<p>hello ( my 1st post woop)</p>
<p>i am intrested in a number of universities but i am curious as to what the difference is between the;</p>
<p>university of alabama and
university of alabama at huntsville</p>
<p>are they seperate universities or are they the same?</p>
<p>thanks a million :p</p>

<p>They are separate universities. The state of Alabama has a university system with a number of different universities in it, such as: Auburn U, U of Alabama, U of Alabama at Huntsville, U of North Alabama, U of Alabama at Birmingham, and Alabama State University. The University of Alabama is a much better school than UA-Huntsville. It’s the flagship (the main research university in the state) and arguably the best one (you could make a case for Auburn University). Does that answer your question? </p>
<p>But why Alabama in the first place? I see you’re from the UK… have you ever been to Alabama? If you’re going to go to a school in the US, I wouldn’t recommend going there. It’s not that great of a state, IMO. UA isn’t a bad school, but if you’re going to come to college in the US, I would suggest going someplace nicer…</p>
<p>Yes, they are different schools. One commanly known would be the University of Alabama located in Tuscaloosa, AL.</p>
<p>Each state has its own operating rules for its public system of colleges and universities. Sometimes the UofX at Y is a BRANCH campus of the UofX. This means that your diploma and transcript will be the same no matter whether you finish your degree at the main campus or at a branch campus. Sometimes the UofX at Y and the UofX at Z are two completely independent public universities that determine their own degree requirements, and award their own diplomas. There are still other cases where UofX at Y is actually a private university, and UofX at Z is a public university.</p>
<p>Stinks, I know. You’ve just gotta do a lot of research to figure it all out.</p>
<p>Wishing you all the best.</p>
