend thousands of dollars a semester, and I can't get the simplest questions answered. If you try to call in, you're sent to a bulk voicemail; for which you will not receive a response. This university is making money hand over fist, but they refuse to hire the staff necessary to handle the workload. I would not choose UAB again, and I'm seriously considering transferring to another university. This is utterly ridiculous.

Question
I chose to go to UAB because IQuite BrightEducation
I chose to go to UAB because I wanted to stay close to home. I was very pleased with UAB until I got involved in my program at UAB. My adjunct professors were wonderful and vey helpful. I felt like I learned a lot, but the staff from the UAB Education Department is extremely negative and brutally mean. I would not suggest going to UAB for anything to do with education.
