 My name is Price McGifford. I attended Tuskegee's Academy at Tuskegee's to Alabama. I'm a junior majoring in civil engineering. My decision to attend the University of Alabama was an easy one. I love Tuskegee's and this beautiful campus. To me Tuskegee's has a small town feel with access to big cities. I knew I wanted to come to the University of Alabama for the college of engineering and the tight-knit family the Capstone has. With the University of Alabama being in my backyard I had a little bit different of a decision-making process but after I took my first Capstone tour it was never even a question where I was going. There's over 550 different student organizations at the University of Alabama and within the first few weeks at school we'll have something called Get on Board Day and this is where every single one of those student organizations will set up a tent or a table right there at the Ferguson Center and everybody can come by and stop by and sign up and even if we don't have one you can start one. All you have to do is have 20 people sign off on it and the University of Alabama will okay it. Something great about this is there's 37,665 students to Alabama and you just have to find 20. My biggest advice is to go ahead and apply to the University of Alabama get that application in as fast as you can send your AP scores your SAT or your ACT scores and then also your transcript. Then when you get accepted go ahead and get that housing application in as soon as possible.
