Walk the path of a Jag...

 

  Hey everyone! As your final high school years begin to wrap up, you might be feeling the stress of making your ultimate college decision. I know when I was a senior, I felt like I was going to lose my head! There are so many options out there for just about every kind of student, and it can definitely be overwhelming. So what made me choose South?
 
  I took a campus tour! USA was the first college I toured... and, admittedly, I hadn't even considered it prior to this point. I saw that it was relatively close to where I live (about an hour) and figured, well, why not? I might as well!

  And I ended up being blown away by not only the beauty of the campus but also by the downright zeal my South Guide had during the tour. It was obvious that the guide was incredibly knowledgeable and was just in love with the school. It was infectious-- for every other college I toured after South, I found myself comparing them, and I just kept gravitating back to USA.

  Campus tours are a great way to get a feel for any institutions that you're interested in, but South's tours are what ultimately made my decision.

  Tours are offered year-round, Monday through Friday, at 9 am, 11:30 am, and 2 pm CST. You can call 251-460-7834 or register online to schedule yours today.

Until next time...

A Week in the Life of a Commuter Jag...

    Hey everyone!   If you've visited my blog before, you'll know that I don't actually live in Mobile. I live near Ocean Springs, Mississippi, which is a little over an hour away from South's campus. I drive here 5 days a week and spend about 10 hours total a week in the car! As such, my typical week looks pretty similar across the board. Here's a snapshot of what it's like...   I normally leave my house by 7:30 a.m. most days even though my first classes start at 9:30 a.m. or later. I like to give myself some extra time in the morning when I get here to either eat breakfast or do some homework. When I have this extra time, I typically go to the Seaman's Bethel, which is the Honors College hub.   A lot of my day is eaten up by classes. Since I live far away, I like to schedule several classes a day so I'm more motivated to make the drive. But in my downtime between classes, I'll eat lunch and study. You can almost always find me at the Bet

An unforgettable first visit...

   Howdy future Jags!   If you've poked around my blog before, you'll know that I always sing high praises for our campus tours. Today I'm going to share my memories of my first campus tour here, which was the first time I had ever visited South's campus!   When I was considering colleges in high school, South did not come onto my radar until pretty late in the game. I was very focused on going to a university with an excellent Geology program, so I had my gaze turned across the country, to Colorado or Arizona. One day, my mom mentioned South Alabama, which I wasn't aware existed and was only an hour away from home. I figured I might as well just tour it for fun, to keep my options open... and I'm so glad that I did!   South Alabama was the first college I ever toured, and I was blown away not only by the beauty of the campus but also by the friendliness of the staff and students who spoke to me that day. My tour guide was friendly, funny, and knowledgea

Relaxation at its finest...

I wish that was me...  Howdy everybody!   I'm going to be enjoying an extended Fall Break here beginning at 8 pm CST (when I get home from my commute). But how does a college student relax, exactly?   Honestly, despite the massive amounts of work it seems we have to do (and trust me, it's barely an exaggeration), you need some ME time here and there! Usually students return home during the break and hang out with friends and loved ones, and I'm no exception.   However, because I'm a commuter student who lives in Mississippi, I spend about 10 hours in the car every week getting to and from class. When breaks roll around, and especially ones as short as Fall Break, I'm pretty sick of driving, and I don't really want to go out! I intend to spend my break nestled in my bed and allowing myself some time to breathe.   I usually play video games or draw in my downtime to relax and get my mind off of the stress of school (and life in general). I don't
