Res Life @ Alabama is notoriously shitty. All of my friends at other universities have it so good compared to what I had. I only lived on campus for one year. I actually moved off campus to save money. Yeah. The dorm I lived in was finished the week I moved in, and it was supported a lot by private grants (I was in an honors type living learning program) It was gorgeous! (And also $1700 per semester) A bit small, but the architecture was beautiful and there were nice airy common rooms on each floor. We were coed by floor, w/ floor 2 being all guys and 3 and 4 all girls. There was a little hooking up but in general we were all like family.
There are a few older apartment buildings meant for grad and married students. There's a huge apartment building coed by apartment that houses mostly upper classmen and lots of athletes. There is a large men's dorm that's about to be torn down, and then there's the notorious Tutwiler hall, also known as Slutwiler or 14 floors of whores (all girls). It's mostly freshman and mostly greek, and it houses nearly 1000 girls. It's insanity in that place. There are a few ok dorms but in general the situation is rather run down and old. Only about 25% of the student population lives on campus anyways.
