@healthandmusic - FWIW all of my son’s roommates (10 in 4 years) have been white, my son has friends from several different racial/ethnic groups
What does he think of UA? Like anything else in life, there are things he likes and things he doesn’t. He loves the football and school spirit - sometimes I think he only wears Bama t-shirts now ;). There are some classes/instructors he likes and others he doesn’t. He likes the area and has talked about staying in that area after he graduates.
I think he has had some great opportunities in his time there from travelling to Ecuador twice with the Alabama Action Abroad program to completing both an internship and co-op in his major so he’ll graduate with more than a year of professional experience.
