The University of Alabama, located in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, is a public research university. It was founded in the year 1820 and started admitting students in 1831. This university is not only the oldest but also the largest among all the public universities in Alabama and in the University of Alabama System.

The University of Alabama offers 17 different housing communities that can accommodate up to 9,000 residents. These communities offer a range of living options, including traditional, suite, and apartment-style floor plans, as well as Living-Learning Communities and Themed Housing. It's worth noting that Bryce Lawn and East Edge are generally reserved for upperclassmen, not freshmen. Students who live off-campus at a property with which UA has a master lease, such as East Edge, will need to complete the UA housing application instead of a lease with the property. All UA residence halls come with a 24/7 community desk and live-in staff, as well as individual contracts, utilities included, and convenient on-campus locations.
