Initiatives:
Ride with the Tide
Through a partnership with the Parents’ Association, the Student Government Association is excited to offer you bus transportation to and from the Alabama vs. LSU football game on November 6. Over 300 Alabama students to travel, tailgate, and enjoy a meal together!
Student tickets for “Ride with the Tide” will cost $45 and will cover an entire day of activities. Charter buses will leave Tuscaloosa the day of the game and drop students at an SGA-sponsored tailgate in Baton Rouge that will include free food and televisions to watch all the games. Buses will travel back to Tuscaloosa following the game. This program is ideal for students who want a safe, easy way to get and from the game without worrying about hotels and driving – whether or not a football ticket has been purchased.
Students may purchase Ride with the Tide tickets individually or in groups. Groups may also purchase blocks of seating for members. You may request to be seated on the same bus with other students who have already purchased tickets. For more information or to purchase a ticket, visit sga.ua.edu or contact the SGA office at (205)-348-2742 or 231 Ferguson. It’s time to ride with the Tide in a completely new way!
Free Test Booklets are available in the SGA office and other locations on campus!
