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)

I'm not sure if any kind of student would feel out of place at Auburn. There are so many diverse groups of people. The student body is so welcoming even if a student of a different race, religion, or socio-economic background came to Auburn he or she would be welcomed by everyone, not just those who share common interests. In the dining hall usually people just sit with people they already know or are friends with, but this doesn't necessarily mean that certain groups of people seclude themselves from other groups. There are many extracurricular activities and groups that welcome all kinds of people to join.

i think muslims might be out of place on campus. everyone else fits in and finds their own group. i like to mingle and befriend everyone, so i was always satisfied.

Auburn is a VERY Christian university. It is in the deep south though so what can you expect. In terms of LGBT groups on campus, I personally have not seen any even though I am sure they exist. A student from up north would probably feel out of place at first, getting used to the Southern culture is a big difference. Also somebody from a big city might have some culture shock. Most girls wear t-shirts and running shorts to class with tennis shoes or rainbows. In the winter it is jeans and t-shirts with a northface or a sweatshirt and for shoes tennis shoes and uggs. Boys usually dress up a little more for class, like jeans or khaki shorts (NO jean shorts) and an oxford or a polo. Boys usually wear croakies also, and some girls do to. Different types of students do interact, when given the chance. Most times though, most students hang out with their "group". I don't know if many people eat at the on campus dining hall because a meal plan is not required for freshman or if you live on campus. Personally I have never been in one besides orientation. Auburn students are from Alabama and Georgia for the most part. It is nice though because on breaks, all your college friends are so close to home. Many students also come from Florida and a few will come from random places around the USA like my roommate is from PA. The most prevalent financial background is upper middle class and middle class. There are political groups on campus, such as the college republicans and college democrats. These groups work to spread awareness especially with the upcoming presidential election. They also set up tables on the concourse outside of Haley center where students can register to vote. Auburn is definately a conservative school. And yes, students do talk about how much they will earn one day, but not obsessively.

Auburn University consists of many different types of students, and there are no stereotypical groups of different types of people that i have noticed. Of course, most girls in the same sorority and guys in fraternity hanging out more, but that's expected. Jeans and T-shirts are the most prevalent dress attire on campus. It's funny how an 11am class now feels so early, and i never have time to get ready before class.

Auburn is very diverse. In one place you could have sororities and in another goth. The thing about Auburn is that these two groups can interact with each other. There really is not dividing line. Everyone really is nice to everyone. I love goig to the Foy for lunch. The food is great and I can sit by myself without being stared at, but usually you will find someone you know to sit with. There is always something going on or something you can be a part of.
