GREAT SCHOOL

Right there in Tuscaloosa, easy to get to, perfect for UA students to take some classes. Why would I sit in a 300 person lecture hall at UA when I can take the same class with a better teacher and only 20-30 students?

Love it!!

The best school in Tuscaloosa. Going to the UA is not worth double the price to me, but I grew up in Tuscaloosa area my whole life. I have not found one bad thing to say about Shelton State yet, and have never heard anyone else say anything. Very clean and everyone is super helpful. Looks just like the catalog, and we are extremely safe here.
