).Academically, Auburn is the best choice. Bama has the reputation of being a heavy party school. I am in a town where probably 40% of grads go to one and 40% to the other, so we know a lot of kids who are currently at both schools. Auburn is a bit more serious academically. The college campus is more of a traditional campus where you can walk everywhere. I believe Auburn is a land grant school. Bama is a bit more spread out, so a car is almost mandatory. However, both are weak in some areas and stronger in others.
My son has done several camps at Miss St. Great facilities, ugly school. Academics are middle of the road. Students there seem to love it. Troy has a fantastic field. The campus does not have a lot to do. It's got the reputation of being a place that you go to if you are recruited for sports or can't go anywhere else.
UAH, is a solid school in math and sciences, not as solid in other areas. Not as highly ranked as Bama or Auburn. It is primarily a commuter school, but the new president is changing that. He has made it mandatory for students who are not going to live at home to live on campus. The campus is nice. Huntsville is one of the most highly educated populations in the nation (second only to the Silicon Valley region, I believe). There are a lot of high tech job opportunities in the city for UAH grads.
The conference is considered the second best in the country by many. I've personally not heard any positive reviews concerning the coaching. You can PM me on that one if you like.
