Auburn University Top Questions

I feel that Auburn is a very diverse school. A student being another color from a totally different country not knowing English would feel out of place here. Most students wear a t-shirt and shorts or comfortable clothes to class. Yes different students interact. I am apart of the Greek organiztion and a lot of times I am in study groups with non Greeks.

Auburn's student body is like no other. There is not much diversity, but the pride is overwhelming. We call it the Auburn Family and there could not be a better truth to that phrase.

My experiences with racial, religious, LGBT, socio-economic et al groups is somewhat limited by a) the Auburn culture, b) my status as a graduate student and c) by the fact that so many organizations exist on campus. A student who does not belong to a Greek organization, an African American student who is not an athlete and a graduate student in general would feel out of place at Auburn due to a) the predominant white/Greek/Republican/football-oriented culture and b) the fact that most graduate students have lives and careers outside their graduate classes. Most students practice informal dress codes on campus. Different types of students do not interact most of the time. The four tables of students in the dining hall are one for African American students, one for white students, one for avant grade people and one for students from the same country. Most Auburn students are from the state of Alabama and the surrounding Southeast. I really do not what financial backgrounds are most prevalent, though I can guess that middle class is the plurality background. Based on attendance at debates between the College Democrats and College Republicans and the level of participation in SGA elections, I would say that students are not politically active. They are predominantly right. They do not talk a lot about how much they'll earn one day.

I have not had experiences with any groups on campus. Sometimes there is the Black Student Union on campus, but they just keep to themselves. - I've seen every kind of student at Auburn so I don't think that there is a student who would feel out of place. - Most students wear jeans and t-shirts to class. - No, the different student types normally keep to their own group. - The frat/sorority. The blacks. The grunge/punk. The smart kids. - Most Auburn students are from the south of the United States. - Students are mostly from middle class families. - Students are predominantly conservative, but most are not involved in politics. - Yes, students want to earn a lot of money when they have a job.

Auburn is not a very diverse place. Almost all of the students who are not athletes are Caucasian, and most of them are middle-class fraternity brothers (or so it seems). Homosexual students probably do not feel very welcome at Auburn, because we have a lot of street preachers who yell at them from time to time. Most Auburn students are from Alabama and Georgia, though we get a few from other states. Students are predominantly right-wing neoconservatives, but the Democrat minority is very outspoken. I have never had a conversation about future salary with another student, and I don't expect that I ever will. Most people aren't concerned with impressing others about their standard of living after graduation.

There are many different diverse groups at Auburn, which makes us seem so homey. Although most students at AU are conservative, all are involved politically some kind of way. We are always optimistic about what life will be like after college, though we'll miss the great university that teaches us life lessons.

I wear my pajamas to class; the point of going to class isn't to impress people. Most students who go to Auburn are from Alabama but a good chunk come from Tennessee, Georgia and Florida. When you think of Auburn students you think of Right wing but it surprised me with how many Liberals were on campus. I've never really heard students talk about money, especially how much they'll make some day.

The pride Auburn students have for their school never stops amazing me. Walking around campus on any given day you see more Auburn shirts than any other shirt. Every student takes so much pride it is truly a wonderful thing to be a part of.

Auburn is a very diverse campus and not one person would feel out of place here. Every background is represented here at our university. Someone wearing sweatpants and no make up to class will not get odd stares nor would one who wore black slacks and high heels to class. The diversity of our campus makes us a desirable school for anyone from any background.

-Southern Religious people. It is the Typical "Southern" University -You can find everything as far as what people wear. Flip-Flops and Sunglasses are a must -Most students from Alabama or Ga. Although some from Mississippi, and Texas (Southern States) -Higher Class (financial Background) -Not much talk about money (Old Southern Money)
