Auburn University Top Questions

Mostly, no. If you're looking for a booming college town (entertainment-wise) Auburn isn't it. Definitely not. But the town is nice and (most of the time) peaceful. People aren't *really* that dumb, but you meet a few. And those few will REALLY make you wonder about the admissions policies.

For those outside of Alabama, no, not at all. We are as civilized as anyone else, maybe more. But in some instances, the Greek sterotype is true.

Not everyone is a frat boy or sorority girl. There is a pretty big variety of people on campus, you just have to be active in the university life so you can meet them. A lot of people do wear either Uggs, short skirts or Northface jackets. Most do not wear them all in combination, but some do.

As I said before, the stereotypes are only partly true.

Sure, we do have the best agriculture school in the nation. Yes, we have put many astronauts in space, but we are a school that is great in all academics. We rank as one of the best schools in the nations for getting quality education for money. As for football, we do have a large amount of school spirit in the sport; but we exhibit that same spirit in all of our sports. It is the same spirit that has cheered us on to countless national championships.

there is most likely about 20{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} more sourthern students there compared to other schools but by no means is it redneck. id say its just as equally ballanced as any other school

Mostly, yes.

We definitely live and breathe football. There are many reasons why Auburn is the best university down south and football is one of them. We take pride in our football program and do not take a loss lightly. The Iron Bowl (when we play University of Alabama) is the biggest attraction in our state and you have to be here to experience the excitement and thrill of every play during that game. Our school, as far as stuck up people go, has the normal distribution of social classes. Yes, there are definitely people that think they are better than others but I would think it is like this at every university across the country.

Yes

For the most part, the stereotypes are accurate. One of the most exciting aspects of being a student at Auburn is attending the football games. They provide an intense environment for students to express team and school spirit. Another typical stereotype is that you will not get the most fulfilling experience out of being a college student unless you are in a sorority or fraternity. Speaking from experience, this is definitely not true. I am not in a sorority but still feel very connected with the student body. There are so many diverse groups and clubs to become involved in, so if being in a sorority doesn't meet your individual wants or needs there is most definitely something that will.
