UWA felt like home before I ever enrolled. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The campus felt welcoming, and I didn't feel like just a number there. It made me feel confident that this is the right place for me. UWA is my home away from home!

Jason Green came to Livingston with a plan. He wanted to continue his education and earn a bachelor’s degree that would complement the associate’s degree he earned in funeral service education, and he did that. But he says that his experience at Livingston University (now the University of West Alabama) added more to his life and future than merely two years of higher education. Leaving with a degree under his belt, he says that what stands out to him most is what was under his feet.
