College is that time in every person’s life where your best memories are made and lifelong friends are met. New roommates and living on your own is a whole new ballgame for many students. The transition from high school to college can be tough at first, but this transition can be made a lot easier by picking the right roommates. Jay, Michael and Morgan come from different backgrounds, but, even with their diversity, they seem to make it work. Michael and Morgan can be described as typical “Bama” boys since both of them are from in-state. While Jay took a different route to the University of Alabama, as he came down from New Jersey. Even though they come from different cultures, they are still able to coexist with one another. They share an apartment together at the Preston Place complex, located on 12th Avenue. This apartment consists of three bedrooms and two bathrooms which makes it a perfect place for students to live during their college years. By living together with a close group of friends, these students are able to have an enjoyable college experience, as well as many opportunities for new friendships.
The roommates met freshman year while living in the dormitory, Burke Hall. Michael and Morgan were roommates. The two were from the same hometown and attended the same high school. They lived on the same floor as Jay, a northern boy from New Jersey. The three clicked very well and instantly created a friendship. As the boy’s freshman year came to an end, the three came to the decision to live together the following year. While searching for apartments, they stumbled upon an apartment complex called Preston Place. The location was perfect and had everything they were looking for. After looking and researching different areas, they came to the conclusion that Preston Place fit them best. The location of Preston Place was the deciding factor in their decision to pick this apartment complex.
Location is a primary factor when looking for a place to live in college. The Preston Place apartment complex is a desirable place to live because of this exact reason. Preston Place is located within walking distance of the most important structure in the state of Alabama, Bryant-Denny Stadium. During the week, students can easily walk to and from class without the hassle of parking and worrying about the pointless tickets that seem to put many college students into debt. On game days during the fall, it is a great place to tailgate before Alabama football games. Because of Preston Place’s convenient proximity to the stadium, residents of Preston Place are able to enjoy tailgating all day then have a short walk to the stadium prior to kickoff. Another great advantage of living at Preston place is being close to the famous “Strip.” The Strip is one of the most popular destinations for Alabama students since there are so many things to do there. With many different restaurants and bars on the Strip, it comes as no surprise that this is one of the busiest places on the weekends in Tuscaloosa. Since it is so close to Preston Place, residents that want to go to the bars to have a good time can walk home instead of taking a risk driving. Residents of Preston Place will have minimal driving with many of their needs within walking distance.
This two-story apartment complex is a great place to live because everyone in Preston Place knows each other and doesn’t mind letting others into their apartment. The hotspot is the corner apartment on the bottom floor where Jay, Michael and Morgan live. Everyone is always welcome in this apartment since they have an “open-door policy.” People are always coming in and out at their apartment, especially on the weekends when there are parties throughout the Preston Place apartment complex. “I think it (Preston Place) is a great place to live,” says Michael. “I would like to think that, in some way, we are able to bring people together and introduce new people as well.” This philosophy is what makes their community such a great place to stay. It opens up new opportunities for other people to make new friends with someone they might not have met in any other situation. The residents of other apartments always walk over to visit them, even if it is just for a short visit. The camaraderie among all of the residents at Preston Place makes it an enticing place to stay. It is a great feeling to know that the neighbors in the community have each other’s back.
The best aspect of this community is their ability to be supportive of one another. Even when times get tough, these residents are always able to encourage each other. This is a college town and things are always bound to happen, bad and good. For example, if the cops were called to break up a party, then each resident of the community would do anything possible to help out whoever is in trouble. There is also a well-known tradition in this community during the weekends. A late night run to Pita Pit on the Strip happens every night on the weekends, usually by the people who are most intoxicated. Of course, there is always that one person who is either too drunk or too lazy and tries to get someone to bring them back a meal. You always have someone to hang out with whether you're just chilling or wanting to go out and do something, there are always many options.
The residents of Preston Place make it one of the best places to live, even though it might not be one of the biggest apartment complexes. Because of the location, people coming into town for a stay usually like to stay here because of that and its fun atmosphere. This apartment complex acts like a smaller version of a fraternity because of how close they are to each other. It is a brotherhood where new people meet each day and old friends hang out because they enjoy the company of each other. Preston Place brings people together who might have not met any other way. The diversity throughout the apartment complex makes it an intriguing destination. It is a place where good ole country boys from the South end up with someone from up North. College is all about meeting new people and having new experiences. Preston Place seems to have contributed much to these three guys college experience.
