<p>DS has been selected to the honors college and received the Foundation in Excellence Scholarship. </p>
<p>Good stuff! Waiting on a few other scholarships that he applied to when he submitted his application. It’s all good, this now puts him in a window of Mom & Dad giving the green light to go.</p>
<p>Hi Longhaul,
I received your message and attempted to reply. But since I have less than 15 posts, I was not able to do so. Is there a way around this? Or would it be OK with you if I reply publicly? Thanks.</p>

<p>Any else you’d like to mention: I am really interested in attending UA but I am worried about the distance. If anyone has any advice for me, please let me know!</p>
<p>Lhollander, welcome. If you have looked any any of the other posts, you will see that many of our kids are from OOS. Mine is from WI. The only problem we have had because of the distance is plane problems (especially last week). The University was very accommodating to the kids who missed classes because of travel difficulties. Otherwise I don’t think the distance really matters. Also, if you have the stats to apply to the honors college, you might want to rethink your decision not too. My oldest who is at UA thinks being in the honors college is worth it, if only for early registration.</p>
<p>Yes, when the nation has crazy weather like it did last week, then air transportation became a crazy issue. However, that’s not the norm and the school does work with those situations.</p>

Any else you’d like to mention: Concerned UA is the right school for me… Far from home, extremely southern, and a HUGE school. I come from a high school of 400 students and I’m afraid of a culture shock- I’m joining Greek life as well as other organizations to help me assimilate nicely. On another note, I’m afraid of not getting a bid being from oos… Any advice about why I should attend will be greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>Welcome!</p>
<p>Bama isn’t an “extremely southern” school. I’ve visited schools that are very southern, and Bama isn’t one. </p>
<p>As for getting bids. You need recs. Some of us here can help you with that. Ahpimommy has lots of info for you. I’ll look in our Bama sticky thread and see if there is a link there. If not, we’ll try to add one.</p>
<p>Have all of you new folks looked thru the Bama sticky thread? If not, you should.</p>
