What is the stereotype of students at Auburn University? Is this stereotype accurate?

Whitney

Most people who are not from the state of Alabama, characterize Alabama as redneck and southern. Now yes, Auburn is in the south and there are southern people that go here, but Auburn University should definitely not be characterized as "redneck" . In all actuality, Auburn is a very diverse campus with people from all over the country, and even the world. Even the students that go here that are from Alabama should not be considered "rednecks". They are intelligent, educated people, the southern drawl that they have just adds even more to their uniqueness. Overall, Auburn is more than just a big university in a small college town, it really is a melting pot of people from all walks of life and each person adds something that makes Auburn unique.

The stereotype that Auburn is full of small minded rednecks is mostly true. You will see the majority of students that look, dress and act all the same. The biggest student event at Auburn is the Rodeo. So yeah, the stereotype is supported.
