UAB's alumni house is pretty nice. It has several rooms that can be used for meetings, and some…read morenice couches in the foyer. The big draw is the large meeting room which can be configured for different occasions. When we came here recently, it was for the UAB Alumni dinner before the basketball game against Western Kentucky (which UAB won). It was a great time, and I look forward to more events here in the future.

Not so much the high school, but for their stadium. I haven't been to many of the High School…read moreStadiums around the area, but my fiance's boys had a band competition here and we wanted to go and support them. Staff they had directing people to find parking were all really friendly. As you enter the stadium they had a really nice concession stand that had a good variety of food (for a high school event) and prices were on par with the other places I've been. Really, where they stand out, seating and field were all really nice. Not sure how many people they can hold, but they accommodate more then most of the high school stadiums I've seen before. Also, they have pretty wide seating, so you aren't on top of the people in front and behind you. Really nice place for a sporting event or other competition. Would recommend this place if you hear of an event happening here that you're interested in.

Great school I love it. Here's what the students had to say:…read more Student one: nothing "The dumpster has a soap dispenser on it " "Gay" "I found a baby doll in the trash can once" "What" "The bathrooms smell like depression" "I got a sunburn from sitting next the window in class once" "The lunch room is great if you like food" "Help"

Happy 1000th review!!…read more In keeping with the theme, since my 100th review, I reviewed my undergrad Alma mater, for my 1000th I'll review my graduate school! I attended the University of Alabama at Birmingham for my Masters degree in the early 2010s. I have nothing but good things to say about the education I received, the interactions with faculty members (which later led to me securing a full time position post graduation), as well as all of the co-curricular opportunities I was involved with/had offered to me. Yes, parking could be improved on any urban college campus, so I don't think that's necessarily a deal breaker. Thank you for my education and the opportunities that were afforded to me post graduation!

So I am a little biased as an alumni (graduating class none your business because I am old) but I…read morelove Samford. Last Sunday I was on campus at Brock Hall for my daughters piano recital. The facilities all over campus are well kept and beautiful. The staff and teachers are always helpful if you need anything. Brock Hall is beautiful with the high ceilings and grand piano on center stage. Samford has many different areas to study. While many study liberal arts such as music, I graduated with my doctorate of pharmacy degree. Samford also hosts many events so come visit when you can.

Despite great professors and decent academics, Samford is a dumpster fire. They have admitted way…read moretoo many students to the point that simply walking from one building to another as become a free-for-all where everyone has to push and shove past each other. Additionally, there no longer seems to much standards of who they accept into the college. No ACT or SAT scores are needed, and not even a minimum GPA is required. As a result, recent years have seen a drastic increase in students who are not prepared for college and many who have not yet outgrown their high school mentality. In short, Samford has chosen quantity over quality. They are currently far more concerned with making money than they are with the well-being of their students, faculty, and academics. I do not recommend this university at this time.
