<p>I’m going to be visiting UA’s campus this Friday and I was wondering if anybody could give me some “must see” things around or on campus that isn’t normally included in a tour. Do they show us the dorm rooms and residential life as well? Thanks.</p>
<p>If you’re only set up for the normal tour…then…</p>
<p>Ask to see the dorms…if you qualify for honors, ask to see the honors dorms.</p>
<p>Touring dorms is not part of the regular tour.</p>
<p>If you have the stats for the Honors College, then go by there.</p>
<p>What is your major? </p>
<p>Do you need restaurant recs?</p>
<p>If you qualify for honors…</p>
<p>send an email ASAP to Allison Verhine in the Honors College </p>
<p>In the email, include:</p>
<p>tour time and date
student name & contact info
test scores and GPA
(if a likely NMF, indicate so)
intended major
professional interests (pre-med, pre-law, pre-dental, etc)
interest in Computer Based Honors program and/or University Fellows Program (if desired)
Also, include any thing else that interests you about the school…such as touring the new Science and Engineering Complex and Shelby Hall. </p>
<p>Allison will arrange the rest of the day…meeting with dept heads, honors faculty, touring honors dorms, etc.</p>

<p>We toured earlier this summer and my girls loved the Bear Bryant Museum. Being from Chicago it gave us a great overview of the history of Alabama football. </p>
<p>Also have to recommend Rama Jama, right next to the stadium! Have a great trip-</p>
<p>Thanks guys! Can’t wait to see what it’s like!</p>
