I went to a VERY small school and I always hear people who went to Alabama say" i wish i had gone somewhere smaller"

Really? I never hear that from Bama grads. I have heard that from grads from other large schools, but Bama is quite personal. And, now with its very developed Honors College, that shrinks the school as well.

Bama is very thoughtfully laid out. Buildings are clustered by type. Gen Ed classes tend to be close to the Quad, and courses for majors tend to be clustered as well. Science classes tend to be in the NE section of campus, Humanities courses tend to be in the west side of campus, business courses are on the lower west side, performing and fine arts tends to be on the south side, etc.

Dorms and other support buildings tend to be on the perimeters.
