Georgia – University of Alabama – USA<\/h3>\n

Semester 2, 2022<\/h4>\n

Bachelor of Urban Development (Honours)<\/h4>\n

The semester that I spent at the University of Alabama was without a doubt the best six
\nmonths of my degree, and quite possibly the most fun and exciting of my life so far. I made
\nsome amazing friends, both international and American, and had some experiences that felt
\nstraight out of a movie.<\/p>\n

I chose the University of Alabama as my first choice as I was really looking to get the
\nAmerican college experience and given that Bama has one of the nation\u2019s top college
\nfootball teams, and was ranked as the no.1 party school in the USA by Barstool Sports, I
\nwas quite sure a lot of fun was to be had.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Accommodation<\/h4>\n

My year we had a choice between three accommodation types: Burke Hall, The Rotary
\nHouse, and the Highlands. While it would have been nice to have my own room, I knew
\nimmediately that I did not want to stay at the Highlands as it was one the other side of
\ncampus and I didn\u2019t want to be too far away from the action.
\nI stayed in the Rotary House (or as we affectionally called it: ROHO) which is a house near
\nthe centre of campus near where the fraternities, \u2018the Quad\u2019, and Bryant-Denny stadium are
\nlocated. This was really convenient as the majority of what I needed was within a 15-minute
\nwalk.<\/p>\n

I loved the Rotary House as it is equipped with a kitchen, and a living area which included a
\npool table and ping pong table, and a backyard. The house was comprised about twelve
\npeople approximately half international students\/half American. We were all quite good
\nfriends in the house, and I personally felt it was the perfect mix of getting the American
\nexperience, while also meeting internationals, two of whom \u2013 Coralie and Ash – were from
\nFrance and became my best friends while on exchange.<\/p>\n

The drawbacks I would say about ROHO are that it has shared rooms, where you will have a
\nroom between two people (which are actually a decent size compared to the dorm rooms),
\nand a bathroom shared between maximum four people. Given that there are a bunch of
\nyoung adults co-living, it could get a bit messy, especially the kitchen, which was a bit
\nfrustrating. Also, there may be a requirement to take an additional class to live in the house,
\nwhich I thought was going to be a big deal, but it really was not.<\/p>\n

Overall living in the Rotary House was possibly the best decision I made when coming on
\nexchange, and I was even luckier still as my roommate for an unknown reason never
\nshowed up to the university, and I therefore had my own room for the semester. If you think
\nyou could manage having roommate, I would definitely recommend the Rotary House, but if
\nnot, quite a lot of people also stayed in the Highlands, which also looked like a lot of fun. It is
\nunlikely you will have the option to stay off campus, but even if you are given the option, I
\ndefinitely would not recommend it – public transport is abysmal, and most of the fun aspects
\nof the university are located on campus.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Social life<\/h4>\n

Alabama is know for two things primarily: football and Greek life.<\/p>\n

If you apply to go on exchange for the Fall semester you will be there for the football which is
\none of the most incredible experiences. The Bama football team the \u2018Crimson Tide\u2019 is
\nessentially the pride and joy of Alabama and therefore the games are amazing. Great crowd
\natmosphere (especially if you manage to get \u2018lower bowl\u2019 tickets, which I definitely
\nrecommend doing at least once). Prior to the games there is also \u2018tailgating\u2019 where
\nessentially the whole Alabama community has a BBQ on the Quad outside the stadium in
\npreparation for the game, where the marching band plays, and everyone is wearing crimson.
\nNeedless to say it was extremely fun and nothing like I have before experienced. Also the
\nunofficial anthem of Bama is \u2018Dixieland Delight\u2019 by \u2018Alabama\u2019, you\u2019ll definitely know this song
\noff by heart by the end of your exchange – it was so much fun yelling the additional lyrics
\nUniversity of Alabama students have added in as well!<\/p>\n

Greek life is the sororities and fraternities, where there are so many on campus. One thing I
\nwas concerned with prior to going onto exchange was that I would not be able to do as much
\nas I was not in a sorority but thankfully this was absolutely not true. As a girl I was very lucky
\nas it was quite easy to get into frat parties, where I saw Ceelo Green, and Noizu perform
\ncompletely free in the backyard of a fraternity house. For the boys I will admit it would be
\nsignificantly harder to get into frat parties, however some of my guy friends were still able to
\nenter some.<\/p>\n

Despite this, I found that the frat parties were actually a bit overrated, and I always had the
\nmost fun on \u2018the Strip\u2019 which is down the main road of campus where all the bars and clubs
\nare located. Galettes particularly on \u2018Wine Wednesday\u2019 was a favourite amongst me and my
\nfriends \u2013 and if you go there have an iconic yellowhammer drink!
\nIf you are over 21 and want to go to the bars, fortunately most places actually allowed me to
\nuse my Australian drivers licence, which was great as I didn\u2019t feel too comfortable taking my
\npassport out with me on a night out.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Classes<\/h4>\n

I was lucky enough that I had four elective subjects and decided to take four
\ncommunications subjects ranging from level 200-300. I took these classes because I thought
\nthey would be interesting and honestly pretty easy. And believe me; they were very easy. A
\nlot of the class was based on participation and attendance, so along as you are engaged
\nand hand in the assignments you should be golden. I will mention however, near the end of
\nthe semester I probably unwisely began to skip one of my classes as it was at an
\ninconvenient time. While I thought I was going to be fine because I was getting A\u2019s in my
\nassignments, I very nearly failed the class because of my lack of attendance, so just be
\naware of what the attendance requirements of your classes are.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Other Considerations<\/h4>\n

Bama is located in Tuscaloosa, one hour away from the nearest airport which is located in
\nBirmingham. Without a car it is definitely not the easiest place to travel to and from, so I
\nwould keep that in mind if you were intending to do a lot of travel while you are on exchange.
\nSimilarly, most of what I needed was either on campus, or a reasonable walk away, however
\nit was a bit painful getting around Tuscaloosa without a car as American cities in general are
\nextremely automobile dependant.<\/p>\n

If you asked me prior to going on exchange what my biggest fear was, it was that I would not
\nmake any friends, but trust me, you absolutely will, you meet so many people in your first
\nweek and become close pretty quickly.<\/p>\n

Prior to going on exchange the Bama international office hosted an information session,
\nwhere after that we made a group chat to meet the other international exchange students.
\nThis was great to get to know people beforehand so would definitely recommend.<\/p>\n

Overall, I am so appreciative of the time I spent in Alabama, where I know I will always look
\nback on the Fall of 2022 with very happy memories. I am so excited for you to go on
\nexchange and hope you have as a great time as I did.<\/p>\n

Sweet home and Roll Tide!<\/p>\n
