The official name of "University of Alabama" (the "the" is capitalized and oddly enough part of the name of the school. I find this somewhat like copyrighting a letter or word, nevertheless, the official name stands) which is actually a group of three universities situated in Tuscaloosa - the main campus, Birmingham - the main medical campus, and Huntsville.

The U. of A. is a state school offering the full spectrum of classes.

Personally, the best thing about UA-Tuscaloosa is the New College Program.
