Auburn University is the definition of what I like to call "family". The relationships and guidance you gain from Auburn is such a blessing. Its hard to get home sick while attending Auburn because of the small town homey atmosphere. I love Auburn and will be a forever Auburn Tiger!

Auburn is a great school. It is a great small college town school with a very welcoming feel. The best part about the school for me has to be the sports. We have a huge sports program and going to watch all of the games is a thrill. People get very involved in these games and make the atmosphere very exciting at all of the events. Also I love the dining options we have on campus. The one thing i don't like is the lack of parking at the school. This is an issue that is currently being dealt with though. Overall the faculty at Auburn is very helpful and nice, they are willing to help with any situation that i have encountered or heard other people encounter.

The best thing about Auburn University is the Auburn Family. Everyone has a great sense of school spirit and pride and this is especially evident on game day. Winning season or losing season, Auburn students and alumni are all in. As the last line of our creed says, "I believe in Auburn and love it".

Its like, huge college and got all facilites like transport within college, online library, lots of parking space and sports day is such a pride, Football. War Eagle!!

Auburn is, in my opinion, one of the greatest universities in the southeast. Auburn has a lot of students, but it has such a small town feel to it. Being from a relatively small town I was a little nervous about coming to a school with such a large number of students, but I have never felt like just another person. I have had some awesome professors who absolutely love what they teach and have shared their passion for the subject with me. Being in Auburn has also provided a great deal of opportunity for me, including traveling outside the United States, meeting people from all different cultures, and learning from some of the most intelligent people I have ever met. Of course, every one has heard about Auburn football. And it is like nothing else I have ever experienced. I look forward to Saturdays in the fall because it is like a family in and of itself.

I love Auburn so much! From the first time I set foot on campus I knew I could see myself here. The student body, alumni, professor, and fans, are all part of the Auburn family and we all love our traditions and our football! Game days are incredible! Auburn is just the right size in my opinion, with 25,000 undergrad we're big, but not huge. We are most definitely a college town and its perfect!

I think it's a good school academically and there is definitely a lot of great people to meet. Entertainment-wise, gotta get out of the college town and into Atlanta for some fun.

From what I have gathered from the past two years here is that people here didn't pick the school because of any academic reasons but because of the intense hate they have for the University of Alabama football team or because there is a long family tradition of going to Auburn. People really don't come to Auburn because it is a pinnacle of academia unless they are from Mississippi where the educational system is worse.

The best thing about Auburn is the reputation. It ranks highly in many categories and tends to generate a positive response when people ask where I attend school. I'm not particularly fond of campus life or student culture here (see above), but am sticking it out because I have a nice scholarship. The place is beautiful, but the novelty of living in a nice place with school spirit has worn off. I encourage students who don't feel like they fit in to try to find things to do off-campus (find a job, join a church, do community service, etc.) because (ironically) the town and its people are actually really cool, diverse, and more socially "progressive." (US News ranked Auburn a top 10 place to live and Auburn High is a top 30 public school in the nation.) Doing these things has gotten me through the past several years.

Auburn University is a great university if: 1. You know a large group of people already attending the school and you intend to be friends with these people for the rest of your life and have no aspirations about establishing new relationships 2. If you are willing to sacrifice what bit of individuality you have to fit in and join the so called "Auburn family", and spend the rest of your life lying to yourself about who you are 3. You are the epitome of the "happy dancing Negro" or the "ultra-conservative traditional southern white" stereotypes 5. You are a talented southern football player who in that case is basically seen as a post civil war version of a slave 4. You go through the school day by day focused on nothing but school and studying and you have tunnel vision on your degree and future. If none of these apply to you prepare for the most miserable year or so (depending how soon you get yourself the hell out of there) of your life. Auburn University is the most socially backwards university ever created. College is where people go to express and learn new ideas from all over the country and world and take those ideas and apply them to future use as a way of growing. Auburn university has one idea and that is sameness. The Auburn motto should be it's easier to get along with people if you dumb yourself down to be as ignorant as possible like the people here. This school lacks social any type of social life. Not just night life and parties but in general. In the areas such as the concourse or student center students only interact with other students who basically look like clones of themselves, and this carries on for years and years. These people eventually marry and make more clones of themselves who go to Auburn and continue the Tradition. The "Auburn Family" should be called the Auburn race. Auburn University is the second coming of the Third Reich. Auburn Students probably have no clue what the Third Reich is. People at this school are so antisocial that I went and entire semester in a small English class of about 20 students without seeing any students interact by choice. The only students who did interact were two girls in the same sorority, who looked almost identical to each other though they swear they weren't related. Auburn University is the social scum of the Earth which is reasonable because it is located in the most ignorant part of a very intelligent country. Word of advice to anyone located in an educated progressive part of the country (D.C., Austin, Washington, Oregon, most places in California) avoid the deep south at all cost. And if you see a sign directing you towards Auburn University turnaround and drive as far away as possible. Parents do not allow your kids to apply or come to this school unless you want them to become drones or victims of post-traumatic stress.

Auburn has a community feeling to it. I feel like I can go anywhere and see a friend. I would change constraction on campus.

Auburn is the right size. It's not too big or too small. Our recent controversy is juicy campus. I will always remember joining Pi Beta Phi.

The best thing is football and how close are school really is.

auburn is clean and pretty and a really safe place to be in school. The size is just right and I spend all my time at the nursing building. Auburn is definitely a college campus and there is defintely a lot of school pride

Auburn is a traditional Southern school. Football season is one of the biggest highlights at school, as well as Greek life. Football season is by far my favorite; every Auburn alumni is there with their RV's and children and friends. Auburn becomes one big family in the stadium. The tradition is by far one of my other favorite things, we always have a story about a certain building or animal.

The best thing about Auburn is how pretty the campus is and Auburn's spirit.

Auburn, Al. I never thought I would live in something so small or so far away from big city life. I love it. The town is the school, the school is the town. It is very much the stereotypical southern college town. The best thing about Auburn is that it is like family here. The one thing I would change would be to fix the growing size of the college with the not so much growing size of the town. The town does its best to accomodate the number of students coming here, but I think it needs to improve. People say Auburn is great, they generally are excited when I tell them unless they cheer for a bitter rival. The number of students is growing every year but I still think that it is just perfect. The expierences here are one in a million. You can't have the same football school anywhere else, as well as the southern hospitality. The one expierence I will never forget... Football seasons as a student. There is nothing greater than watching that eagle fly over the stadium and then defeating someone in the SEC. Its the greatest feeling in the whole world.

The size of Auburn is just right. There are a large number of students but it still has a close knit feeling. There is definitely a lot of school pride at Auburn which is nice because it shows that everyone has pride for the university.
