Is the stereotype of students at Auburn University accurate?

Lindsay

nope

I have found that this is mostly true. I think people are more active and involved that i expected, which is good. But i was a little bit let down when i realized just how conservative most students are. There are some very close-minded students here, but you learn to look past them and find the ones that you can have a two-sided conversation with. Either way, both types of students really add to your college experience. I've learned who i am and who i am not by the different interactions i have had with people here.

Katie

somewhat because it a southern school but you can easily not get involved in these stereotypes if you dont want to

Andy

while there is the occasional redneck and bitchy stuck up sorority girl, i have found lots of cool people here and dont think the stereotypes are a fair representation

Melanie

nooooooo

Riley

Absolutely not.

Sarah

I dont't think so

Leslie

I do not think these are acurate. However, I am sure there is an individual who fits each description.

Amy

Not all of them. Everyone dresses prettymuch the same and this was especially obvious to me being an out of state student. The students here seem to be overall pretty well off financially and I have not met a single "hick."

not always

Ashley

For sometimes

Emily

not at all

We are Southern; however, we are growing and it is becoming harder and harder to get in, so having smart and involved students is very important! The girls at Auburn are also very classy and beautiful! Not to mention our athletic department is one of the best!

I think that these stereotypes have truth to them, but are not entirely accurate. Auburn is made up of mostly white students, but they are all of different backgrounds, hometowns, beliefs. In addition, we have minority students here from the US as well as from all over the world. Auburn does have a great small town feel; there are a lot of kind people here, and it is a very safe place for students. Last but not least, the stereotype about Auburn athletics is true - we have great athletics in everything from swimming to track and field to football and more! Great athletes and loyal fans!
