Student Life
Live the Blazer Life
There’s more to being a Blazer than just being a student. We have lots of clubs, activities, and traditions to keep you involved and make memories to last a lifetime. Every day, we do our best to create a safe, fun, and inclusive environment for everyone to feel welcome.
Make yourself at home.
The housing on campus here’s pretty sweet. Really sweet. It has 24/7 security. All sorts of amenities. And you couldn’t ask for a better location. Don’t forget to check out our newest freshman residence, Green Hall.
Try something new.
We’ve got clubs. We’ve got traditions (Gurney Derby, anyone?). We’ve got service organizations. We’ve got all sorts of ways for you to get involved here at UAB.
Be part of the campus culture.
At UAB, we encourage you to be yourself. From our burgeoning sports teams and thriving city to our beautifully groomed campus and so much more, we’re proud of our environment here at UAB.
Traditions to be a part of.
UAB has many traditions. But some of our favorite include gurneys, food, fancy footwork, and being a service to our community.
Meet different people. Learn new perspectives.
Part of your education (and fun) at UAB come from your peers – Blazers come from all over the world with different experiences and perspectives to share with you… and learn from yours.
Feel safe and secure.
We take campus safety seriously. That’s why we have 70 UAB police officers, blue phones across campus, free self-defense classes, and so much more.
