UAH is the perfect size for a campus, big enough to feel safe and like its own little bubble, and small enough that there aren't a bunch of toxic micro-communities. It's changing how its meal plan works, so keep an eye on that when considering application. Housing is good dorm wise, and the UAH community is very diverse, open, and accepting. Academically, the material is good, but you never know what you're going to get Professor wise, as some are incredible, and some are less so.
Over all, its a good environment that encourages learning both academically, and about yourself.

I have attended UAH for the past 4 years and have had a pretty average experience. The dorms could use some renovations but it is very nice that no one has to share a bedroom. I believe the academics are great but this quality can sometimes be lost with a subpar professor. The biggest problem I experienced was an absent advising department and having to work insanely hard to get a meeting with an advisor. This lack of advice caused me to take multiple unnecessary courses and pay for them out of pocket.
