The university is located on the southern side of the city Huntsville. Huntsville has a good population but the city isn’t over- crowded.

The university has a good name and discipline, the only problem here is the awkward behavior put forward by professors. Some professors are willing to help immediately while others will tell you to solve it yourself. Let us put forward an advice, the 2010 shooting case is something not to consider while taking admissions in the university even if everybody keeps telling you about it, which was not university’s fault. Do not go on the false impression of people, present your own judgement and follow the process.
