Be Prepared to Move

Stay Hydrated
It won’t take long to realize that summers in Alabama are pretty warm and humid. Drinking plenty of fluids throughout the day and staying hydrated as you move across campus will be important.
Don’t Be Afraid to Ask Questions
Many Bama Bound sessions include Q&A portions when you’ll have a chance to ask a variety of questions. Please don’t be afraid or shy to ask questions if you have them. Since everyone else in the room is taking in a lot of information as well, there’s a good chance someone else has a similar question.
Explore Campus When Given the Opportunity
While you’ll get to see a good bit of campus during Bama Bound, you’ll more than likely not get to see all of the campus beauty UA has to offer.

Take Plenty of Pictures
Be sure to take plenty of photos during your visit to campus. Whether to help remember academic buildings when classes start or posting pictures to social media so your family and friends know you’re having a great time, be sure to nab some pics.
