Auburn University Top Questions

The worst thing about my school is the mandatory meal plan. Each student, whether they live on campus or off campus must have a meal plan. I live off campus and still have to pay $300 for food that I now feel obligated to eat. I enjoy eating healthy and therefore cook my own meals, but I feel like I am wasting my parents' money when I don't want to use the meal money they have to pay on unhealthy food options.

I honestly can't say anthing bad about Auburn. We are a great college.

Parking is horrible for people that live on campus because it is very hard to find parking spots and on game weekends cars have to be moved to parking lots that are very far away from campus.

How easy it is to get alcohol, how many bars there are around.

The worst thing about my school is the cost of tuition for out of state residents. The cost of out of state tution is 3 times the amount of in-state tuition.

The worst thing about Auburn is the lack of academic advising that we receive. I transferred from a junior college with 73 hours. When I came to orientation my advisor failed to tell me that only 61 of those hours would transfer. Every time I would contact her with a question she would not respond. Then I decided to just go to her office with my questions, when I asked her about a class, she responded, "I really don't know", is there anything else I can help you with today?" I said "Yes, the question I just asked you."

Auburn university cost a lot to students about housing and meal.

I feel that Auburn University is slightly too spread out and it would be less of an inconvenience if the school and its students were focused in a more concentrated area.

The worst thing about the school is the traffic during home football games.

The English department sucks.

Although it is truly hard to find negatives about Auburn University, my main complaint is the emphasis on Greek life. Being in a sorority or fraternity is not a neccessity but I feel there is a great pressure to join a Greek social organization.

School transportation is limited. I only live only about five minutes from campus, but my neighborhood is large and school transportation does not go into large, narrow neighboorhoods such as mine.

The worst thing about Auburn is trying to get classes you need.

you have less time then it feels like you do make sure not to get behing on your studies

The surrounding city is a little too small/cramped to deal with the number of students here. The housing and traffic can be somewhat problematic.

We focus too much on sports and not academics. What happens on the football field seems to outweigh what happens on campus too often. Some students are here to learn and not here to watch football all the time so if we could all make that the first priority it'd help out a lot.

I consider the lack of hands on/technical experience in my field RTVF to be very disheartening, because it may not give me the edge to compete against other schools that may have more money to spend on this part of education.

The lack of career advising and assistance in directing students to an appropriate profession based on their skills and interest

Most of the students here are not academically minded. There is too much emphasis placed on football and partying.

Parking at Auburn is a terrible problem for students. Many students have to park far away at night, so this is dangerous, especially for the women students. Also, it is such a stressful situation when students are late or have to miss class because they could not find a parking spot in time.
