Preparing for Life at The Capstone

Incoming Freshman,

Hello, it’s me again! I hope everyone is enjoying their summer! In just a few short weeks, you will be an official student at the University of Alabama. At this point, many of you have already gone to Bama Bound and gotten a good taste of life at the Capstone. I hope it was an amazing experience full of new knowledge and new relationships. While at Bama Bound, there are several things we hoped you accomplished. First and foremost, you should have signed up for Fall 2017 courses using the Alabama course catalog.

As an out-of-state student from Illinois, I was freaking out about moving across the country away from my family. However, looking back on my freshman year, there’s not a thing I would change. Well, that’s not entirely true- but that’s a story for another time.
