    Am learning a lot

    I'm in the engineering program and I am learning tons about software and how computers work. I highly recommend Auburn to anyone who is looking for an engineering school.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love the campus and everyone is so friendly and helpful. The dormlife is cool. I made about 10 new friends just from the dorms.
    Bang for the buck

    I'm out of state so its rather expensive for me, but with everything they offer its really great. The new student union has a lot in it and there is plenty of free tutoring if you get stuck on something.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you are out of state, definitly try for a ton of scholarships. The university didn't give me any scholarships but I'm enjoying my time in Auburn just the same.
    Great for these types of students

    Auburn is great for students who like classrooms with about 50 people in the classes. The freshman classes have a lot more people than some of the more advanced and selective classes. My physics I class probably had 300-400 people in that classroom and my physics II class probably had 50 people so it just varies from class to class.

    Am learning a lot

    Going to school at Auburn has taught me so much. And I am not just talking about what I learned in the classroom. I have received the whole college experience here and have learned so much from just my first year here.
    Am enjoying being here

    Auburn is simply the best college available. The university is what spawned the city of Auburn, AL. That shows the impact the university has had. I have had the absolute best time in such a little town. The football is amazing, the people are great, and the view is magnificent. I could not imagine myself anywhere else.
    Bang for the buck

    I am paying out of state tuition. So from my angle it is a bit pricey. However, that is what I get for going out of my state for college. The instate price is very manageable and is completely worth it. You will not find a better place to spend your integral four (or more) years at college, than at Auburn University.
    Tips for prospective students

    You should definitely look around. Never just choose one college and not have backups. However, if you are looking towards Auburn, definitely visit the campus. Take a tour. The town is wonderful and any pictures don't even do it justice. Make sure you apply as early as possible because there are a lot of eager people wanting to get in.

    Everyone.
    I have not met one person who was unhappy to be in Auburn, AL. It is a great place and it will grow on you very fast. Auburn is a great home for anyone looking to further their education and have a blast while doing it. War Eagle!

    Am learning a lot

    The first day you begin your classes at Auburn you immediately start learning—not a second is wasted, and that's the good thing. Many of the professors are tough, but hey. That's college =) The professors care deeply about their students' success, but you have to make yourself available to show that you care just as much.
    Am enjoying being here

    The minute you step on the exploding Haley concourse you're greeted by hundreds of other students from different areas and different beliefs. Three things that were stressed by the Assistant Head Coach/Wide Receivers Coach of the Auburn Tigers were Faith, Family, and Football. Though it may be that I have a bias, these are some of the nicest fans you will ever meet. I'm in the band and I've received comments from opposing team's fans that we're some of the best they've ever had in their stadium; moreover, some were ashamed of their own team's fans around them. There's a reason that we're called The Loveliest Village on the Plains. It's a great school and an even better community.
    Bang for the buck

    Let's be honest: It's expensive for an out-of-state student. I'm not gifted by any stretch of the imagination, so I have to work hard. I didn't receive many scholarships so I'm on grants and loans right now. 30,000 some-odd dollars is a big hurdle, but it's surely worth it.
    Tips for prospective students

    There is a lot that I could say about this school, but nothing would capture what it's truly all about unless you experience it yourself. Therefore I'll just say work hard, study a little everyday. Put yourself out there when you get here, find something to join. We have over 300 student organizations, I promise there is SOMETHING for everyone to be a part of. With 50 minute classes every other day, it's sometimes hard to meet people, depending on the class setting. The best memories you'll take away from Auburn are the ones that you've made with people that share some of the same interests as you. Go to at least one football game (even if you don't like sports. the atmosphere of Jordan-Hare is mind blowing.) Walk around campus, just because. Believe in Auburn and Love It! (George Petrie, the first Auburn Tigers head coach)
    Great for these types of students

    Students that don't mind large lectures. Your science classes and some history lectures have large numbers of people, but other classes such as foreign languages and English have numbers of 30 and below. Also, students that are ready to work. This is no place to slack, because the minute you do, you're asking for trouble. You have your Grade Adjustment Policy options only 3 times in your college career, so use wisely (but really, it'll be more gratifying if you don't use it at all.) Really, Auburn is great for just about anyone. I've yet to meet anyone that isn't happy here. I've met students who are fans of that other school in Alabama, but they chose to come here because they have the bigger opportunity. I'm not knocking U of A. I don't know the place, but I know I'm happy with what I have here.

    This is the place to be if you enjoy classes that are challenging and teach you things that will actually be used in the real world. The teachers help in anyway they can, they want us to enjoy learning.
    Am enjoying being here

    The campus is beautiful, and the atmosphere is amazing. everyone is kind and helpful. You dont have the uptight dont bother me attitude from the professors and other faculty, everyone gets along and its a fun place to be.
    Bang for the buck

    As is with all universities tuition is a little steep, but with all the free resources available its worth the price. Plus you get professors that know what they are doing and enjoy teaching.
    Tips for prospective students

    Pay attention to your classes, this is a fun place to be and has a relaxed atmosphere but if you fall behind in class its tough to catch back up.

    Am learning a lot

    Every class I have taken at Auburn has taught me something. Of course, I've learned more about the particular subject, but I've learned life lessons as well. My English professor this semester taught me that If something is deep and meaningful to you, it doesn't matter what everyone else thinks about it. My Italian professor taught me that you can't always follow the rules. My Auburn Experience professor taught me more about Auburn than anyone else. I'm learning how to meet people and deal with people that are different from me, and I'm learning how to live on my own. I cannot list everything that I've learned from just my first semester at Auburn.
    Am enjoying being here

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE being at Auburn. I am heavily involved in the Christian Student Center, and I have made so many close friends through that campus ministry. I've already met people that I know I'll stay in touch with after my Auburn years. I participate in intramural sports like volleyball and flag football, which are good ways to meet people on campus and stay active. Living in the dorms (at least for freshman year) has also helped me meet people and get to know campus better.
    Bang for the buck

    I believe Auburn is worth every penny. I was awarded a scholarship, but I still had to take out student loans. It's worth it, because Auburn is incredible.
    Tips for prospective students

    Just smile. Everyone at Auburn is nice. Don't be afraid of your professors or your suitemates. Make the most of EVERYTHING and go to as many home football games as possible.

    Auburn is definitely a highly academic school. Just because Auburn is in Alabama does not mean that it is by any means easy. It was actually just ranked as one of the hardest grading colleges in the nation. This is not a place for slackers. Be ready to attend classes, go to study groups, and study hard in order to excel.
    Am enjoying being here

    It's hard to arrive on campus and not to fall in love with the feel of this college town. Though Auburn is strong it academics, it is still easy to have social life. Football games are indescribable. There are countless organizations to become involved with from SGA to a water skiing team. Greek life is also quite prominent on campus with a third of the student body being in either a frat or sorority. If Greek life isn't for you, it is not hard to avoid. Downtown also lights up at night from the bars (more like small clubs). They're a fun place to go socialize and dance. It's hard to find a quite moment at Auburn (well for me at least, I like staying busy). It really is an amazing college experience.
    Bang for the buck

    I'm an out of state student, so my tuition is pretty high. There are plenty of financial aid and scholarships offered through Auburn to help out. Instate is really low and probably an amazing bang for your buck. I would visit campus and ask as many questions as you can think of before you commit. You can also find many great scholarships offered by Cappex and other similar sites.
    Tips for prospective students

    Visit campus in the fall or spring to really get the feel of what Auburn is like. You can even sit in on classes if you ask someone you know or even the Student Recruiters (tour guides). If you're coming from out of state, Greek life may be the perfect way to meet people (that's a main reason why I did it). If it's not right for you, no worries there are also many other ways to meet people. These are some tips specifically if you are going to Auburn:

    1) Get your lunch right before classes get out so you don't have to wait in long lines (espceially at Salsaritas or ABP)
    2) If you get season football tickets, that's great! If not, a majority of your fellow freshman friends will also have half season so you can still tailgate or watch it on TV
    3) It is a 10 minute walk from Terrell to Haley
    4) If you are required to move your car during football season, don't wait till Friday. There are usually avaliable spots in RO on Wednesday or Thursday.
    5) Don't spend all your meal plan in the first two months.
    6) Every drink and food item in the stadium is $4 so bring money to the games, and your meal plan won't cover it
    7) Studying for tests in high school is not like studying in college. If you feel that you need tutoring early on, go for it!
    8) Be careful where you park and know the parking rules. You cannot park in RH, RW, or RQ on weekends.
    9) Get involved! :) There are over 300 organizations on campus! Or start your own!
    10) Sororities have their chapters on Tuesday and Wednesay night so Village Dining is very crowded for dinner!
    11) If you are eating on campus dinner on Friday or Saturday night, eat early because places close early!
    12) If you are living in the dorms, bring your laundry home to wash if you can, the machines are expensive
    13) Make a friend in each of your classes, you may not end up best friends but you can help each other out
    14) If you can do it, take a foreign language! It is very fun! :)
    15) Get to football games when the gates open for students, it is easier to find a seat (especially for a large group!)
    16) Don't wait till the night before to write a paper
    17) Stay off of Facebook and any other social networking sites during finals week, it will help!
    18) Decorate your room for Christmas :)
    19) Finding an electrical outlet in the library during a busy night is very hard! And so is a parking spot, take the security shuttle if you have to
    20) The security shuttle is very helpful but on busy nights, budget 30 minutes of time for waiting and driving.
    21) Wear sunscreen and sunglasses to the games, and night games get cold starting late September so bring a sweater!
    22) Spending all day in the library? Take your favorite hoodie and blanket, you'll be more comfortable! And remember to take the occasional break!
    23) Have a morning test and want to study? Go to ABP for an hour, it's not too loud and you can get breakfast too!
    24) Have RO and live in the Hill? You can rent a parking spot at the Auburn Alumni Center (next to FIJI) each semester

    War Eagle!
    Great for these types of students

    People who like the South and are studious and social. There are also a ton of intramural sports, if you're athletic. If you've never been to the South before, come and visit! It just may surprise you :)

    I am involved in the Honors College here, and while the Honors classes are a bit difficult, it is worth the perks. I was able to register for classes 3 weeks earlier than other freshmen. Auburn offers a wide variety of classes that are very interesting to take. Though I am majoring in Business, I am taking some of the courses in other topics that I am interested in.
    Am enjoying being here

    It was quite a culture shock to come down to the deep South, but I really enjoy it. At first it may be a little overwhelming, especially if you decide not to do Greek Life. However, there are so many clubs to get involved with! No matter who you are, you will be able to find an organization to get involved with here!
    Bang for the buck

    Auburn gives out a lot of money for Merit Scholarships each year. I believe you only need a 28 ACT and a 3.5 GPA, and you are eligible for a scholarship! For out of state students Auburn is pretty expensive, but in state I believe is next to nothing!
    Tips for prospective students

    Apply early! They have rolling decision for students who apply early so you don't have to wait for an answer.
    If you have the credentials, apply for the Honors College! Early registration is amazing.
    Get involved! Then you can meet people with the same interest as you.

    I found Auburn to be challeging but fun. You will not make it through school there without learning a lot. The quality of content and teaching is great. I was a transfer student from a community college to Auburn and found that the quantity and quality of material was way better at Auburn then where I had been previously. If you are taking sciences there make sure you are ready for some challenging labs!
    Am enjoying being here

    I find one of the key factors in enjoying college is making great friends. Auburn has so many different opportunities and organizations for you to get involved with it makes it really easy to find students with similar likes and dislikes. I really like the layout of the campus, it's not very complicated and the student center is in the middle of campus which makes it easy to meet people for a meal or to study. The nice thing about Auburn is whether you are a hard core partier or a book worm you will fit in and find friends. The weather is really nice (minus July and August) and the college is very pretty and clean. Over all I have had lots of fun at school.
    Bang for the buck

    Auburn is by far the best bang for your buck! I was offered scholarships to a few other schools and Auburn was still cheaper. You get an amazing education for a small college price. Auburn has raised tuition since a started school but the university has also risen in the rankings both over all and individual programs.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure you live on campus the first year. I found that is was really helpful to get to know people and to learn the campus layout. Talk to your proffessors! Most of them are REALLY nice and rather bored during their office hours and would love to talk to you. Talk to older students in your major, they can help you a lot. Make sure you have rain gear! It rain randomly in Auburn all the time but the sunsets are awesome.
    Great for these types of students

    Auburn is a very well rounded college but it is mostly noted for its engineering school, nursing school, business school, and fashion and merchandising (majors). I have found that there is a great abundance of campus ministries and for this reason it is a very Christian friendly campus.

    It really depends on your major. If you are interested in any liberal art or fine art, look elsewhere. Auburn is made for engineering, architecture, vet or pre-vet school, and agriculture. They actually take pride in not being a liberal arts school. Freshman year all of the core classes are taught in large sizes, making it hard to get a personal experience. The English department is EXTREMELY subjective and full of hard grading, and a family friend in the Philosophy department at AU has even described the English department as corrupt.
    Will enjoy being here

    Again, it depends on the kind of person you are. As someone who has lived in Auburn for my entire life, I can say with confidence that most people who go to Auburn are interested in the same things - football, partying, and drinking. Of course, not everyone who goes here is like that, but you're not going to find a lot of people who are different from that immediately.
    Bang for the buck

    If you are an Alabama resident looking for college Auburn is something to consider. The in-state tuition isn't THAT bad, plus they offer automatic scholarships. However, like I said earlier, the quality of the classes and professors isn't always up to par.
    Tips for prospective students

    I recommend looking at other schools unless you want to go into engineering, veterinary-related studies, architecture, or agriculture. When applying, Auburn cares a lot more about your ACT score than your course-load or even your GPA, so keep that in mind if you're really Auburn-bound. Take it more than once. Oh, and get used to WALKING. The campus isn't really well-organized, so it's very spread-out and during your typical day you'll do a LOT of walking. Also, while most of the college-targeted places are downtown near campus, you're going to want to get out of town on the weekends at least sometimes, so if you have a car, BRING IT.
    Great for these types of students

    People who love football, partying, greek life, and a typical southern lifestyle. People interested in the programs I have mentioned above. There's a good amount of student organizations so that if you're not necessarily the kind of person I described, you still have hope of meeting other people who don't necessarily fit in at Auburn.

    Am learning a lot

    I've been in several majors in different colleges, from the College of Engineering to the College of Liberal Arts, and can say that all the classes I've taken have helped me grow intellectually, as well as decide what the best career path for me would be. There are plenty of places to get free help with classe you're having trouble in, as well as a multitude of helpful graduate students who are looking to tutor students.
    Am enjoying being here

    The campus is beautiful and walking from one end to the other won't take more than about 10-15 minutes depending your speed. One drawback they don't tell you about: there will always be some kind of construction on campus. This can be really annoying, but it helps our school keep up-to-date facilities and continue to grow. Pretty much everyone is super nice and helpful. Game weekends are filled with War eagle! instead of Hello and southern hospitality is definitely something this community has to offer. I have found wonderful organizations that have grown to become family, so get involved!
    Bang for the buck

    Auburn University, as well as most colleges, comes with a hefty price tag for out of state students. This is a definite drawback. However, they've just changed the tuition scale so that any full-time student (taking 12-18+ credit hours) pays the same amount of tuition. This is supposed to encourage students to take more classes so that they will graduate on time. My classes have all been relatively small, besides classes like history and fundamentals of chemical and biology. But all the teachers are accessible and want to help you. Also like I said before, Auburn is always improving its facilities so that we have the newest technologies.
    Tips for prospective students

    After graduating from a small high school in a place not many have heard of, Auburn was kind of a culture shock. It's huge! Your first reaction might be to lock yourself in dorm room, but don't! There are sooo many opportunities to get involved on campus, as well as in the community. There's a niche for everyone and you can find it at Auburn! Also, if you love football this is a great choice. The game experience in the student section is like no other! I'm a junior and I still get chills at the sight of all my Auburn family cheering on the team.
    Great for these types of students

    Engineering and pre-med both had exceptional programs, facilities and people who want you to succeed. As far as personalities that would fit well at Auburn, anything goes! There's a place for everyone and we truly are a family.

    In three sentences

    once you come to auburn, you become a part of the huge and amazing auburn family. auburn has a beautiful campus full of friendly people who are willing and wanting to help you succeed and make the best out of your college experience. auburn has everything and is the place to meet amazing people and have the best college experience anyone could ask for.
    Tips for prospective students

    auburn may be in the sec and seem like a huge school, but it really has a small town feel. make sure you get involved on campus and meet tons of new people. try things that you wouldn't normally do, you may and up loving it and meet awesome people in the process.
    Academic Rigor

    classes at auburn are diffcult, but not impossible. teachers understand that students have other challenging classes and are willing to work with you. test schedules are posted way in advance so you are never surprised by a test. also, alot of teachers throw in bonus at the end of the semester which is always a plus.
    Dorm Life

    dorm life is not as bad as some people make it out to be. there is plenty of space in the dorms and enough closet/storage space. also, by living in the dorms you are able to meet a ton of new people. the only downside of dorms is the fire alarms. the alarms like to go off at random times and usually inconvenient times.
    Food and Dining

    there are so many good places to eat on campus and you never have to walk very far. there is a good variety in places to eat, but the downside is that there is not a cafeteria or dining hall with different options everyday. auburn has many well known and popular restaurants on campus like chick-fli-a, panda express, dennys, and au bon pain.
    What to do for fun

    football, of course. football season is the best time in auburn; there is nothing like it! the games in the student section are so much fun. there are also bars downtown that always have live entertainment. auburn always has some kind of event going on whether it is a sports game, movie, concert, or special event. there is always something to do.
    Bang for the buck

    i am from out-of-state so the tuition is crazy expensive, but i wouldn't trade my auburn experience for anything!
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    rolling toomers corner is the most famous and best traditon at auburn. i promise you have never seen anything like it before.
    Great for these types of students

    anyone!
    Clubs and Activities

    there is a club for anything and everything, but really there are so many things to get involved in.
    Greek Life

    greek life is big at auburn because it is a southern school and in the sec. however, there are tons of students not involved in greek life. if you are greek, awesome and if you're not, awesome. it really doesn't matter here.
    Campus Safety

    auburn is in its own little bubble. i have never felt unsafe at auburn. walking campus at night is not scary and there are security shuttles that drive student around. there are also emergency stands set up all of campus just in case.

    Auburn has been great so far! I have never once doubted my choice to come here. So far, I've gotten a lot out of the classes that I've taken. Many of my classes have been challenging, but in a good way. I can honestly say that I've learned a lot in all of my classes, and what I've learned has been applicable to real life. Class sizes are generally a good size, and the professors are easy to access outside of class.
    Am enjoying being here

    They aren't lying when they talk about Auburn University being a family. At Auburn, everybody is All In, and everybody is really friendly. I came from out of state without knowing many people, but it was incredibly easy to meet new people and feel welcomed. If you like football, you will absolutely love it at Auburn! If you don't like football, there are a ton of other things to get involved in. If I could choose a college over again, I would choose Auburn again and again.
    Bang for the buck

    Auburn is fairly generous with their scholarships, and the price is pretty affordable. I think that I've definitely gotten the bang for my buck in classes, extracurriculars, social life, professors, and the opportunities that Auburn has presented me with since being there. Auburn puts on tons of free events for students, and since being at school there, I've gotten to see Lupe Fiasco and T-Pain in concert. They put on numerous free activities for students, and although it's a small college town, there is never a lack of something to do. Auburn treats its students well.
    Tips for prospective students

    My tips for prospective students would be to go into college with a completely open mind. Try all of the new things and experiences that are presented to you and take the time to enjoy all of the opportunities that college presents you outside of the classroom. At Auburn, there are always speakers, programs, or special events that really enrich your education. And of course take advantage of what you can learn inside of the classroom. Going to class may seem like a chore, but you can really learn something and benefit from what you learn in your classes. If you go into school with an open mind, you can get the most out of it. In the one year that I've been at Auburn University, I've learned so much!
    Great for these types of students

    Auburn is great for almost any type of student. It's a large school, so there are tons of things to get involved in and something for everyone. However large the school is though, it is in a small town and many of the classes are small as well. At Auburn, you get the best of both worlds: a large university with lots of opportunities in a small town setting.

    I'm currently enrolled in two honors courses here, and I'm learning so much! To those of you who that because Auburn is a state school, it can't offer the same academic rigor as private universities, there are so many opportunities within the honors program to learn at a faster pace.

    I've been on campus for nearly a month, and I already love Auburn! Joining a sorority has given me the opportunity to meet so many wonderful girls, and there is almost always a fun party to go to!

    I'm from out-of-state, so money was the biggest deciding factor to choosing where I went to school. However, Auburn has a great scholarship program, so if you made the grades, you will be eligible for lots of merit scholarship.

    I am a Senior in Laboratory Technology and Auburn University has impressed be so far. It is what many consider to be a research school, so the majority of the professors here have PhDs and are continuing in their own education which can only benefit the student.
    Am enjoying being here

    The campus itself is absolutely beautiful. All the classes are within comfortable walking distance so you don't have to scramble to and fro during the hot summer months.
    Bang for the buck

    Tuition is expensive here, but there are so many classes, people, and activities to be a part of, it is totally worth it. Also, SEC football is the best in the country and I have to say Auburn is a great school to be a part of.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be sure to become a part of a group. I, myself, have been a part of the marching band, the symphonic winds, KKP and SAI, two music organizations on campus. It's easy to get lost with a student body this big, but with greek organizations for people of every color and other clubs, everyone can find their niche.
    Great for these types of students

    It is great for students who want a big schmall with a small-town feel. It's big enough to not feel trapped, but also small enough to feel safe. The night life at Auburn is also amazing for those that don't want to be only buried in their books. And it's close to Montgomery, Birmingham, and Atlanta for those who like to go to bigger events.

    Auburn's professors are great! What's even better is the outside resources Auburn provides that are FREE! All professors are required to hold office hours where you can go speak to them about the class and ask questions about upcoming tests, papers, and projects. Some classes have Supplemental Information, or SI, where past students who have excelled in the class hold sessions to help discuss the material further. The Library also has free tutoring for most classes! You just sign up online for an appointment! I really love the services Auburn provides. It makes me feel like I am getting the attention I would get at a smaller school, without having to lose the big school atmosphere!

    Auburn has the greatest family in the world! Everyone is so friendly and open to meeting new people. Just yell War Eagle! on the concourse and see what happens! The campus is beautiful in all seasons of the year. The traditions Auburn has are timeless. War Eagle!

    Auburn has great academic programs, advisors, and professors! They also have awesome extracurricular activities and a wide variety that you will want to take advantage of!
    Tips for prospective students

    Apply for on campus housing early! Make your housing deposit and reserve a spot, even if you aren't sure Auburn is the school for you. Freshman housing is limited and if you do decided on AU you want to be in the dorms, or at least have the option. Take a tour and try to visit a friend who currently goes here or visit a football game to get a more well rounded experience. Take the ACT or SAT more than once, even if your score is great! You never know what scholarships you can get just for your score!
    Great for these types of students

    You will need to be comfortable at a school with a lot of people, but don't worry about getting lost in the crowd! It's hard to unless you try. You need to be dedicated to academics but able to balance extracurriculars too. Auburn has a lot of great extracurricular opportunities you will want to take advantage of!

    When I began at Auburn I was a Pre-Med Student. My freshman year I was lucky enough to have so many intellectual teachers who clearly understood the importance of such education. With saying that I realized science did not interest me enough and i switched majors to the Graphic design program. My sophomore year I started the new major and realized that the teachers that I had in this subject were just as brilliant as the teachers I had as a Pre-Med student. Every teacher I have had is a professional at the subject and is able to back up such education with years of experience and education. The teachers all seem to have wonderful credentials and a great resume of accomplishments to back them up.
    Am enjoying being here

    I came to Auburn from Southern California, I am used to a city of 4 million an ended up moving to a state whose population was 4 million. I experienced a fair amount of culture shock to say the least. Auburn was a lot smaller to me, although I know to many people it is a lot bigger than where they came from. Regardless of the amount of students (20,000+), Auburn feels like a family. No matter how many people, or where you come from everyone shares that same love for Auburn. When being here long enough you will find people that compliment your tastes no matter what you are in to. Don't be afraid to join organizations and meet new people, because you have such a huge chance of making life long friends at this university. A few things that sold me on Auburn was the southern hospitality and the gorgeous campus. We have all four seasons and there is ALWAYS something to do on the weekends, from downtown bars, to hiking at Chewacla. It is a beautiful city with awesome people. Plus....the football games are so fun!

    As an out of state student it is incredibly expensive to attend Auburn. I do know many schools that are more expensive than Auburn though, and then again if you stay instate it is way cheaper. Try to work on some scholarships if you are out of state, but if you can't seem to get any I think the out of state and independent experience is well worth the money.
    Tips for prospective students

    This college is wonderful all around, but something that I am so happy about is the tutoring programs offered for free. They have a writing center to check over your papers before you turn them in, and study groups and tutors for every subject and class all for free! I couldn't have made it through these last two years without these wonderful resources. Also join as many organizations as you can, the more people you meet and the more things on your calendar make for an even better experience!!

    Auburn is great for all types of people just as long as you are serious about your studies.

All the programs here are so accredited

    Between the different departments there is a major disparity in the quality of the teachers. In my experience, teachers in the Humanities classes tend to be very good. All of my history, writing, and art-based classes have been very informative and interesting, and the teachers have all been great.
    In my Engineering classes, however, I have yet to have a decent teacher. My one - and only - Computer Science class, Java, was a nightmare because of the teaching quality. Good math teachers are apparently few and far between, as finding one that speaks fluent English is referred to as 'finding the unicorn' around here. My friends have told me horror stories about their science teachers, notably in both Physics and Chemistry. Because of this, I find it extremely hard to learn here.
    Am enjoying being here

    This is my opinion - I'm not of the same mindset or rearing as many of the students around here, so I find it hard to talk to people. Also, being atheist in Alabama is not exactly a recipe for acceptance. As stated above, teachers make being here a lot harder than it needs to be due to their quality, and the dominance of politically/religiously-themed (Christian) clubs here at Auburn makes it rather difficult to get involved in anything interesting.

    The college and town itself also does not provide many opportunities for fun if you don't drink/party/do drugs. So there's that.
    Bang for the buck

    I don't pay over $25,000 dollars a year to come to a place where intelligence comes to die. I pay that much for an education, and that, sadly, is exactly what I am not receiving at Auburn University.
    Tips for prospective students

    Am enjoying being here

    I hate it here. If you want a place filled with sororities, fraternities, football, drinking, and closed minded people, go ahead. Nothing matters but football. The only topics I've heard talked about have been, clothing, parties, and football. If you're a minority student. Don't even bother. I am mixed (White, Black, and Native American) and it never occurred to me that people would look at me differently until now.
    People here are all alike. Skinny, white, preppy, with Nike shorts and a sorority shirt for the girls, and suit and tie or whatever their fraternity demands for the guys. There is no free thinking. There is no creativity. There is no art.

    I'm planning on leaving. This place is NOT for me.
    Bang for the buck

    You do receive a ton of rewards for your money. The tiger transit is very nice, and the tutoring services are great.

    Many times you'll see something and people will say 'Oh, it's covered in your tuition'.
    Great for these types of students

    You may want to think twice if you come from a smaller (particularly close knit) school. You can make it here, it all depends on your preference.

    I would say a rule of thumb is if you like football and parties most nights (but can do your work, too) then you should be fine.

    Non-party people, particularly those that like humanities as well, find another school

    The campus was pretty, but it was in the middle of nowhere. It seems like if you aren't drinking or at a sorority/fraternity party, there would be nothing to do. I am a busy-body so the location was not right for me.

    I love being a student at Auburn University. For the most part, teachers genuinely want to help students who try to do their work. Also, Auburn has a friendly environment, which is wonderful for freshmen who are still learning their way around campus.
    Tips for prospective students

    Most classes have an attendance policy, but go to class even if it is not mandatory! Many teachers offer extra credit for students who come to class and teachers are more willing to help students who put forth an effort. Also, don't hesitate to ask your teachers questions. They like being able to connect a face to a name!
    Academic Rigor

    I work a lot in all of my classes, and I currently have a 3.4 GPA. For me, General Physics was a difficult class because I didn't understand my teacher's methods at all. Therefore, I hired a tutor and made a B in the class. This shows that classes are difficult and sometimes you have to put forth an extra effort to get a good grade, but it is worth it.
    Dorm Life

    This year I lived in a dorm and my roommate was selected randomly. My roommate and I were immediately best friends. Everyone I know of that had a random roommate was happy with their situation. However, my roommate and I did not get along with our suite-mate and the other girls on our hall were very noisy. Luckily, it was easy to escape to the library to study.
    Food and Dining

    Auburn has a great variety of food choices, from Mexican to Chinese to Chick-Fil-A. I lived in the oldest dorms on campus, where the dining hall does not have very many choices. However, anywhere on campus is a 10-15 minute walk away, so getting food was not a problem. Also, the required dining plan for on-campus students is $1000 per semester. It is a lot of money to spend, but it comes in handy.
    What to do for fun

    Football games are the best! Personally, I got involved in a campus ministry, which was awesome. They have free meals every week, free tailgating during football season, and fun trips to the beach in the spring. I definitely recommend getting involved!
    Bang for the buck

    Auburn University is expensive, especially for out-of-state students, but you won't find another school as great as Auburn. The traditions are like no other, the students are friendly, and the staff genuinely wants to help the students get the best education possible.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Auburn is full of fun traditions! After any sporting victory, we go downtown and roll the Oaks on Toomer's Corner with toilet paper. On any game day, everyone is so friendly that you heard War Eagle! shouts wherever you go. Also, Hey Day is one of my favorite events where all students receive name tags and walk around campus to make new friends. And you can't go to Auburn without trying the famous Toomer's lemonade at Toomer's Corner!
    Great for these types of students

    I believe that everyone has a place in Auburn! There are groups for people who like to go to church, people who like to party, or people who like to play sports.
    Clubs and Activities

    I am an Architecture major, so I am a member of the American Institute for Architecture Students. There are clubs related to every major on campus and they're a great way to get to know people in your major. Also, I am involved in several campus ministries, which allowed me to meet people my age who like the same kinds of activities as I do.
    Greek Life

    I did not rush and do not plan to, but I have friends in sororities that love it.
    Campus Safety

    Auburn has a great transit system that runs during the day. At night, the safety shuttle (AKA the drunk bus) takes students from one end of campus to the other to prevent drunk driving. It also prevents girls from dangerously walking across campus alone in the dark. If anyone is ever in danger or being chased, there are emergency posts located within seeing-distance of each other. These allow for someone to push the button and have the police locate them if needed.

    Auburn University is unique for many different reasons. The friendliness of the community is recognized nationwide, matched with professors who truly care about the welfare of their students. The University offers many opportunities, and goes above and beyond to help students navigate their path to success.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be prepared to make the most out of the transit as parking is not the greatest. However, the transit goes all over town and runs all day. It is very convenient.
    Academic Rigor

    The classes can be very difficult, but professors are always available for extra help. Also, the University offers many tutoring programs. When classes become difficult, there is always help available.
    Dorm Life

    The dorms are very clean, and do not have communal bathrooms (which was a huge plus for me). Although parking is far away, there is a great food plan and laundry rooms on campus that make it not necessary to leave often. Also the campus is within walking distance to down town, and the transit goes straight to the dorm parking lot.
    Food and Dining

    There are many different places to eat all across campus, even late at night. The food plan makes the use of the dining halls very simple, and with the wide range of choices, you are sure not to go hungry.
    What to do for fun

    The University is always hosting fun events such as concerts, carnivals, outdoor movie showings, and other acts such as comedians like Kevin Hart. Also the huge number of clubs with be sure to fill you're time with exciting events.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Rolling the Toomer's Trees is a tradition deep in Auburn's heart. After every athletic victory it is a meeting place for fans throughout the community to gather and celebrate the shared excitement while toilet papering two massive trees between the university and downtown. The energy here is something that simply cannot be understood without experiencing it.
    Campus Safety

    Campus security patrols are friendly and effective. As well as emergency stations set up along campus to alert the police immediately if there is a problem. However, the friendliness of the community often makes these precautions unnecessary.

    Auburn University is a large, public school centered around academics and social activity. The university is well known and loved for its football team. The small, friendly town of Auburn surrounding the university is dedicated to the school, as well as to catering to its students in any way.
    Tips for prospective students

    Decide whether you would prefer to be in a city, small town, or rural environment for college, as the setting here is very specific to your preference.
    Know whether you want to attend a school where Greek Life is a huge part of the school's social life and whether you want to join a Greek organization.
    Take your time mapping out a route to all of your classes before the first day of class, so that you're not lost walking around campus. Familiarize yourself with main buildings and walkways.

    Academic Rigor

    I am in the Honors College here, and honestly I have been disappointed as a whole with the honors curriculum. An honors interdisciplinary class I took last semester, called The Human Odyssey, proved to be far less interesting and engaging than its name, with teachers who were not very interested in the individual student or in hearing the opinions of students. The honors literature class I am in this semester, World Literature I, also has proved far less engaging and challenging than any honors class at my high school was. Thus, I have been quite disappointed in the academic rigor here.
    Dorm Life

    The dorms are actually quite nice, though there are few. All three groupings of dorms: the Hill, the Quad, and the Village, have suite bathrooms, as well as large bedrooms with two closets and a desk and chair for each roommate. The residence life staff are very helpful and friendly, as well, and there are always activities going on in the dorm lobbies if one wants to find something to do. Laundry is a tad expensive, however, but there are enough washers and dryers to go around, so that it is never too crowded.
    Food and Dining

    The dining at Auburn is probably one of the biggest problems I have wit the university. First of all, the university has no cafeteria-style venue for dining. Many prospective students or students from other colleges find this hard to believe, but the only types of food venues on the campus are kiosk-type booths for fast food chains and some Auburn-created venues that are similar to Subway and other build your own... type restaurants. The fact that the only dining open on weekends is fast food (Denny's and Chik-Fil-A) further adds to the poor quality of the school's dining. Also, the dining hall in the Hill is of the worst quality, with almost no healthy choices for dining, poor staff availability, and odd dining hours.
    What to do for fun

    Honestly, unless a person is very into partying at fraternity houses and going to bars every weekend, there is little else to openly do for fun besides go to the few restaurants and shops offered downtown. Lake Martin is only a 30-minute drive, offering scenic views and boating, but the nearest city, Atlanta, is almost two hours away.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    The rolling of the tree on Toomer's Corner anytime the football team wins a game is a really interesting tradition that the school has.
    Great for these types of students

    This school is great for students who are from Alabama, as they will probably know many people and have many friends there with them, for students who like big populations of students and large classes, and for students interested in Greek life and football.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are hundreds of clubs and activities, though the ones that seem to stick out the most on campus are the student government association, the Greek organizations, the University Program Council, and IMPACT, a volunteer program.
    Greek Life

    HUGE on campus. Provides most of the social scene at the university. Hard to make friends with many in Greek life if you yourself are not apart of it.

    You definitely won't have a problem finding something to eat because campus has everything. I'm a vegetarian so I was worried I'd just be stuck eating salads but definitely not the case, there's something for everyone.
    What to do for fun

    There is chewacla state park up the road, tigertown, bars right near campus...so much to do!
    Bang for the buck

    I pay out-of-state which is pretty expensive but for the most part I think it is worth it. The gym could be a lot nicer, but they're building a new one.

    TPing trees on Toomer when the football team wins...I just transferred here when we won the national championship and it was definitely an experience I will never forget. Also, stepping on the seal in front of Langdon Hall = bad luck.
    Great for these types of students

    I like AU because campus doesn't cater to specific types of students, everyone feels comfortable and at home here.
    Clubs and Activities

    Lots of different clubs -- something for everyone!
    Greek Life

    Greek life is huge on campus -- just be aware that sorority girls and frat guys are easy to point out

    Auburn is a classy university. The professors really know what they're doing, the students are generally well-mannered and intelligent, and the campus is lovely. Also, anyone who attends there will be challenged in the best of ways.
    Tips for prospective students

    Go to class and take advantage of all the free activities that are always going on on campus.
    Academic Rigor

    There are very few blow-off classes. Even the non-major-related ones require work and studying. For the most part this is a good thing, but you will run into the occasional professor who takes things too far.
    Food and Dining

    Great selection of good food, and it's pretty reasonably priced at most places.
    What to do for fun

    Check out the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Art, walk around the beautiful Arboretum, join a club sports team, have a Nerf gun battle, join the Harry Potter Alliance, take a bowling class, video-game it up at the Student Center... I could go on.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Everyone used to roll the Oaks on Toomer's Corner after every football victory, but then an Alabama fan poisoned them. That was our biggest tradition.
    Great for these types of students

    Most everyone except those wanting to go into video game design or animation or adventure education. Those are the only majors I know of that Auburn doesn't have available.
    Clubs and Activities

    Lots of them.
    Campus Safety

    There are emergency buttons everywhere, and a shuttle that you can call and they'll come get you and take you anywhere on campus.

    I love Auburn. While the classes can be demanding I am glad I chose to come here. I believe it is a wonderful college.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be prepared to study! College isn't all about partying. If you care about your future be ready to put in alot of effort in course work.
    Academic Rigor

    Sometimes it seems the professors may forget we have five to six other classes. You will have to learn time management. Also, don't stress to much, or you will set yourself up for failure.
    Dorm Life

    Never lived in a dorm. But friends tell me they do like the convenient walking distance to class and campus events.
    Food and Dining

    The food at Auburn is better then I expected. It's not the cafeteria food. The student dining located by the aparment style dorms is the best!
    What to do for fun

    Campus events! the sports are so fun to attend. Aubie is adorable! Also, with Opelika being close it is easy to shop at the mall.
    Bang for the buck

    There is pretty cheap restraunts around Auburn. Also, the campus events are for the most part free for the university students, this makes it easy to find something fun and free!

    Toomer's corner! Every one knows Auburn is known for rolling our beautiful trees. However this tradition might not live for long since the poisoning occured! Lets hope we find a soluion to save our precious history!

    Greek Life

    While I am not involved in Greek life I do have several friends that are. They love it. I am unable to afford the fees, I here they can be quite steep but the greek life here does seem to be very fun. Sometimes they may be a bit demanding but they also provide alot of support for the members.
    Campus Safety

    We have campus security. Also there is a shuttle that is on campus all the time that provides rides for the late night study groups to the drunken partiers.

    The beautiful campus of Auburn University has become my home. It is an amazing community of people; the classes are challenging and rewarding. The professors care about individual success and will help in any way they are able.
    Tips for prospective students

    I would suggest to join a Learning Community your Freshman year. I found a large group of like-minded peers who have steadily remained my friends and classmates.
    Academic Rigor

    The classes are challenging. However, if you expend the effort, you will do well.
    Dorm Life

    The dorms are amazing. I suggest living in the Quad, it takes fewer than five minutes to walk to classes. The community feels homey, but in a way with much more freedom.
    Food and Dining

    The food is fantastic. Instead of cafeteria set-ups, the whole campus is covered with varying types of restaurants. They have everything from fast food to home cooking.
    What to do for fun

    Hanging out with friends on the Quad, volunteering at local places, and rolling Toomer's Corner after a win are exceptionally fun activities in Auburn.
    Bang for the buck

    Auburn is extremely reasonably priced for in-state students. The Auburn family is a real entity.

    Rolling Toomer's Corner after a football win is my favorite Auburn tradition.

    Everyone would be happy in Auburn. It has hundreds of organizations, a ridiculously large selection of majors and truly has something for everyone.
    Clubs and Activities

    Auburn had hundreds of clubs and organizations. They are active without consuming your life, and are a fantastic way to make friends.
    Campus Safety

    A Night Securit Shuttle will drive you anywhere on campus after 6pm until 6am. Tiger Transits will take you anywhere during the day. Security personnel can frequently be seen at all hours, and emergency call stations are scattered through campus. The surrounding city is relatively small, quiet, and safe.

    Auburn University is amazing! Once you're there, you're part of the Auburn family. The education is top-knotch, the advisors are incredibly helpful, and the experience is one-of-a-kind.
    Tips for prospective students

    Get involved! Tour the campus, sit in on a class, talk to advisors and current students. A loud WAR EAGLE! is your ticket to talk to just about anyone on campus.
    Academic Rigor

    Academic rigor will depend on what you take. The amount and intensity of work will be different in Honors Engineering than it will be in General Psychology. The teachers tend to be fair in their amount of work and what they expect.
    Dorm Life

    Dorm life is an experience. If you like your space, opt to have a room to yourself (though you will still share a bathroom with up to two people.) Auburn University has different dorm types as of a couple years ago. The Village on campus is an apartment-style dorm that is a little more expensive but provides much of the amenities of an apartment that the dorms do not offer. But whichever you choose, the on-site resident advisors are always well-trained and very friendly.
    Food and Dining

    There is a ton of variety on the Auburn campus. We have our own Chick-Fil-A, Papa John's, Au Bon Pain, Chick-n-Grill, Starbucks, etc. Whether you're looking for a fresh, healthy salad or a juicy burger or steak and fries, one of the campus dining areas will have just the meal (or snack) you're craving.
    What to do for fun

    Auburn has a good amount to offer for weekends and free days. If you're looking for a quiet place to study or just take a walk, the Arboretum on campus is just the spot. If you want to let your inner party animal out, there are plenty of clubs downtown that always offer a good time. There is also a local bowling alley, skating rink, movie theater, water park, art museum, malls, and more.
    Bang for the buck

    Auburn University is not cheap, nor is any college, really. But your degree will be priceless in your life and career and Auburn offers many degree programs and high-quality ones at that.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Football game season in Auburn is always a fun time. Most of the students are sporting their orange and blue gear and team spirit is at an all-time high. After every win, students and locals roll Toomer's Corner with more toilet paper than you ever knew existed.
    Great for these types of students

    Auburn is great for all types of students! They are very accommodating for those with physical and/or learning disabilities. I'd say they are also very helpful for the average student, but Auburn doesn't believe in average students. We are a colorful family of unique individuals and the campus staff is always willing to accommodate any of these individuals with whatever their needs are.
    Clubs and Activities

    There are a huge variety of clubs to join at Auburn. There are also tons of activities that are club- or university-sponsored that non-members can attend.
    Campus Safety

    Campus safety is a top priority at Auburn and it is very evident. The campus guards and cops are very friendly. Auburn also has AU Alert which is a neat program that will send you an email, text, and/or automated phone call if something goes awry or when there is a weather warning.

    Tips for prospective students

    it is a big campus, affectionately called the plains...bring a bike. even though it is a big campus, student say matters!! it is very taliored to student needs and are always open to new ideas. the only negative thing about auburn is student parking sucks :( be prepared to ride the transit system offered by auburn university for au students and faculty. it comes out of your tution so you might as well use it!!
    Academic Rigor

    class difficulty depends on the teaching style of your teacher. some teachers offer loads of extra credit opportunities, others not so much. the teachers i have had are very open, adaptable and approachable. if you, others or the class as a majority have trouble understanding something, they will slow down and even stop until you get it. class size does not matter, at auburn, you are not just a number, you are the student!!!
    Dorm Life

    i have never lived in a dorm, so i am not sure how to rate dorm life, but there are some dorms that are luxury apartment style dorms, and there are other dorms that still remain from the 60s and need rennovation and innovation. it is a first come, first served as to which dorm you are assigned so, good luck!

    there are alot of fast food choices and healthy choices. we have a full chic-fil-a, papa johns, nathans, we also offer chinese, tex-mex, and we have added new healthy options, such as smoothies, yogurts, salads, etc.

    auburn has something special about it that i cannot quite put into words. you have to experience it to understand what people mean by the auburn family, and after you are there, you will never be the same. i have learned the value of being an auburn woman, and i know that will take me far in my future career and personal life.
    Academic Rigor

    auburn is one of the most prestigious colleges in the nation! students are constantly being challenged to think harder and apply their education in ways that both benefit their learning experience and help the community.
    Dorm Life

    living in the dorms for two years was a great way to meet other freshmen and get to know my sorority sisters on the hall during sophomore year. the quad, the hill, and the village each offer great housing options for living on-campus, and it was great being near most of my classes.
    Food and Dining

    auburn has a meal plan for on-campus and off-campus students. on-campus students pay $995, and off-campus students pay $300. the dining options include chik-fil-a, au bon pain, chef's table, panda express, chick-n-grill, denny's, and other options. there are healthy options, if you choose your meals wisely.
    Clubs and Activities

    i have gotten involved in the auburn university marching band by being a baton twirler, but there are also other ways to get involved at auburn. greek life is a great way to meet new people, but there are also many other service organizations and student government opportunities for students to give back to the college they love.
    Greek Life

    auburn is only 30% greek. being in a fraternity or a sorority is a great way to get to know people, but it is perfectly normal to choose not to be in the greek system. there are plenty of other ways to get involved on campus, including student government association, tiger tuesdays, project uplift, best buddies, upc, and much more.
    Campus Safety

    auburn has done a great job in making students feel safe. the tiger transit system, the security night shuttle, and many other safety precautions help students in being safe during all hours of the day and night.

    Tips for prospective students

    for anyone considering attending auburn university, i would just give them these four words: auburn family, all in! if a student just wants to come to school here and get the grades and leave, this isn't the place. everyone here at auburn is here because they want to be apart of the school and the culture, they want to help auburn grow into an even stronger university. making the grades and getting the degree is only half of the fun here at auburn university.
    Academic Rigor

    the classes here are challenging. i would not recommend coming to auburn if you are going to slack off and not do the work. a student has to keep up and really apply themselves. it's not easy, but it is fun.
    Dorm Life

    the dorms on campus are very safe and affordable. some are small, but others are like living in your room at home. there are even offcampus private dorms that are right next to the school, but considered off campus.

    auburn is an amazing school with teachers who care and administration that does everything possible to make sure students get the help they need and deserve. classes are fairly big until you get into a specific major, which can make it difficult to get personal help, but teachers have office hours and most are flexible in order to see each student if necessary. there are so many ways to get involved on campus and the application/interview process is easy and quick for the most part.
    Tips for prospective students

    get as involved as possible without overloading yourself, it is easy to say you want to do something and not take the time to actually do it and on the other hand it is easy to get too involved in too many things and not be able to put enough time and energy into what you need to be doing. classes are hard and you need time to study and relax, but you also want to be involved in extracurricular activities to have an outlet, just make sure you have a balanced schedule with classes, relaxation, studying, and fun.
    Academic Rigor

    i would say most classes are fairly hard, but the teachers make themselves available for any problems or questions you might have. you need plenty of time for studying and homework, but going to class on a regular basis and paying attention to lectures makes it easier to cope with the difficulty of each class.
    Dorm Life

    the dorms are pretty nice, especially the village dorms where you have your own room and share a common room with three others. there are quiet hours to make it easier to sleep/study and the ra's do an okay job of keeping everything in order and students happy. the location of two of the three dorms is not always convenient, but with campus being so small you really can not expect them to be.
    Food and Dining

    the food on campus is good and there are a lot of choices, but since there is only one buffet it can get repetitive eating the same things all year. the prices of some of the food is also fairly high, but the quality of the food is good.
    What to do for fun

    for fun you can go off campus to tiger town or into downtown auburn to eat and go into some of the stores (although it is pretty small). on campus there are clubs and organizations, as well as, intramural sports and regular games to attend pretty much year round. and then of course there is always just hanging out with friends outside samford or cater hall or inside the student center.
    Bang for the buck

    it is a fairly reasonable tuition and there is a meal plan for on and off campus students that carries over between semesters each year. there are also scholarship opportunities for those in and out of state, since it can be rather expensive to attend a 4 year college
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    of course there is the tradition of rolling toomer's trees and getting toomer's lemonade, the best lemonade in the world. and then before every home football game seeing the eagle fly out while thousands of people are shouting the same war eagle. and one of my favorite things to hear on campus is the fight song coming from samford hall every day at 12:00.
    Great for these types of students

    for people who want to go to a school with tons of school spirit and tradition, and at the same time feel like you belong to a family who all share the same pride and excitement at belonging to this school
    Clubs and Activities

    there are so many different clubs and activities that you are introduced to several days each semester to make applying as easy as possible. the biggest clubs being sga, tiger tuesdays, and upc, plus so many others for all kinds of students and activities.
    Campus Safety

    campus is really safe with the safety poles all around and the transit system during the day going on and off campus. then at night the toomers ten for students off campus, and the safety shuttle for students on campus make it easy and safe to get around.

    The classes are hard, but not impossible. All the professors want you to do well and are willing to help in any way they can if you just ask. The professors, or atleast the ones I had, try to make class interesting and easy to understand. The classes that are known for being hard like biology have SI sessions. SI is taught by a student who has already passed the class and holds a session at night to review material and help guide students on what to study.

    Auburn is a big school, but feels like a small school. The campus is beautiful with everything in walking distance. There are many things to get involved with on campus. Greek life is part of Auburn, but not huge. There are also many ways to get involved in SGA. Tiger Tuesdays, which I joined my freshman year, is a freshman only branch of SGA. You meet tons of new people and get your foot in the door of becoming a leader on campus. There are also intramural teams for any sport you can think of. There are so many ways to discover Auburn and become involved. Auburn also offers SEC football!! Game days are the best days ever! The campus transforms to a tailgaters paradise and everyone is rocking their orange and blue. The student section at Jordan-Hare Stadium is the best place to be...ever! Everyone is best friends and yells the fight song and cheers together. Nothing beats game day in Auburn..NOTHING! And rolling Toomers Corners after a win in one of the best experiences in the world. You have to see it to believe it!

    Im from out-of-state so tuition is super expensive, but I think its totally worth it!! Auburn is like one big family. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. There is always something to do on campus and so many ways to get involved. The food on campus is also awesome! No cafeteria food! The academics are also top notch. Learning is a top priority at Auburn and the stats prove it. There are also multiple resources available to students on campus like a writing center, student tutoring, repair shop, research experts, book rental, study rooms, and so much more! And of course you get football which is a HUGE plus!
    Tips for prospective students

    GET INVOLVED! Go to everything, do anything you can just to see what you like. You never know what you might end up liking or who you will meet.
    Great for these types of students

    Anyone! but really everyone fits in at Auburn!

    In each class that I have experienced so far, I have come out learning more than I thought I would. The teachers have been extremely helpful by trying to spice up their material and make their classes fun to be in. They have also been cool with answering questions both in and out of class.

    Honestly, I didn't even want to go to Auburn. It was my parent's choice and not mine. But after spending the first few nights on campus, I don't think I could have been happier anywhere else. AU is probably one of the prettiest college campus in the country and is filled with the nicest and most helpful people you can find. There are also fun parties all the time, but no one makes you feel obligated to go. It was easy to make friends, and there is always something on campus to do! The only downfall is the shopping scene. We have a mall about 2 miles from campus but the better ones are in Birmingham, Columbus, and Atlanta.
    Bang for the buck

    Most events and services at Auburn (concerts, SGA, UPC, and sports events, cooking workshops, personal trainers, gym classes, etc.) are free with the exception of football tickets and even then students receive a HUGE discount. The amenities are great from the dorms to the dining halls. There are no community bathrooms anywhere on campus and there are over 30 places to choose from to eat. Most things that you need are within a few miles of the campus and there are transit systems that run 24 hours and take you anywhere on campus as well as to off-campus apartments and even Wal-Mart all for small fee included in tuition. The school also offers a rental car service for extremely low prices for students.
    Tips for prospective students

    Let me start by saying that as a student, family member, visitor or whoever, TAKE THE PARKING ZONES, RULES, AND FINES SERIOUSLY! AU does not hesitate to give tickets, tow, or put a boot on your car if you fail to heed their warnings or read the signs especially for home football games. Even if only for 30 seconds to run something in to leave on a teacher's desk, DON'T DO IT. Secondly, If you are going to come to Auburn, don't come in with the mindset that you will be able to breeze through your classes like you might have in high school or that you will be the smartest in your classes. At AU everyone else was talented enough to get in which means they are also extremely smart or gifted academically like you. Every class is designed to challenge you and push you to new limits, and they probably will. Also, do not fall victim to the typical college is the place to party and break free from the rules of society mindset because while we have fun, at AU school is the top priority for most students. Finally, come to Auburn University with the intention to open up, meet new people, learn a lot, and have tons of fun!

    Auburn would be a great school for students who enjoy the family kind of feel, where they will know lots of people and still have their own group of friends where they fit in perfectly. Auburn is great for the go-getters and has a huge student population, but it doesn't feel that way at all. There are hundreds of organizations that cover almost every aspect you can imagine as well as formed partnerships within Auburn that can lead to great opportunities for personal fulfillment as well as long-term connections. AU also cares a lot about the community and the environment so for people who like to help others and the world around us, the possibilities are endless. Additionally, if you take academics seriously and want the chance to be the best in what you desire, come to AU and let our faculty and staff help lead the way. Finally, if you love sports then you will fit right in because here in Auburn we are ALL IN for our AUBURN TIGERS!

    I am in the Honors College and the Chemical Engineering program here at AU, and from day one you are thrust into the program. There is a faculty here that is very impressive and will do their best to assist you in any way possible. All of the classes you take here, especially those in-major, will benefit you academically in some way.

    Campus life at Auburn is excellent. There is a very high sense of affiliation among the students; they are proud to call themselves tigers. The University Program Council does a good job of finding talent to come and perform for students, and offers many extracurricular activities to become involved in.
    Bang for the buck

    Auburn is an excellent school academically and socially, but for out of state students you really need a scholarship or two. Thankfully, AU is good about giving out university scholarships to incoming freshmen. However, as they are competitive, it is important to retain success once you are enrolled.
    Tips for prospective students

    Inform yourself before accepting your admission offer. Make sure that you are making the best decision for yourself. Don't worry if you don't know just yet what you want to study, people rarely do as freshmen. Do your best to build a strong resume in high school and start getting involved on campus early if you come here. You won't regret it. Keep your head up and make friendships early on, as these will come in handy often, that is, all the time. Finally, get involved with your professors. Go in during office hours and help them match a name to a face. Establishing good relationships with professors will certainly assist you in later years.
    Great for these types of students

    Type A personalities, strong academic students, athletes, students with a desire to learn and to work hard, students looking for challenges and for success. It will be tough and you will work hard but you will certainly enjoy yourself along the way.

    Auburn is the best atmosphere for anything you are looking for. The fall is consumed by football season which is great. After an Auburn win, you can always go down to Toomer's Corner and roll our oak trees with toilet paper, then grab a nice cold lemonade at Toomer's Drugs! Auburn is a great place to sit outside and run or do any activity you want. Auburn also has many social fraternities and sororities that you can get involved in.

    Auburn has challenged me academically in every subject. English, which has always been an easy subject for me, has required me to go in for extra help and to remain 100% engaged in each paper I've written. The science classes have been very difficult, but I know I'm learning a lot when the material begins to stick and becomes easier to recall and apply.

    Auburn is a great place; there's plenty of places to go to unwind from classes and offers a fun and challenging academic experience.

    Though a lot more expensive for out of state students, I think Auburn is worth the price paid (19,000 dollars for out of state). It allows students from all backgrounds the opportunity to learn together in the classroom as well as about each other.
    Tips for prospective students

    take as many high level classes in high school as possible, study hard for every upcoming test even if you think you don't need to, study with friends and fellow classmates, be optimistic!

    Auburn University is a wonderful place to pursue a higher education and prepare to the career world. It offers exceptional classes in many different fields of study and the staff is extremely helpful in guiding you through the program. In addition to challenging classes, there are countless ways to be involved on campus. From yearbook, to satellite building groups, to volunteering you can fill your plate extremely quickly with great opportunities that will contribute to the university and help build your resume as well. If you decide to complete a program at Auburn University, you become a member of a familly that stretches worldwide, and one of the greatest helps is having that connection with people when trying to enter a career. Auburn Alumni really go out of their way to help new graduates get good jobs. Even if the person interviewing you isn't an Auburn Alumni, having Auburn as your Alma Mater really places you above a lot of other graduates vying for the same job because employers know that Auburn offers some of the best education and job experience to their students.
