The margin of years that I have left before I graduate is becoming smaller every minute. I will be a junior next year and will not have very much time to think about the college I have in mind. Many people find it hard to look for the perfect college that fits them. I know plenty of seniors that do not have a clear college in mine and struggles to admit to a college before the summer arrives. Many students are forced to settle for community college because they decide to procrastinate in the admission of the large universities causing massive amounts of stress. There are many factors that makes students choose the colleges that they attend. Some factors may be how far the university is from home, the tuition, ratings, and scholarships. I

The university that I have decided fits me best is the University of Alabama. The University of Alabama is a public institution that was established in 1831.Then, the total enrollment was just fifty-two, but after the continuation of growth the total enrollment for 2016 at the university is 37,665. The out of state tuition and fees come to a cost of 27,750 as of 2016. The acceptance rate is fair at fifty-four percent as of 2015. This university’s first enrollment of women took place in 1893. UA's first African-American student, Autherine J. Lucy, was admitted in 1956. She was expelled three days later "for her own safety" in response to threats from a mob. In 1992 Autherine Lucy Foster returned to Alabama after being married and having four children and graduated from the University with a master's degree in education. The first sustained enrollment of African-American students at UA, Vivian J. Malone and James A. Hood, was achieved in 1963. Governor Wallace tried to block desegregation of all of this large university, but failed. In 2016, the Crimson Tide defeated Clemson 45-40 to win its 16th national football championship. The university’s mission is to advance the intellectual and social condition of the people of the state, the nation and the world through the creation, translation and dissemination of knowledge with an emphasis on quality programs in the areas of teaching, research and service. I feel as though there are far more opportunities handed to
