Have a great visit at UA. While you are visiting at a quiet time on campus for students, this has an upside, too. You might have an easier time connecting with professors and staff. When you visit with the Honors College, ask to connect with any honors students who are on campus doing summer research. Our student was on campus last summer and had a few opportunities to meet with students touring. Also, make sure the Honors College connects you with professors in your student’s areas of interest. And, this was advised earlier, but mention interest in any Honors College organizations (University Fellows, Computer Based Honors, Mosaic, etc.). Also, being there in the summer means you can get a table easier at City Cafe in Northport. This is a classic southern diner with a long history. Great southern comfort food and veggies and cobbler for a steal. It’s not far from downtown Tuscaloosa (just over the bridge) and is located in a quaint little downtown area. It’s one of our favorites. Roll Tide.
