@Floridaball Actually, UAH is growing by leaps and bounds, and it would definitely be categorized as a residential university. I think it still suffers some from old information. It might not have UA’s 80+% students living on campus, but there is a high enough percentage that there are always things to do on weekends and always other students to do them with.
My son is an oos freshman there who only comes home on holidays, and he never lacks for things to do. There are many other oos students as well. The school has placed an emphasis on oos recruiting in recent years, and it is paying off in terms of geographic diversity. As was stated up-thread, they are currently building a new dorm as well as a new fraternity. I don’t think you have to be concerned about the residential aspect. Good luck!
