Auburn University Top Questions

Auburn has a small town feel with all the benefits of a large SEC school. Auburn has many unique traditions that bond our students and alumni. I get chills at every home football game when the Eagle flies around Jordan-Hare Stadium and rolling Toomer's Corner is an amazing post game tradition. I went on several college tours around the SEC but did not come across a campus as unique or that has the same feel as Auburn. Auburn is a truly unique place that can not be described. I truly had to visit the campus to get the feel of the school pride and the true southern hospitality.

The best thing about Auburn is the tradition. We are a school that believes in tradition and try to keep that part of our everyday lives. We roll Toomer's corner for a football win, a swim meet win or even a win for the tennis team. We take pride in the traditions we have kept alive at our university. Auburn as a town in only here because of the university. You will see many older folks here but mainly the only people in Auburn are people that either work or attend the university. One problem with our school is the never-ending construction. I have been a student at Auburn University for four years now and not once was there no construction. The construction is a nuisance but the university is only trying to improve for the students. The construction of a new student center and dormitories might be annoying now, but in years to come will only benefit other students and make our college better than ever.

The best thing about Auburn is that no matter where you wind up, whether it be a northern or western state, or even another country, you will most likely find someone who can express the spirit of Auburn with the ever common "War Eagle". No matter how far away from "home" you are, having that in common with a complete stranger brings you back to the fun times, football games, tailgating, and (if there's time) study parties. The size of the student body and staff is just right for me. Some people may prefer a smaller school but personally I enjoy seeing new faces and meeting new people in each class. Usually the only time controversy is ever a problem is when a fraternity might take initiating the new guys a little too far with hazing or putting them in embarrassing situations. For the most part, it is all in good fun. The most frequent complaints among Auburn students is probably parking. On a nice day, there isn't anything better than getting a little exercise and enjoying the beautiful campus, but that is not always the case with the weather. However, Auburn has the transit system, which provides a bus that will pick you up at your apartment or dorm and take you right to the center of campus. Curbside service, what more could we ask for!

auburn is just right. i would change the parking scene on campus and allow more cars to be able to park. the best thing about auburn is the friendly atmosphere, especially gameday weekends.

The best thing about Auburn is the Auburn "family" even though that sounds so cheesy. If i could change one thing, I would change sorority housing out of dorms and into houses. I think Auburn is the perfect size, big enough to get away from people you do not want to see and the perfect size in that I know people everywhere I go. Everybody who I tell I go to Auburn either reacts with "I love Auburn! WAR EAGLE!" On campus, I spend most of my time in Haley center and also in the library, also in my friends on campus dorms and my sorority dorm. Auburn is the perfect description of a college town, it has everything a college student could want, besides a decent mall. A good mall in in Montgomery though which is only about a half hour drive down 85. Auburn is HUGE on school pride, especially during football season. Girls dress up in their orange and blue dresses while all the boys dress up for the games and set up tailgates the night before gameday. An unusual thing about Auburn is that we have the eagle that flies around the stadium before every home game. Also, we roll toomers corner after every big win, home or away. One experience I will always remember is rushing and bid day, which were in the middle of August in 100+ degree weather and how happy everybody was when it was finally over and all the girls had found their new homes. Another experience I will always remember is when I visited Athens for the Auburn/UGA game, I will never forget how rude the UGA fans were and I was just thinking the entire time, Auburn fans would never treat an opposing team like that in Auburn, except maybe an Alabama fan. (just kidding). The most frequent student complaint is the parking situation on campus. There is not enough of it, and the few parking places that we have are far away from the dorms.

I love Auburn. The campus is beautiful and the size is perfect. The only thing i would change is the large amount of very annoying traffic!! My favorite building Auburn has is the library-it's huge! The library is full of computers, coffee shops, separate study rooms and floor, and many librarians to help with all sorts of problems. Auburn is a college town, everything in the town is geared toward students. The school pride is amazing! Every one of us students LOVE our Auburn tigers!

Auburn. Where to begin. When I first moved to Auburn I had just graduated high school with 32 other people, so moving to Auburn was definitely a culture shock. Immediately I fell in love with campus and the perfect little town. It felt like home. There were cute stores downtown and larger shopping in a town close by, just like home. Everyone was very nice and wanted to know about you. The first memory I have is when I was at Camp War Eagle, the freshman orientation sessions, and as we were sitting on Samford lawn a streaker ran across in front of all of us. Probably not the best memory, but I'll definitely never forget it. The football games are probably the most fun I had had in my life. Every student stuffed into the student section, with shakers and orange and blue on will immediately give you chills. But when our eagle flies over you know that this is truly a place that will stay with you forever.
