Tuscaloosa in the summer

My son lived on campus for two summers, and I highly recommend it, especially if you are coming from far away. You will be placed in a suite style dorm, maybe have one or two, not necessarily three suitemates. There are a lot less students taking classes during that time, but there are a lot of students on campus working, doing research, participating in REUs. There are a good number of international students on campus during the summer. It is also advantageous to do the summer school to ease into the move, as after the last summer session is over, you will be able to move into your fall dorm. So, you won’t be moving in during freshman orientation with the thousands of other kids. Of course, this is not worth spending a lot of money, but if you want to ease in and make some friends in a smaller environment, it’s worth doing. Seems no matter where you go, you’re going to be paying OOS tuition, so if you like Bama and want to get an early start, go for it! Best of luck to you!
