UAB is so close to the Birmingham community in a way that students can see their impact in real time. The way we uplift and support the Bham community is amazing and a lot of students who intern or work at the hospitals are directly benefiting Birmingham citizens. It's something I couldn't find anywhere else, the way UAB loves its city.
Favorite thing to do in Birmingham?
Going to Railroad park to picnic as the sun sets! Its a gorgeous time of day and you get to see the Alabama Theater light up as the sun goes down and reflects off of the sky scrapers.
Favorite UAB memory?
The water balloon fight on The Green! We had a massive water balloon battle for all UAB students my freshman year in our first few weeks of school, and even our professors joined in and let us out of class to participate. It was a great way for me to meet new people as well!
