Green Scene
UAB may be located in the heart of downtown Birmingham, but our campus feels like a world apart. For starters, we have a lush Campus Green that’s typically filled with students playing, relaxing, studying, picnicking—you name it. More than 4,000 trees all over campus offer shade, clean air, and beauty. We even have space for you to grow your own garden. How cool is that? We’d love to show you around — in person or virtually.
Meet People, Make Friends
Campus Scene
Being a Blazer is about so much more than academics. We have 18 NCAA Division 1 sports teams, 20 club and intramural teams, 28 Greek organizations, 250 campus organizations, and one mighty sweet, state-of-the-art student center. Want to know more?
The Magic City
City Scene
We can’t imagine a cooler city than Birmingham for a university like us to call home. Did you know there are 1.3 million people in and around this area? Birmingham is bustling with activity—entertainment, business, outdoor activities, you name it—and at UAB, we’re in the middle of it all. Our restaurants are among the best in America. We have more urban park space than you can imagine. And then there’s our museums, performing arts, sports. We’ve got it all. Let us show you around the Magic City. You’ll love what you see.
