Auburn University Top Questions

Tough but great.

REALLY high standards with academics. Even in the easiest classes, you will get a run for your money.Class participation is big, but you can also do well if you don't go to class, ONLY if you are very independent and good at teaching yourself. Classes are pretty small minus your big into lecture courses like chemistry and biology. Students are pretty competitive, but friendly. I am a pre med major and it is very difficult here, but it is do able. Professors have office hours, which you can choose to attend or not, but they are all very nice and work with you so you can do well!

Many professors try to learn students names, most work hard at making classes interesting, and assistance outside of class is plentiful. Writing centers, tutors, extensive libraries in 3 locations on campus.& open 24 hrs 6 days a week. In class participation is very common & encouraged & required in some classes. The AUPE classes are in wide variety to include, walking, jogging, bowling, and even belly dancing occasionally. The academic requirements are typical and set a bit higher than some schools, & one of the reasons it is a very prestigious & sought after university.

At Auburn the classes can go as well as you want them to. If you are active in the class and try to make an effort you will succeed. Some of the classes can be rather large but the professor can still get to know you if you try and mingle with them. I feel that in my classes, biomedical sciences, that i am getting a very solid education and that i am learning very well. In my classes i have found a group of other students to be competitive with and make the class more engaging. The classes can be as competitive or noncompetitive as you make them. Here it is all about what you put in.

you might have already seen some websites for the rankings in each program. Its like one of the best in offering all professional and varied programs.

This depends alot on your major, i have taken some art classes and those professors will take the time to get to know their students. In any class though, if you take the time to go to a professor's office hours or talk to them before or after class they will remember you.

The professors knew my name because I was the only non-white in my grad class. It is the typical football u academics, not that hard and pretty easy if you do the work. I found the business and building construction professors still have a problem with minorities in their classes especially in grad classes. I found about half of them very unprofessional.

Professors don't seem to know my name, but I'm not one to speak up much, so I may not be the best judge. It does seem as though they're a little more unapproachable than I'd anticipated. If you can get in the honors college, do- the classes are more intellectually stimulating, and the benefits (registration, housing, etc.) are almost unfair. I've never sensed anything remotely like "competition" in the classroom. Grades aren't all that important to a lot of people, and good grades aren't too difficult to attain here.
