I love living in the dorms. It was a great way to get to know not only other students but also the campus very well. The dorms were very nice and i will be living in them next year also.

Auburn activities and social life is what makes the Auburn experience. The most popular groups and organizations on campus are the Greek Organizations, SGA, UPC and Encounter. The organizations/groups give a student the opportunity to meet many new people and become involved within Auburn's campus.
Being in a fraternity or sorority is important at Auburn. This is where you will meet your best friends that will be your long term friends. Being in a sorority has opened so many doors and to understand that one would have to be apart of one.

I always leave my dorm door open so people can drop by and say hi. I joined a sorority at the beginning of the year and it has been great. There is aways an event to go to and having a boyfriend in a fraternity is fun too. I dont know what people do if they dont go greek. I have met so many people in the greek system. Football season is huge. Everyone tailgates all day before going to the game. The girls all dress up in cute little sundresses and they guys are typically in button downs or polos and slacks. The fraternityl pledges have to wear a suit and tie which really sucked for them when it was hot outside.

The most popular groups here are the greek life, SGA, and the athletic department. I have been involved in SGA and I am involved in sorority. Students in the dorm do leave their doors open. I have been here for 2 years and never really lock my door. People are always up and either at the library at night or partying somewhere. There is always something to do!

One of the great things about Auburn is its laid back atmosphere: If you are Greek (in a sorority or fraternity), great. You love Auburn and your Greek life. If you are not Greek, great. You love Auburn and your non-Greek life. If you want to party like crazy, you can find plenty of people to party with all of the time. If you want to study like crazy, you can find plenty of people to study with all of the time. I think that most students, myself included, have a good balance of fun and academics.
My closest friends are people I lived with in the Quad dorms my freshman year as well as the people I have had honors classes with.

Football is the biggest thing in Auburn. EVERYONE goes to gamedays and it is one of the funnest things at Auburn. People know when to party and when to study so it is a good mixture. I never feel pressured to go out when I have a test the next day.

I was involved in Tiger Tuesdays when i was a freshman. all i heard was how fun and rewarding the program was so i applied to be a part of this group. I hated it. I was in REACH and i felt like it was poorly organized and i didnt feel like i did anything to "REACH" out to people who needed it. I didnt leave one meeting feelng like i influenced or helped someone. i didnt feel like i had a voice at all and i was confused about why everyone loved this program or what the program was even about. When people asked me what the group was about, i didnt know what to say.

I am involved in a social sorority. This is the first thing that I became involved with at Auburn. It has been a great way to meet people and get involved. I am also a Project Uplift volunteer. I really enjoy this group because it is volunteer work, and it is a lot of fun!
Kristina
There is so much to do. You can be invovled in anything you really want if you just try and put yourself out there. its cool either way if your in a fraternity or sorority. Personally, i dont really like some of the frat guys..like the ones that think they are cool just bc they are in a fraternity..?
Alex
I am involved with UPC in the group Major Entertainment. It is a lot of fun and having the concerts is a blast! Im also involved with the social sorority Pi Beta Phi. It has been a blessing in my life to meet all those wonderful girls!

Our activities on campus are amazing as well. We have all kinds of concerts, movies, workshops, etc. etc. etc for all kinds of people! And best of all it's all FREEEEE!!! That's right I said FREE!! We are actually having an Akon and Soulja Boy concert tonight for the students that is free! Last year we had Miranda Lambert, Dierks Bentley, and Augustana! Our University Program Council (UPC) is awesome and they schedule all kinds of activities for the students. They have free showings of movies that haven't come out on video yet. They often hold these outside "under the stars". Auburn football is what it's all about in the Fall!! From Wednesday night until Sunday on a home football weekend... it's all about football and most students start the tailgating and drinking on Wednesday night! Other athletics are important and students go to them, but nothing is like football!! Auburn's party scene is really good, but if you don't party it's not a bog deal. Most people go out on the weekends more than during the week, obviously because of school. The bars are fun and our fraternities have good parties that pretty much anyone can come to so it's a great time!

I met my closest friends in my sorority. We spend so much time together that we're basically forced to get to know eachother extremely well. I'm also very close with my suitemates because we also spend a lot of time together.

Greek life at Auburn dominates the social scene. I am a member of Pi Phi sorority and most people I know are a member of a greek organization. I met my closest friends during rush and during my pledgship.
I did not know one person when I came to Auburn and although rush was not all that fun at first, I met incredible people throughout the process...I think its a great way to meet lots of girls who will all end up joinging different sororities (that way you know lots of people in other sororities- which I think is important).
There are a handful of bars downtown auburn and they are packed on the weekends.
There is a movie theater, bowling alley, skating rink and other fun activities if you do not want to drink

Athletic events are VERY popular as well as VERY fun. Football season is fantastic at Auburn. The Auburn community really is (despite the differences amongst students in activities, classes, etc.) apart of one big family.
Barbara
Not being in a big city, the campus activities become very important. THis is also why Greek Life is strong. Football is the core of Fall activity. Spring is so beautiful on campus that the students just love being out and about.

Auburn is 30{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} greek! Also, students are very involved with athletics intramural and competitive! Almost everyone goes to football games and is very supportive of the school. The dating scene is great! We have many guest speakers who actually are very informative. There are many activities on campus so that I do not even have to leave the campus. There are also many activities that do not involve drinking, such as free movie nights at the student union.
Carly
Some people may go out 1 to 2 times during the week and then on the weekend. I think it depends on the student, but on Wednesday night you will usually find a large crowd of students in downtown Auburn.
