Senior year of high school was a blur, people always told me it would be over before I knew it and they were right. Although it was a blur I still had to make sure everything was going according to plan in order for me to be able to attend South in the Fall. I compiled a list of 5 things that senior in high school should be doing to prepare for their freshman year of college. 1. Focus on your grades! I can't begin to tell you how important this one is. My senior year I needed to work my tail off in order to get the GPA I needed to get a scholarship at South, which meant forfeiting some time with friends. But that's okay! The scholarship is worth it. 2. Find time for friends Yes, this is sort of contradicting the first one but it is also important. Many of your friends will be going off to different schools and it will be hard to see them in the future. So take time to cherish those moments. 3. Think about whether or not you can handle a job freshman year My freshman...

Applying to your dream college can be nerve-racking, but the moment you get that acceptance letter, everything changes. All the hard work in high school finally paid off and you'll be off to college in no time. I was in New York visiting family when I woke up to a text from my dad, it was a picture of my acceptance letter! I jumped out of bed and ran downstairs to show my family and everyone was so excited for me. I was especially excited because I was rewarded the Presidential Scholarship which would give me $3,500 a year! I think that applying to the University of South Alabama was the best choice and the faculty made the process very easy and straight-forward which I was very thankful for. So don't wait, apply today!

Hello, my name is Nikki and I'm a sophomore here at South Alabama. I knew early on in high school that the University of South Alabama would be the college I would attend, in fact it was the only college I applied to! I had known that I wanted to be trauma nurse when I grew up so I had looked into colleges in Alabama that would give me the best education for that and that led me to South. Plus, another great thing about South is that it's an hour away from Gulf Shores! Upon attending, I knew that I had made the right choice because the faculty/staff have been incredibly helpful in ensuring that I get the best education in order to fulfill my dream of being a trauma nurse.
