I am glad IEnglish
I am glad I went to college, period. Was UAB my first choice? No. Not even my second or third. But I ended up there and it has served me well.

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.

Question
I'll go ahead and give you the honestQuite BrightAccounting
I'll go ahead and give you the honest truth. I'm from Alabama and I joined the military. I decided to go to UAB online. Each class costs around $2,000. I started to get to know some of my classmates, even add some on Facebook. I began to realize I, being a Caucasian female, was a minority. Then I realized 90% of people in my class HAD to be going there for free while I was paying $6k a semester. I always wondered why they didn't do military discounts. They simply can't afford it because they have to pay for all of these broke people with family on welfare. It's not fair at all to me. Another thing the teachers LOVE to do is make you work in groups. How in the world could a group project ever go right with everyone living in different states and most of them going here free?! I'll tell you how...it can't! I was stuck doing a 5 person project pretty much by myself. I'm switching to Southern New Hampshire University and letting all of the broke family college students take over this wonderful school.
