Tuscaloosa

Pros of

• “There’s a good atmosphere whether it’s football season or not” 

• “It’s a college town.” 

• “It’s small and realistically you could walk places.”

• “The college does bring a lot of cool things to Tuscaloosa. There’s cool culture if you look for it. Like, the first Friday of each month the art galleries are free to the public.” 

• “People are very nice down here. Almost too nice.” 

Cons of

• “It’s in Alabama.” 

• “It’s far from a major airport.” 

• “There’s not great restaurants. There’s not a good variety of healthy choices, it’s a lot of fast food chains.”

• “If you’re from the North, it’s a large cultural change. The college campus kind of creates a bubble, but sometimes it’s noticeable that you’re in the deep south.” 

• “Football ruins the first semester because everything gets so expensive and hard to get to because people flood the town.”
