<p>I’m not comfortable saying the school I attend, but it is ranked in the top 50 of LACs according to the USNews report. </p>
<p>I’m actually from Alabama. I live in the Mobile area, so I’m familiar with the school. It is just difficult to get direct opinions because people either love it or hate it, but the football team is more of an influence on their opinions. </p>
<p>I want to make an official visit, but the problem is time. I don’t have a chance to make it to Tuscaloosa while I’m also in school. Also, quite honestly, my parents are very against me considering the school. They do believe it is a major downgrade, but they haven’t taken the time to research it. I have visited the campus before just to go to a football game, and it is very nice. It felt welcoming, which I liked. </p>
<p>I am an English Major, and I am not really interested in Auburn. I like the Alabama campus better. Plus, I have more friends who go to Alabama, and, for the sake of being honest, I’ll say that that’s definitely a plus simply because if I decide to transfer to a school significantly bigger than the one I currently attend, I would like to at least know some people to help me get my bearings. </p>
<p>“Both my kids went to a very small private high school (less than 300 students total), so I was concerned how a large campus would affect them (especially since one of my kids is quite shy). It hasn’t been a problem at all.”
This makes me feel better because I am shy and slightly worried the large campus might be too much for me.</p>
