The University of West Alabama

Visited with my son for a college tour. Enjoyed the overall experience. Everyone we met was friendly and helpful. And our tour guide was WONDERFUL! The information received about the university as well as the available programs is exactly what we need to make a decision on where my son will eventually attend. Good day !!!

I’ve been waiting for my transcripts to be evaluated for a month and couple of weeks . I’ve never experienced such unprofessional guidelines. I have miss two start dates for the RN BSN. I’ve been to multiple universities and never has it taken this long to complete a transcript evaluation. This school doesn’t even offer a RN MSN degree to specialize as a Nurse Practitioner. You would think they would take the BSN enrollment more seriously before they lose students to other schools that do offer those other programs. What an embarrassment I would not recommend.

Awesome UWA! Attended a basketball game.

In my opinion no stars because the school take forever to respond, they will make claims of your transcripts is unofficial even though it clearly been seen especially if you need to turn in your ACT scores because how you GPA isn't over 2.5. They don't do backup ACT tests or any other test to schedule your enrollment in school, you're gonna have to pay the ACT board to retake it. Scamming parents and young adults out of their money if you or your child doesn't fit their requirements but expecting you to be there for next semester.

My son had a High School tennis match there. It was a very nice , clean and very friendly place to visit. What parts of the campus we saw had a covered bridge there with lake running under it very pretty scenery.

Good academic and sport school to graduate.

Do not attend this school. I was a nursing student back in 2012. I had to drop out in 2013 because of rude, selfish, non verbally abusive, catty, and verbally abusive instructors, and I was cheated on one test for 5 correct answers. They randomly throw out 5 questions on the exam to decide on who they will let progress in the nursing program. I had to pay back $2094.00. The teachers are very rude and selfish. All they care about is money. They are intentionally failing the minorities students for money interest. Some of the instructors are verbally abusive, but they are non verbally abusive the most. They do not know how to communicate with people properly. I have been verbally abused and non verbally abused by 4 instructors and had to withdraw and attend another college from here because of this. The nursing program here is not for beginners. You have to be a Certified Nursing Assistant or License Practical Nurse to progress in the nursing program here. They knew about this and kept this a secret as nonverbal and verbal abuse and manipulation to scam people out of there financial aid. I had wasted $23,000 of my financial aid attending this school. I should have attended Coastal Alabama Community College for Practical Nurse and then went back to Meridian Community College for Registered Nurse, but it is all good. I had finished my business degree with accounting minor at Mississippi State University. I had been racially discriminated by 2 instructors and 1 advisor. I had been racially discriminated by some students with one group assignment. They are only passing the majority students who has no nursing degree or background and 1 minority student graduate with or without a nursing degree or background yearly. I had to resubmit my fingerprint with the human resource department at Rush Foundation Hospital. When I was attended the Nursing program back in 2012, they had students from 2010 still in nursing program. This was a red flag, and this was also a red flag when I had to resubmit my fingerprint, when I was cheated out of 5 questions that I had answered correctly on one, and when I was been nonverbally and verbally abused by 2 instructors on my clinical checkoff. I was getting catty behaviors from 2 nursing instructors Mrs. Hill and Mrs. Mary Hanks, 1 psychology instructor Mrs. Bonnie Allen, and 1 accounting instructor Mrs. Sharon Stripe. They are some of the bullies and karmics at University of West Alabama. Mrs. Stripe and Mrs. Allen were the privileged as the majority group while Mrs. Hill and Mrs. Hanks were not privileged as the minority group. I had been experienced this catty behavior as nonverbal and verbal abuse to try control me, change me, and play GOD in my life from students and instructors since my childhood. Mrs. Hill and Mrs. Hanks are fully responsible for failing the nursing students and causing nursing students withdrawals and drop outs because of their verbal and nonverbal abuse. They are a disgrace, a sell out, and a huge embarrassment to us minority women for holding us back in the education, justice, and employment system and our social economic status with their cattiness behavior as nonverbal and verbal abuse. The majority men and women are the blame for dividing us minority men and women for materialistic and money as nonverbal and verbal abuse and manipulation. Mrs. Bonnie Allen who is another nonverbal abuser as withholding information, and Mrs. Sharon Stripe who is another verbal abuser and nonverbal abuser as criticizing, mockery, and ignoring as verbal manipulators are racist, and this institution is racist. Mrs. Hill who is the verbal abuser as criticizing and withholding information as verbal manipulation and Mrs. Mary Hanks who is the nonverbal abuser as withholding information, hiding items, and silent treatment as verbal manipulation are the blame for destroying and corrupting my confidence of becoming a Registered Nurse with their verbal and nonverbal abuse and manipulations as catty behavior. I wanted to become a Nurse Anesthetist, and they took that away from me.

Baseball team cant afford to tip any money when they sit around for 2 hours. Causing the whole restaurant to slow down due to the 60 burgers they ordered so everyone else got there food late. Rude and terrible group of people you should look into finding someone else to represent your school.

I graduated from this University May 1993; the Ira Pruitt School of Nursing. I continue to read about the school, especially the sports! I highly recommend UWA. My friends have graduated in Education and reported to me they really liked being there. The staff are very helpful year around.

Courses expire after a few years. That’s fair. What’s not is the material when taking them again is the same??? So why an expiry? Options to take other courses in place of them isn’t even possible. Zero flexibility. 100% CASH GRAB.
