The University of Alabama

Program Info

The University of Alabama is the flagship public university of the state, located in Tuscaloosa, a mid-sized city in west-central Alabama along the Black Warrior River, roughly an hour southwest of Birmingham. As a large research university, it anchors a classic Southern college-town atmosphere where campus life and the surrounding community are closely linked, and where college athletics are a central part of local identity. Tuscaloosa offers a walkable campus core, a warm climate well suited to year-round tennis training, and the amenities of a college city — restaurants, music, and cultural events — paired with easy access to outdoor recreation in the region. For student-athletes, it’s a place that pairs a recognizable academic institution with an energetic, sports-engaged community.
