For those around the Yellowhammer State, it probably comes as no surprise that the University of Alabama’s campus in Tuscaloosa is being celebrated nationally for its aesthetics — as well as the pride of its students.

AT&T this week released a study concluding that UA’s campus is the “most-Instagrammed” in America.

The company comprehensively reviewed posts on the popular social media platform and found that the most popular college hashtag is #rolltide.

Using the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System to find all qualifying U.S. universities with more than 7,000 enrolled full-time students in the fall 2017 semester, AT&T found that approximately 60% of the University of Alabama’s 33,000+ students had at least one #rolltide post on Instagram.
