I had never heard of UAB before, nor of its facilities or prestige; however, after seeing what UAB has to offer, I believe that it is certainly going to be a front-runner. Yes

I think the engineering tour, was very informative eventhough there was no staff there to talk to the group.

The TrailBlazer Guides of the 9/9/11 campus tour couldn't tell us much about the various classes.

I would recommend that the campus tour guides come from a more diverse study so that they can fill in for what the other doesn't know. Other that that, I was very impressed. 2012

Learning which buildings were for which activities. N/A

My family is orthodox Jew, as well as vegan.... Having kosher foods as well as vegetarian would be helpful. When we asked our Trailblazers, they had no idea.

10/24/2011 13:25 Yes

The tour actually made my decision on whether or not I was going to attend UAB this fall or not... I am! :) Yes

Probably to dorms and how you are going to live as a college student. That was really important to me considering I would be an out of state student with no family in Alabama.

I didn't feel like there was an information that wasn't valuable on my tour. Maybe the information on how to get involved in the sports because I can't play sports anymore but that information is valuable to the students who do plan on playing sports.

The only thing that I was confused on was on what to do next. I have been accepted into the school but how do I say, "Yes, I do want to go to UAB next year"? 2012

The entire tour was informative and I left there with a true sense of the campus and school. The counselor, Ms. Blackmon was awesome and very helpful.

No comment here. It was all good and valuable.

As a senior, I have really looked hard at my college choices. I am happy to say UAB has really risen to the top for me. I plan to attend medical school after my undergraduate course work and can really see UAB being my home away from home. My only concern is cost. With it being out of state for me, I want to be sure I am not a burden on my parents. I still plan to apply and hope I qualify for your scholarships. 2012

11/20/2011 20:42 Yesmuch more personal than i had expected Yes 2012

11/23/2011 22:22 Yes Yes

Speaking with Frank Paige after the tour. He really helped answer some questions for me and helped me make my final decision to attend UAB.

A lot of the information during the tour and the financial aid session after was aimed at freshman. I am not entering as a freshman so i did not find this very helpful. I also did not get answers to my questions about loan forgiveness programs. 2007

11/25/2011 14:49 Yes

I absolutely fell in love with the campus. It's beautiful and I LOVE the safety features the school provides. I find that it will make a good home and school! Yes

Seeing every aspect of the campus to really get the feel of UAB.

12/17/2011 12:43 Yes

Yes, because the campus is very open, and very diverse demographic from what I saw on the tour. Yes

Seeing the campus and layout of the buildings.

The tour guides only seemed to be friendly to select tourists in the group. Their attitudes were a bit dry and carried themselves unprofessional in the beginning, but smoothed out towards the end. Could've been better. 2012

The most valuable part of the tour was having all of my questions answered by real students who understood exactly what I meant because they had thought about the same things.

I wish we could have actually visited with a professor so he could tell us more personally what he and his colleagues expect from the students. 2012

12/30/2011 1:47 Yes

I love the atmosphere. I just got that feeling I've been waiting for. I just know that it is the right school for me! Yes

Just becoming more familiar with the campus, and the reassurance to both my parents and me that I will be safe while there.

I am a transfer student, and I would have found it more valuable to visit the dorms I would be living in instead of spending that time looking at dorms I won't even consider. I know there were freshman too, but maybe have a tour just for transfer students and take them to those dorms.

I am so excited about transferring to UAB in the fall! Thank you for being organized and keeping me informed! I am very impressed! 2010

12/31/2011 16:58 Yes

1/1/2012 19:07 Yes

Nothing, everything was valuable to my needs of a the tour.








1/8/2012 23:59 Yes Yes Viet, our Trailblazer.

I really wanted to see Blazer Hall. It was disappointing to not be able to see all of the possible freshman housing before having to make my choice.

Viet was an exceptional Trailblazer. He sought to relate to all of the students and make it a personal tour for each one. He spoke to each student about their particular area of interest and how UAB related to them. 2012

1/9/2012 20:55 Yes

I love the atmosphere of the college and the Admissions Counselors are very helpful. Yes

I was very interested in seeing the classrooms and campus facilities.

Every part of the tour was valuable and added to the overall experience.

1/14/2012 16:04 Yes

I wasn't sure I would like the campus in a large city. I'm from a small town, so the change would be huge for me. However, after visiting, I absolutely loved it! I felt so at home Yes

The most valuable part was seeing the exact buildings I would live and study. It amazed me how relatively close it all was.

I was a little disappointed that I wasn't able to actually walk inside a lot of the buildings, but since finals were going on I can understand why.

The tour guides I had, Roshni and Rylee, were fabulous! I went with so many questions running through my head, but they covered every single one of them without me having to even ask. Their explanations were so understandable and I enjoyed their friendliness and added details they provided on the tour. 2012








1/14/2012 17:27 Yes

I loved the campus and the people. I felt as if I was apart of UAB already. I definitely will be attending UAB in the fall and I have no doubt that I made the right choice. Yes

Being allowed to see the students during class and how enthusiastic very one was. I'm by far a visual learner and with the techniology and advancement that the school obtains I feel I will get the best oppurtunities and success from your college.

The Construction work was some what of a distraction while I was on the tour but in a way it was good to see that the school was still improving and expanding. 2012

1/14/2012 19:57 YesI am really excited to attend UAB in fall 2012 Yes Visiting the dorms

It was drizzling that day, but I do not find anything "least valuable" about my campus tour.

I loved the campus and also the dorms. I mainly came to visit so I could see the dorms, and also see around the campus. I LOVED the rec center as well; I will be spending A LOT of time in there when I attend. The trailblazer was very friendly and whatever questions I had, she answered them the best way she could. I will definitely be signing up for Camp Hall in about two weeks. Thank you for y'alls time as well. 2012

1/20/2012 8:11 Yes Yes

Just getting a feel for the way that the campus is laid out.

1/20/2012 14:56 Yes Yes

Getting to look at the dorms and here about all the extra services. For example the taxi's for students.

I thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip! 2012

1/29/2012 17:18 Yes Yes Stephanie was very nice :) 2012

1/30/2012 13:53 Yes

I was debating between Ole Miss and UAB, but now that I've toured both, I believe UAB has more options for me. Yes

Looking at the dorms. That was one of my main concerns, because I'll be five hours away from home. I like Camp Hall because of the apartment feel.

I had such a great time. I'd hate to pick!! 2012

1/30/2012 17:45 Yes

Beautiful campus. Very friendly people. Would be a great opportunity to use my G.I Bill to get educational goals back on track. Yes

2/3/2012 13:52 Yes

Orignially when I applied I wasn't expecting to attend. After I visited I was completely sold! I loved the school and the enviroment that it possessed. Yes

Just getting to see the campus and experience the diverse culture that is there. I really felt that I could fit in and succeed there because of that enviroment. I also enjoyed all of the information i got from the admissions Counselor.

Nothing....I enjoy absolutly every bit of the day!

Well I do wish that we would have had more access to certain buildings so that we could really see what was inside of them. Other than that nothing, everything was great and I loved it! 2012








2/3/2012 14:27 Yes

Seeing the campus in person and meeting the students made UAB seem more real to me; it became more of an option. Yes

I really enjoyed seeing the campus. The admissions counselor was very helpful also, but seeing the campus was a lot of fun.

I really can't say anything was not of "value." The tour was very helpful and nice. 2012

2/3/2012 19:09 Yes

Loved what the campus has to offer as well as the friendly and exciting atmosphere. Yes

All of the resources available in terms of the Library private study.

The outdoor section where we first stopped. I recall it being next to a business center I think. N/A. 2012

2/5/2012 15:25 No

Seeing the rooms in Blazer Hall, and getting to see where I'll live next year!

The rain I had to walk in, bu.t it wasn't enough to damper my experience. 2012

2/6/2012 21:20 Yes

Seeing the campus and the type of enviroment that UAB has was a great way to clinch my college interest. Yes

Seeing the rec center and the residence halls showed a lot of what UAB has to offer and it was very important to me to see the perks of being a student there.

Although it cant be helped i guess if I had to name a dislike it would be the amount of walking invloved in getting around.

I can't wait to join the blazers in the fall!! 2012

2/6/2012 22:09 Yes

The admissions counselor made sure that I had all the information I needed for financial aid, housing, meal plans, and much more. Yes

There was not a least valuable part. Every part of the tour was informative and helpful. 2012

2/7/2012 23:29 Yes

I basically just want to go to school. But it was good to hear information about all the extra "perks" of going to UAB like the student discounts to events and themeparks. Yes

Getting a feel for where all the different buildings are located, and how UAB will help me while at school, but also when I'm away from school.

It was supposed to be a tour geared towards transfer students, and I have no other tours to compare it to, but it didn't seem like a regular tour would be any different.

I was asked probably 50 times if I had any more questions in a period of 45 minutes. I didn't. It made me feel as if I should be asking more questions and that I was missing something. After asking if there are any questions, if there are none, maybe have an example question that people normally ask. It was only me and one guest on the tour, so I'm sure if there were more people, more questions would be asked.

2/8/2012 21:52 Yes

Yes! The University has been my top choice and visiting the campus for the second time makes me feel comfortable to attend the college. Yes

I had a couple of questions on the housing but all of them were answered and now i know everything i need to know.

Finding out that it is a very enviromental place and to find out there were landmarks based inside the campus.

The weather and not getting to observe in every building.

I strongly feel like this is the school for me and hopefully if their are no problems i will be attending this fall. 2012








2/9/2012 22:57 Yes Yes

Information given about the teacher to student ratio and how much help I will be able to get outside of the class.

2/11/2012 19:59 Yes

After visiting, I fell in love with UAB! It is my number one choice in schools right now! Yes

Seeing the residence halls. I really fell in love after seeing Blazer and Camp Hall.

All the walking, but where can you get away from that?

My attendance at UAB in the Fall of 2012 highly depends on scholarship money. It would have been nice if the admissions counselor could have mentioned some of the scholarships availble at UAB. 2012

2/12/2012 10:07 NoThe tuition is out of my reach..... Yes It was all valuable.

Thank you for the time you have put into the tour. 2012

Beautiful Campus and will benefit me most compared to all my other college choices. Yes

I would love to become a trailblazer 2012

2/20/2012 13:21 Yes Yes

Getting to see the dorms was the best part,in my opinion.

It was all valuable information to me.

It would be nice to be able to go into a classroom to see what it is like. 2012

2/20/2012 16:36 Yes

Before I took the tour I was really afraid the campus was really spread out through an unsafe neighborhood but after seeing how beautiful the campus is I want to come to school. Yes

More picture or a virtual tour on your website. 2013

2/20/2012 18:38 Yes

I really enjoyed my visit and was able to get an answer to all of my questions Yes

We were allowed to ask as many questions we needed to during the tour

I think being able to actually see the school it self was great because it adds a picture to all the info which is already available online.

Although the information was great I was more interested in just being able to see the school. I guess I had done enough reading on the website :) 2012

2/20/2012 19:20 Yes Yes 2014

2/21/2012 9:39 Yes

I love the dorms and i love the homely feel of the campus! Yes Seeing Blazer Hall The chemistry building.

Really enjoyed the tour and really liked what I saw. I will be attending in the fall and am looking forward to it. Thanks Yes

2/23/2012 12:05 Yes

I loved the feel of campus.But what sold me was the admission counselor he was so nice and i felt like he cared and he wasnt even my admission counselor. Yes

The housing and just walking around to see where every thing was

The tour guide was very friendly and the environment of the campus is exaclty what I am looking for! No

The tour guide was excellent but anytime the Admission Conselor was asked a question she would say to "Check the website," even though she already had it pulled up.

Made me happy with my decision to attend UAB.

The Admission Conselor meeting.

Have a friendly Admission Conselor that is willing to answer questions. 2012

2/24/2012 17:14 Yes Yes

Taking a look in the dorms and have the Trailblazer explain how everything works at UAB

In my opinion there wasn't a least valuable part. 2012

2/24/2012 20:00 YesReally like the feel to it for myself. Yes Seeing the campus.

Social time? Not really sure. 2012

2/25/2012 10:15 Yes

I have always wanted to go to UAB, since I was little. Yes

The most valuable part of the tour was the library.

There wasn't a least valuable part of the tour, to me. 2012

2/26/2012 15:44 Yes

Taking the tour cleared up the misconception that I had the campus was too spread apart. The tour also clarified that the campus does not feel like it sits downtown. Yes

The entire tour was valuable. N/A

It would have been beneficial to sit in on a class or atleast see a classroom. Also, I would have been helpful to know more about the classroom sizes. 2012

2/26/2012 17:14 Yes Yes

The walking tour and personal communication with the tour guide 2013








2/27/2012 14:35 Yes

The tour was great and it showed us the great resources available to my daughter as a student. The security was nice as well. Yes It was all valuable! WALKING!!

My only suggestion would be to invest in some sort of transportation for the guests. I have fibromyalgia and was in a lot of pain from all of the walking but wanted to be there every step with my daughter. I noticed a couple of parents had to go to their car to sit during the tour and didn't get to finish the tour with their child. That would be my only suggestion. 2013

2/27/2012 19:02 Yes

Because it made me understand the campus better and know how everything is at UAB. Yes

Touring the whole campus, and getting to know where everything is. It was all valuable. 2012

Seeing the dorms. I loved that. 2012

It offers the size of school I am looking for. I am also very interested in becoming a physical therapist and UAB has a long-standing program. Yes

Being able to see the various class setting and getting a first-hand look at the dorms. It was also good to get a better idea of the campus layout.

I can not say there was one.

I am also interested in the baseball and football programs at UAB. 2013

3/1/2012 21:41 Yes

The campus is absolutely beautiful and a lot of my questions concerning nursing were answered! Yes

I liked seeing the dorms, recreation center, and all the dinning halls. I also liked walking around and getting a feel for the campus. 2012

3/2/2012 13:51 Yes

UAB has always been my first choice, but yes, this tour gave me an understanding of how well UAB runs and treats incoming students. Yes

The most valuable part of the tour was seeing the dorms up close. Actually standing in the rooms gave me an accurate picture of where I will be living next year-especially since UAB does not have actual pictures of their dorm rooms on their website like other schools do.

I believe it was all very valuable.

There was a UAB student that rudely came and interrupted our campus tour. He was talking loudly in our group and the tour guides didn't ask him to leave or anything- that was a very uncomfortable moment for me and my parents because he was speaking in a inappropriate way and we could not hear our guides. 2012

3/4/2012 11:21 Yes

The campus was beautiful and had a lot more to offer than I previously thought. Yes

3/5/2012 0:42 Yes

I planned to attend before the tour but wanted to see the campus again and look at the dorms Yes

Very helpful. I decided which dorm I would request in my application Everything

I wish there was an option for an extra part that included sitting in on a freshman lecture in literature, psych, history or science 2012

3/5/2012 1:17 Yes Yes

SEEING WHERE MOST OF MY CLASSES WILL BE AND GETTING INFORMATION ON FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND SCHOLARSHIPS.

THE DORMS. I WILL BE LIVING AT HOME, SO OFFERING A TOUR THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THAT WOULD BE NICE. IT WOULD LEAVE MORE TIME FOR OTHER THINGS OR MAKE THE TIME SPENT SHORTER.

I KNOW THAT ONE APPLICATION ALLOWS YOU TO BE CONSIDERED FOR ALL SCHOALRSHIPS, BUT IT WOULD BE NICE TO INCLUDE LETTERS OF REFERENCE WITH YOUR APPLICATION SO THAT THE COMMITTEE HAS A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHO YOU ARE AND WHY YOU WANT OR NEED THE FINANCIAL HELP. THANK YOU FOR A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY TO ACHIEVE MY EDUCATION 2001

3/5/2012 13:50 Yes

Its a friendly environment and very friendly student and faculty body. Yes

Visiting freshman dorms and School of Nursing.

Visiting engineering and education departments.

The storm resulting in the rush of the tour. 2013

3/6/2012 16:41 Yes

Now that i have visited the campus, i realize why i wanted to attend UAB in the first place. The atmosphere of the campus is very friendly which is what i am looking for. Yes

The overall experience was great. There wasnt one.

The advisors were very helpful and frindly. 2013

3/6/2012 18:26 Yes Yes

Being able to ask personal questions about my TrailBlazer's major and how she enjoyed her college experience.

The Q&A Session with the Admission Counselor at the end. 2012

3/6/2012 21:22 Yes Yes

The most valuable part of my campus tour was seeing the campus itself and learning that it is a safe place to go to college.

I would have liked to see more of the campus.

The tour of the campus said nothing about the medical school. I would have liked to hear about it. 2013

3/7/2012 21:57 Yes Yes 2012

3/8/2012 17:23 Yes

Because prior to visiting campus, I was scared that the campus would be confusing and hard to navigate because of the area it is located in. After touring the campus, i liked it. Yes

Seeing the dorms in person, and getting a better idea of what life on campus would be like.

Seeing some of the larger lecture halls. 2012

3/8/2012 20:57 YesTons of resources, modern, facilities Yes Everything








3/10/2012 13:38 Yes

It was awesome to see the student community! I was pleasantly surprised! Yes Seeing the dorm rooms. 2012

3/10/2012 18:05 Yes

The campus was much nicer than I had expected, and I learned a few things about the school that made me love it even more. Yes

My conversation with an admissions counselor. Can't think of one.

My tour guide was very friendly and accommodated our tour to meet our personal needs. 2009

3/10/2012 20:31 Yes

I appreciated the new grassy area! It made UAB feel more like a college campus, instead of just a bunch of separate buildings with classes in them. No

The financial adviser did not seem very well informed, but to his defense, he did give us the information we needed to contact someone else.

I really enjoyed the tour guides (Deepa Etikala and Dahra Shah). Deepa is very similar to me (in personality and career path). She had good advice and was encouraging.

The admissions counselor seemed rather rushed. She was friendly, but her presentation was pretty much just showing us the website and giving us a vague overview of some of the scholarship opportunities. The main thing I learned from that was, "Go to the website if you want to know."

Back to the admissions counselor. I can go to the website at home. It would have been nice if we had gone to the specific parts of the website that pertained to me (there were only two students touring) so that I could read them and ask her my questions there. 2013

3/12/2012 17:18 Yes

Always wanted to go to UAB since I was young. Proud to be accepted and one day be a blazer. Yes

Getting to see the whole campus and feeling the atmosphere.

Nothing. Everything was delightful. 2012

3/12/2012 18:02 Yes Yes

Not having a smaller tour group to have more engaging and informational conversations. 2012

3/12/2012 20:50 Yes

I like the area and know a little bit more about the school. Yes

Ive been to quite a few schools touring around and one like I like was how it was a one on one experience with the admissions counselor. I felt as if I could explain my situation betterhen it was just her and I. I felt like I had a lot more questions I didnt ask because I didnt want to waste other peoples times. Causing me to still have many questions needing answers. But other than that the actual tour was 2012

3/14/2012 9:30 YesI know more about the life at uab now Yes

Seeing the dorms and gym 2012

3/14/2012 10:02 Yes Yes seeing the gym nothing 2010

The school was a lot better than I had expected. I think it was because I got to walk around and see the campus. Yes

3/18/2012 13:25 Yes

Finally seeing the campus and realizing how friendly everyone is and how beautiful the campus is made my mind up for me. Yes

I believe everything was valuable. The tour was just amazing!

There was nothing that wasn't valuable. 2013

3/18/2012 13:31 Yes Yes 2014

3/18/2012 13:39 Yes

I received most information that I needed, and got an inside view of student life at UAB. I appreciate everything! Yes

Getting to know, and map out UAB, meeting my admissions counselor, and getting advice on getting ready to start college.

I understand that the recreational center was a required part of the tour, but I did not think much of the recreational center. I wish I could have seen the music building(s).

I am currently taking Japanese level 4 under the Hawaii state education standards, and I was wondering if I could start taking Japanese at UAB at the equal level I finished? When can I audition for Marching Band & Jazz Ensemble at UAB? Thank You Very Much to the two tour guides and Mrs. Bowers for out of state financial advice! GO BLAZERS! 2012

3/18/2012 19:29 Yes Yes 2014

3/21/2012 11:01 Yes Yes

3/23/2012 1:42 Yes Yes The dorms

Standing in front of buildings and not going inside 2012

3/25/2012 10:53 Yes YesLearning where everything is on campus.

I really didn't have a least valuable part. I thought the tour was very helpful. 2012








3/25/2012 22:55 Yes

The tour was very informative, and seeing the campus first hand was helpful. Yes

Learning about the Honors Colleges and the Biology program was most valuable. The medical school opportunities that I learned about were also very valuable. None

I would have liked to attend the tour while school was in session, but due to Spring Break that was not possible. I find great value in being able to talk to other students about their experiences at the university. 2013

3/27/2012 10:45 Yes

I really enjoyed campus and Leann has been absolutely wonderful! No

Some questions were unclear because the tour guide was unfamiliar with the honors program and my major.

Seeing campus and students involved.

3/27/2012 16:16 Yes

3/28/2012 13:49 YesI love the campus and am very excited to attend. Yes

I really enjoyed seeing camp hall and the rec hall. It was great to get to know how to get around. I can't think of anything. 2012

3/28/2012 17:04 Yes

I liked the atmosphere of UAB, and I loved how I felt like an individual and not just a number at UAB. Yes

The most valuable part for me is actually seeing the students. I have been on a UAB Saturday tour and I loved it, but being there during the week and seeing student life on campus was neat!

The least valuable was the question and answer time, I really didn't need that time, because the questions I had were for the tour guides as students! 2012

3/28/2012 18:45 Yes Yes

Actually being able to see the campus, and become familar with everything. 2012

3/29/2012 15:20 YesI can see myself on the campus this fall Yes

meeting with the admissions counselor and also meeting with the financial aid advisor. feeling rushed on the tour.

It would be very beneficial if UAB offered support to those wanting to tour with physical disabilities. My mom had knee surgery many years ago and still cannot walk fast or far distances without a rest. After our tour, she was physically drained. For the next 3 days she could hardly walk. She pushed very hard to go up and down steps and to walk as fast as the tour guides has us walking. This should be addressed. 2013

The most valuable part was when the admission's counselor's actually explained to us about the different types of financial aid and scholarships UAB offers and how UAB is willing to work with the students.

Nothing at all was least valuable.

suggest a g s a e groups or being divided up that way their aren't so many people and just two trail blazers. So that way it would be a lot easier on the trailblazers and the people touring. Overall I loved the tour, campus, student life, and the different types of educational focuses rather than just one. 2012

4/2/2012 23:30 YesBecause I really like the people and the campus. Yes

Just knowing the whole time, that I was walking around where I will be spending the next four years of my life.

4/8/2012 11:26 No

Every time we walked out of buildings you smelled smoke. I suggest going to a smoke free campus. Yes

Seeing the rooms where you will spend most of your time. nothing

The smoke is bad. You need to go to a smoke free campus. Also I had to ask for a folder after the tour-you didn't hand them out. Maybe the group I was in wasn't a good one I don't know but we were interested.

4/10/2012 15:30 Yes

I really liked all that UAB had to offer. It also had a really nice campus. Yes

I honestly liked every part of it. 2012

4/16/2012 17:25 Yes

Because I could truly see my self there once I was able to actually see the school in full. Yes

4/23/2012 11:41 Yes

I feel that I gained all the information I needed and had all of my questions answered by the TrailBlazers and the admission counselor. Yes

Seeing all of the "hang out" spots around campus was very helpful. It was good to know that UAB offers both quiet places to study, but fun places to be with friends when you just need a break from the hectic college life!

All of the information was very useful!

Our tour was unable to see the room in Blazer Hall because a resident was taking a shower. I think it would be a good idea to have a back-up room for guests to view, just in case a situation like this took place again. 2012

Nothing was really less valuable. Everything was helpful.

We were lucky to be the only family on tour and were pleased that we could freely ask as many questions as we wanted. I know the two tour ladies and one young man trainee would probably have liked a larger group, but we were happy it was a small group. They did a great job!!! My son loved UAB!

The glasses were not really needed and though a nice gesture, could be one less expense for you. The water bottles were nice to have and provided relief along the tour! Thx!

Some of the info talked about after your, during financial time, would be nice to have on a sheet of paper. I believe it may be on website, but you have to go home and find all that. A paper would be nice to add to your file with the UAB handout given at the start of the tour. (GPA and ACT info we had to copy on scratch paper - know $ amounts could change, but at least you get an idea of amounts of scholarships.) 2013

For my mom, it was seeing the dorms. For me, it was getting my questions answered by the admissions counselor and the trail blazers. I was able to learn a lot from the tour.

I thought all of it was valuable, but I would have to say the video. We learned about everything we needed to know from the tour itself.

Loved the school ! It was a great tour; I really enjoyed it. Thank you all for the wonderful experience! 2013








7/1/2012 20:52 Yes

Currently, I am being drawn to a career in an allied health profession. UAB has so many options. Yes

To realize UAB had a campus in which classrooms, housing, and dining were so convenient. There was an emphasis on safety and security. Also, all the info about group outdoor trips off campus was something we didn't hear at other campuses. Really impressed with the Student Rec Center.

I know all the franchise foods are convenient, but maybe there could be more emphasis on a healthier diet.

g great to move among the tour group and talk with each of us individually. My family was not impressed with the UAB WEBsite, especially the "pig suturing" class. The instructor and the students were chewing gum. Didn't think that was too impressive. for a college class. They thought the text was too "laid back". 2013

7/1/2012 22:32 Yes

The entire team was extremely professional and gave us a lot of time to answer our questions. Yes

Absolutely yes!!!! The team did not rush us at all. All questioned were answered.

aust a ga e e t e insight to my career ambition, Healthcare Administration, and what it would take to be successful at UAB. I appreciated her time and valuable information and I am very interested in the Program. Jennifer Hudson was very informative about the admission process.

None!! Your team was GREAT!!!

My family and I loved UAB - thank you. 2013

7/3/2012 9:08 Yes Yes

The walking tour. Getting to see the campus was a big help.

Meeting with the admissions counselor. I was looking forward to this very much. The counselor talked very fast and made references to things he thought we would already know but we didn't. The important dates he gave, the website's he referenced all should have been on a sheet to hand out.

, p rates should have been on a sheet to give each family. I am wondering why the tour did not show any classrooms or show the cafeteria. Over all it was a good tour. I am an admissions counselor/director at a private high school and most families like to go a little slower and see as much as possible. 2013

7/4/2012 1:56 Yes

UAB made feel like I would be at home, away from home, if I were to attend this school. Yes

The most valuable part of my tour would be knowing I would be very much satisfied attending this college. Cant think of any! The tour was great! 2013

7/6/2012 12:28 YesVery nice campus, enjoyed the tour Yes

Seeing the facilities and hearing about the different aspects of the school.

The front desk staff was very rude and not friendly. When I walked in, I spoke and did not get a response. When I got to the front desk, the man did not look up and recognize me until he handed me the parking decal. I asked where we could eat and was given options to closed business (Taco Bell)

Overall, I enjoyed the tour and learned a lot about the school despite my inital welcome. 2013

7/6/2012 13:46 Yes

UAB has what I need to accomplish my academic goal. No

The tour was more geared to those who were freshmen and undegraduate, not graduate students. Thus, had to seek further information after the tour.

I didn't know that there were so many new facilities here. Also, I was afraid of being in the city, but that is no longer a concern of mine because I know I'll be safe. Yes

The dorms were the thing I was most concerned about, so I am glad the tour provided us with a visit there.

Thank You for helping me make an informed desicion and I can't wait to hopefully enroll Fall 2013. I did just have one question about fraternities and soroties that I forgot to mention during the tour. I baisically just want to know do you guys offer the Divine Nine ? 2013

7/17/2012 10:19 Yes

It gave both myself and my mother a better feel for everything that the campus has to offer. The security measures to ensure my safety put my mom a little more at ease. No

We have a lot of questions that mostly pertain to the Nursing program. We realize that these questions must be answered seperately from the general camput tour.

Dorm life, campus security and the realization that the campus is somewhat more secluded than we orginally thought it to be.

There was a little too much detail of the individual buildings. It's great information just too much to take in on a 2 hour tour. 2013

My daughter thought it would be just an urban campus with a lot of buildings. She was pleasantly surprised to find it to be a traditional campus with acitvities and programs. Yes Seeing the residence halls. It was all good.

Since we are interested in programs related to the medical field. We would have liked to have a little bit of the medical side of the campus included in our tour. But the Ambassadors were great!!!

Learned that UAB has a lot more opportunities than I expected. Music is going to be my major, so I am excited to hear you are building a new music building. Yes

The one on one talk we had with the Admission Counselor before the other family got there. We had a lot of our questions answered before the tour which was nice. We had two tour guides and there were only two of us we were able to ask questions and get answers while walking around the campus.

I would have to say that we didn't get a sheet listing the Music Major's offered and class listing under eat Major. I did ask for that but I forgot to ask again at the end of the tour and the Admission's counselor forgot too. I will be contacting you about that later.

Since this was my second tour. I only have one question at the present and that is what Music Major's are available and the classes you have to take for each Major. 2014

8/5/2012 16:00 Yes

Getting to talk to the tour guides about my specific questions about the campus. They were very friendly, and were able to answer all of my questions and even though one girl didn't know the answer she said she would e mail me about it. Although, there may need to be at least one male tour guide.

Going to the cafeteria. We didn't even get to see it we just went inside the lobby. Pointless!

thinking that I was absolutely set on going to Tennessee, but the tour surprised me and it turns out that I loved the campus and all the amenities that the old campus here in Knoxville doesn't have. Even if I don't end up ere or undergrad, I will highly consider it for graduate programs! Thanks! 2013

8/6/2012 10:31 Yes

Everyone was so friendly and helpful. They gave us very detailed information and answered all questions completely. Yes

Talking with the trailblazers and the admissions counselor; they all gave me all the information that i needed in order to get started at UAB.

For me, it was the dorm room tour, but that is only because I live really close to campus and had no need for them. Keep up the great job! 2006

8/6/2012 14:36 Yes

It is a very friendly and welcoming school. The nursing program is simply amazing as well. Yes

Learning about the nursing program. Also being educated on the dedication of the teachers and students.

Learning about scholarships/grants. Learning deadlines for admissions. History of the area of UAB.

y to come when school is in and not during the summer when school is out so you can see everything in action. We were not able to see inside any of the dorm halls at all. Very disappointing. Buildings seem old, but not in the traditional old manner. Just out of date and ugly , old contemporary. 2013

8/17/2012 0:29 Yes Yes

I liked being able to visit the different dining halls and the library.

The dorms and the presentation were the most valuable.

I learned something from all of it but the stop to know about the vending machines was not necessary but was funny.

8/25/2012 0:06 Yes

It is close to my home, better priced, and I LOVED the campus! It had a great feeling of a small closed off area, but the city life of down-town Birmingham. Yes

I got to see the college that my best friend wants to go to, and I got to hear the drum line practicing while walking.

I had to rush around, and we did not get to stop a look at a lot of things.
