Auburn University Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at Auburn University accurate?

Stephanie

no

Blair

Not at all but i have heard a lot of people say this. I also think that auburn needs to be careful about the people that we allow to speak on our behalf. This is important because they are the voices that represent our university as a whole.

Amy

No, they are all just exaggerated things that might be found in Auburn, but do not correctly apply to Auburn as a whole.

Kristina

I think all of these stereotypes could go either way. It depends on the person. But i really do think if you're a true auburn studend you do love it!

Alex

Not at all. The culture is very diverse.

Sara

I mean we live in Alabama... there are going to be country people, but no we are not a bunch of rednecks.

Aubrie

For some, yes, and for others, no. Almost everyone I have met, however, is from the south.

Brittany

yes

Barbara

There are some "country Folk" at the school, but no more so than any other "type"

Allie

yes, i believe so.

Meredith

partially

Carly

Yes, I think that Auburn is a large university still with a small town feel.

Allison

Somewhat, yes, but greek students aren't even close to being in the majority.

Katherine

No

Ali

No, I don't think the agriculture schools take up that much of the university, or enough to make it a "farm school."

Julia

No, Auburn has such a diversity of people.

Sarah

depends on the person but i think for the most part Alabama is a little crazier

Kris

nope

Brooke

Sometimes

Alli

Yes and no, many greeks are intelligent and the stereotypes of the way people act is not ever true, you can't generalize a whole group and believe every one is like that. I can truly say that in my sorority we have a great group of girls that are so diverse, and being here for a couple years now, I know there are a variety of people in all groups. However, we are in the south and many men have the southern hospitality charm. Auburn is traditional and the cars I see around and the people I meet seem to be upper-middle class and seem that their parents are well off.
