<p>I’m looking at studying chemistry and going on to a high ranking grad school. The NMF merit aid from UA is very enticing, but is it a good tradeoff for the quality of the program? And how would UA compare to other programs like Illinois, wisconsin, etc…</p>
<p>Where did you decide to go?</p>
<p>Bama is currently building a lot of new buildings that are for science and engineering so the facilities will be great</p>
<p>UA has a lot of opportunities to do undergraduate research. And not just working in a chemistry lab scrubbing vials, but actual research assisting and working with professors and ph.d students. That opportunity will definitely look great on your resume.</p>

<p>Should say, UA Science and Engineering Complex takes National Award!</p>
