Auburn is beautiful. It's a great Southern school. HUGE football school. Big greek system, where everyone is really involved. There is a lot of school pride and southern hospitality. Mostly everyone is very kind and generous, big on saying hello or "war eagle" to just anybody. In recent events (Lauren Burk tragedy) the campus has become much more protected. I see around 2-3 cops on campus when walking to a class. We also have escorts and buses to transport students at anytime during the day to where ever they need to go.It's a small town, easy to get around. Overall just a really respectable, fun, wonderful school.

I think the best thing about Auburn is that the atmosphere is very much like "home" and it feels extremely safe. I also like the fact that Auburn as a whole is a beautiful place to live, not just the campus. I think the size of Auburn is "just right." I like the amount of people on campus because I enjoy being a part of a big school. People generally react nicely to the fact that I go to to Auburn. To most people, Auburn is a very well respected and admired school.I spend most of my time on campus in the Library or in Foy Student Union.

Auburn is great! I love that Auburn is all about tradition and close ties to family. I truely believe Auburn is one big family( alums, students, faculty...) I love the traditions and teaching upcoming freshman about our traditions. Auburn is something you can never understand until you experience it for yourself. I believe in Auburn and Love it!

Auburn is the perfect size school. I spend most of my time at my house. The biggest recent news on campus was Lauren Burk's death. There is an extreme amount of pride. The parking is terrible at Auburn and something should be done. Also, a new Student Recreation Center should be built.

I'm not that big of a fan of Auburn, I dont like how there is no dining hall that has good food or that no one eats there, Foy sucks and its really hard to adjust to college and not 1. have a car and 2. not have anywhere good to eat on campus. I would change many things about Auburn. But I do like the friends I have made but its still hard. When I tell people I go to Auburn and i'm in the south they ask me who i know, if i am at home no one knows what it is.

Auburn is a big school but it feels like a small close knit community in its little college town. Auburn is a town full of school pride in almost every sport.
A few things that I might change is one parking of course and two making more interaction with the admin.

Auburn is a very close knit college town. I came from a small private high school and at times Auburn can seem really big but it can also seem really small. Generally, people in Auburn are very nice, polite, and respectful. I think that there are plent of extracurricular activities to get involved in on campus. There is also a variety of things to do at night. Football is amazing! The support for the team is also overwhelming. As far as academics, I think that Auburn has a very strong academic curriculum. I honestly do think that the Science department (Chemistry is particular) needs better administration that can teach the difficult material in a way that students can learn/understand it. That was my reasoning for changing my major from Pre-Health to Accounting.

The best part about Auburn is the friendliness of the people on campus. There is always someone that will help you out! They call it the Auburn Spirit The size of the school is just right because it is large enough to meet someone new, but small enough to easily see someone you know on campus. The best part about Auburn is football season obviously. Being a part of the SEC has its perks. The games and campus are always full. It really is a great place to tailgate and talk with alumni, family, and friends.

Auburn is definitely a college town. Spirit during football season is amazing. Watch out for crazy guys that come and "preach" to everyone on the concourse.

My favorite thing about Auburn are the football games and the tailgating that goes along with it. Also I think it is great that Auburn is a walking campus (like you don't have to drive to get from building to building). I think that Auburn is a great size, I could go for a little smaller but it still works for me. One thing I would change about Auburn is the parking. The parking lots are way too far from the dorms; makes me scared sometimes to walk to and from my car at night.
