<p>Thanks for the thorough review. As I mentioned above, my D and I visited Alabama last week, went on a campus tour, met with honors dept folks, sat in on a private vocal lesson with Dr. Bill Martin, and met with Mr. Crystal. </p>
<p>We also spoke with several students in the hallway briefly and they were very positive and friendly. One student had three jobs waiting for her after graduation.</p>
<p>My D really liked the university as a whole. </p>
<p>Good luck in your final decision.</p>
