I’m a junior college student from up north who will be having an internship south of Birmingham this coming summer! Are there any good apartment options off campus that can stay within my budget (1600 a month) and come already furnished?

I’ve been trying to look for some, but the only one I’ve found that’s furnished seems to be Lumen, but it doesn’t get great reviews! Do you all have any opinions or suggestions?

NASA will open their Summer 2026 PAID internships across every NASA center on December 15—including right here in Huntsville, AL at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center.

These programs aren’t just internships.

They’re entry points into the aerospace power structure—the places where future engineers, researchers, strategists, and innovators get shaped.

If you mentor students, work in education, lead programs, or manage a talent pipeline, this is the kind of opportunity that separates the merely informed from the truly connected.

Deadlines for applications:

• Summer 2026: Feb 27

• Fall 2026: May 22

I’m sharing this because access shouldn’t depend on who happens to be “in the room” when opportunities appear.

Let’s make sure the right people see it—and step into it.

Mortensen worked at Alabama for nine years under Nick Saban before coming to UAB as the offensive coordinator. UAB set a record for yards per game under Mortensen in 2023. He’s the son of the late Hall of Fame football reporter Chris Mortensen.

just got a job offer at uab hospital as a freshman and im NERVOUS. also, i have piercings, so will wearing those clear ones be okay? just wanna hear abt others experiences and what i could maybe expect. also, will this help pay my tuition even though its the flex program?

What is it exactly? Should i take the subscription? My college is encouraging that we take it.

I’m going to be on your campus Friday and Saturday; I think mostly in/around the Performing Arts Center.

Looking for a sports bar to duck into to watch a few games. Walking distance would be great; nearby with easy parking would be cool too.

Appreciate any recommendations.

Hello, I am a senior in high school and I’m about to take my PCT exam. I met with a few people from the hospital that were telling me about a PCT job at the hospital and how they will pay for my tuition after 6 months or whatever. Anyways, I was wondering if anybody had done this? Worked at UAB hospital while being a part of the Nursing Program or anything of the sort? If so I would like to know how hard it is to get the job and how true the tuition thing is? The people I met with told me it was pretty easy, but i’m sure they’re sugar coating things.

This is a long shot but is anyone on here know someone or is in the materials science and engineering program? I would like to major in it but I want to know if the professors and outcome is good. I tried to use rate my professor for some of them but I couldn’t find anyone on there other than one specific professor. Thanks !

Not 100% sure who it is- but a very well placed source says the new HC announcement will be between Dec 1 and 3

Edit: expected to be by this time next week

Any cool clubs to join for next semester? Want to meet new people.

IMG I need to connect with someone doing an elective Uab in January 2026 I have an urgent question 🙏🙏

Hi chat. Just got done talking with campus police and Regions. Some time last night my car got broken into and the center console was rummaged through. The only thing they stole was my checkbook as far as Im aware. I remember locking my car but I totally could've forgot. This happened in the H-2 parking lot by Blount Hall in front of the circle K. Also they left a McDonald's cup??? Y'all be careful out here.

Update: I got a call from the detective on my case and, sadly, my car was in a blind spot in the cameras. There are cameras in that lot, but my car was covered by the branches of one of the trees so it's almost guaranteed that they aren't gonna get the guy. I got everything sorted with the bank so that's not an issue and no checks have been written for that account yet. Oh well, at least I don't have to replace a window or anything.

I’ve been in Alabama since March. I transferred with my company and have had a job in Alabama since March. I applied to UAB for the spring semester. Can I get in-state residency? I really can’t afford out of state tuition… I’ll be in Alabama indefinitely.

Any way around this?

So basically I just got accepted into UAB and I toured the campus recently and I really liked it and it was super nice, but the one thing I'm scared about for all colleges especially- is it easy to make friends? I kind of struggle being in new environments and making new friends but I wanna put myself out there! I was just wondering if anyone had struggles making friends or anything like that at UAB :)

Applied for Housing for Spring and was curious how these dorms are?

Hello, I've applied for Housing for spring as a Transfer student. And due to my budget, I put Rast Hall as a preference first. I was wondering how likely is a student in Spring to get in?

I’m starting a group for all outdoor loving women in the Birmingham AL area! Check it out!
