Plenty to do. Dispelled my fears of living in a small town. [View Full Report]

The northern part of the town where the campus is is very nice. However south of the campus the city is worn down and older filled with a lot of lower class people of the African American gender. [View Full Report]

much of what a student would need is on campus. BUT w/in 10 minutes is everything anyone would need. Stores, Restaurants and more. [View Full Report]

We came in a day early and spent the day exploring Tuscaloosa. We went to MidTown Mall and also a mall across the street. We ate at local places and found everyone and everything to be very nice. [View Full Report]

Seems like a very nice, clean town. Super Target is nearby and the university has a shuttle bus that the students can take to get there as well as other places around town. [View Full Report]

The entire city revolves around the Crimson Tide, which I loved. Driving down from Birmingham to Tuscaloosa I must have seen atleast 20 cars with a crimson logo on it. So much school spirit! [View Full Report]

Downtown Tuscaloosa gives that old time city charm while maintaining a newer feel. [View Full Report]

Tuscaloosa seems like a great area. It's not so small that there's nothing to do but it's not overwhelmingly big either. [View Full Report]
