Visit UAH

From our world-class research facilities to student clubs and organizations seemingly covering every interest you can imagine, everybody has the opportunity to pursue their passions at UAH. But only a visit to our campus in Huntsville, Alabama – a vibrant Southern town that’s been designated as one of the top cities to live in the U.S. – can give you the full picture of what UAH has to offer. Guided by those who know UAH best – our current students – campus tours offer visitors a peek into what makes UAH the perfect place to live and learn.

Weekday Campus Tours

UAH campus tours are offered Monday-Friday. During your visit, you’ll get the inside scoop on what it’s like to be a part of Charger Nation and have the opportunity to ask questions about the admissions process, financial aid and scholarships, student life, and housing.

Then it’s time to explore our beautiful campus! Featuring personal insight from a UAH student tour guide, visitors get to explore our suite-style residence halls, the Salmon Library, the University Fitness Center, the Charger Union, and a typical classroom.

Events for Prospective Students

In addition to daily campus visits, UAH hosts events for prospective students on and off campus year-round. High school students are invited along with their families to our events, which gives prospective students the chance to speak with representatives from Admissions, Financial Aid, and various student services; gain insight about the admissions process; join a student-led tour; attend a student resource browsing fair; and more!

On my campus visit, the tour guides showed me an honest look at what it’s like to be a student at UAH. When I saw the real student experience here, I knew it was where I wanted to be.
