Describe the students at Auburn University.

Sarah

i was suprised by how separated the school is racially. I was expecting it to be much more diverse. Even still, everyone has respect for each other. We never have racial problems but we just don't mingle as much i would like. The student body is prodominately right wing but not everyone is and you can definitely find groups and atmospheres other than that if you want. Everyone is very laid back. I think that is one reason why i love Auburn so much. Girls don't have to dress up to go to class. Most people where t-shirts and jeans or shorts everyday. Students do not talk about money. I don't feel like there is any sort of class tension. No one cares if you drive a range rover or a ford escort. We get along and have friends that have money and don't.

There have never been any issues of race or religion that I know of or have been involved in. Mostly students wear shorts or jeans and a tshirt to class. I live off campus and do not eat in the dining hall. Most student are from Alabama. If students are from out of state they are usually from a wealthy family because tuition is more expensive out of state.

Katie

I think Auburn has a very diverse student body. Anybody can come here and find an instant group of friends that share the same interests as them.

Katie

Most students wear t-shirts and comfortable clothes to class. Most auburn students are from Alabama or Georgia. Many of the students are pretty well off financially.

Anne

Study body is good, diverse, everything that's good. Rich, poor, moderate, there's all types and I think all types get along pretty well. An exception to that is blacks/whites...if you've read juicy campus its very obvious there's a problem, but otherwise I wouldn't have noticed a problem because of how little I see people of these races interact.

Blake

some are students are kind of closed-minded.

Katie

i believe that at any campus there is going to be clashes between races and people with different religions and background. i have never experienced a violent act though between students because of an issue like this. most students wear tshirts and jeans/ shorts to class, which i love. there is no need to dress up for class. most of the auburn students i know are from the south, but i feel and have experienced that more "northern" people are coming down and i love it. its always good to have a good mix of people and it continues to show that auburn is a diverse place and were not all southern rednecks like we have been stereotyped.

Kara

our student body is amazing, we all respect each other and love each other!

Katie

The majority of Auburn's student body is from the south and participate in greek life. Like many others, I tend to stick with the people of my same race with many of the same religious and political ideas. This is not always on purpose, but it often works out that way with the groups of friends i make.

Andy

auburn is extremely segregated, which is something i dont really like... someone who probably wouldnt like auburn was a homosexual male.. just because a lot of the guys here are very traditional and dont support that.. all kinds of financial backgrounds are prevalent.. most people in greek orgs are pretty well off
