<p>Our hour-long visit with Dean Hardin during our campus visit was a MAJOR DETERMINING FACTOR in DD’s decision to apply/attend 'BAMA.</p>
<p>We initially met him at the Houston reception last spring, and he is as smart, caring and personable as they come.</p>
<p>Getting Dean Hardin out in front of the crowds is genius!!!</p>
<p>Completely agree TXArchitect! </p>

<p>The 4th paragraph in his bio aptly captures one of many reasons DS chose UA. ROI and (hopefully) job placement opportunities. DS was accepted into McCombs (accounting major) however could not turn down the Presidential scholarship/Honors Program/Int’l Honors Program/Emerging Scholars Program/generous AP credits allowed/++ that UA offered him. This leaves him with his college fund intact to pursue an MBA at the school of his choice. All that and a national championship football team!!</p>
