Great campus, amazing facilities

UAB offers you an outstanding education to go along with a supportive academic and social experience. In addition to its world-class faculty, the university will help you outside the classroom by providing a wide variety of academic services and resources.

The university is continually investing. Most recently, UAB built the new Hill Student Center, which opened in December 2015. This impressive facility provides space for student activities, gatherings and services, as well as meeting and conference. You’ll find upgraded dining facilities, a stadium-style theater, a 2-story bookstore and a technology store. There’s also the One-Stop Student Service Center for admissions, course registration, student accounting, parking, financial aid and student ID functions.
