Auburn University Top Questions

The best thing about Auburn is the great campus and the friendly people. I would change the parking here at Auburn and making the food plan mandatory for everyone to have. Our school as a whole is just right. We have the perfect amount of people, but there is always room for more people which is going to happen because Auburn is getting even more people. Auburn is a wonderful school and very popular so when telling others where I attend college I get a very positive reply. I do live in the dorm, so I spend a lot of time here and in our sorority chapter room. I also tend to live in the library from time to time. Auburn also has a great administration but I think there is room for improvement. Lastly, the school pride is amazing! The students here love Auburn and what it has to offer us, and the alumni are so wonderful and are such an asset for the college.

In my opinion, Auburn is great because it has a close knit college town feel. I love the people here - fellow students, professors, and those who live in the Auburn-Opelika area. Most of the people here have a sense of class and pride in the school and community; for example, each year during football season, the school newspaper receives numerous letters from other SEC schools complimenting us on the good manners of our fans, coaches, and athletic team members. Recently, Auburn received a lot of press regarding Lauren Burke's murder, but that was a very out of the ordinary thing here, and I want people to know Auburn for all of the good qualities it has - not just a school that is associated with a high profile murder case. The academics here are outstanding - I am going proud to tell people about Auburn and my major here; everyone knows that Auburn has strong academics (even more so than the University of Alabama). I can honestly say that I love Auburn with all of my heart!

I love Auburn! It is a great school with a lot of diversity for it being in the deep south. Even though there are a lot of students who attend, the campus seems small and welcoming. Auburn is a small college town and the community outside of the college is very supportive of the school.

"I believe in Auburn and Love it." I think AUBURN is a shcool that honors tradition. I love the campus and feel like i am a part of the community. It's the perfect size and i love the friendly people. There is one thing that i would change. My major is Radio, TV, and film and i have to fight for my classes. I have spent the night in the Haley center in order to get on a waiting list for classes that i have to have and fight with my fellow classmates about who was first in line. I think this is rediculous. The program desperately needs more funding. It is loosing students to other programs because it can not provide the classes they need. I don't understand how we can lay the bricks in our new buildings the most expensive way to lay bricks and we can't afford teachers to educate the students inside. This is a serious problem and i think the faculty is well aware. I am just comfused about why they won't do anything about it.

The best thing about Auburn is that it is a big school that feels small enough to be able to call home. I think Auburn is just the right size of school. It is big enough that you don't have to see the same people every day, but at the same time is small enough to be familiar with. I spend most of my time on campus in Spidle Hall. In fact, that is the one thing I would change about Auburn. The biggest controversy on campus was the shooting of Lauren Burke. This is the one problem I have with administration. We were not warned when this happened. Instead, I saw it on Fox News first. After an incident like this proves though that Auburn students are a family and have a ton of pride in the school.

I love it here. The school is a little big but i like it that way. I love that it is a college town. I come from Nashvlle, TN, so i didn't know that many people coming here, but that has helped me to meet so many new people. i consider most of my close friends my friends here at auburn.

I love the comfort that Auburn brings. Going away from my family coming up here freshman year was hard, but being here made it easier because it was so welcoming. I spend most of my time either in the dorms or at the library. The recent controversy or scare on campus was the death of Lauren Burk but for the most part I think the university handled it well, although AU alert wasnt sent out about it until the next day which was really scary.

I am obsessed with Auburn and love it so much. There is a feeling many get here that cannot be felt anywhere else... it's a feeling of home. I know it sounds so cliche to talk about the "Auburn family", but I truly feel everyone here is a family. Anytime I have been on a trip, even to a different country, there was oddly enough always someone wearing an Auburn hat or shirt and I couldn't help but give a big War Eagle! I get one back and usually a hug because even though they might be a stranger you can always relate to them and feel like they are part of your family! I will admit though that our campus or mostly our buildings aren't up to par like other universities, but they are constantly improving our campus! The biggest problem on campus right now, as it always has been, is parking!! Especially now that they took out half of our student parking to build the brand new dorms. I live off campus so it is a hassle to find a parking place, but our campus transit system is amazing! At other schools the transit system is not very good or just isn't "cool" to ride, but our tiger transit system really is helpful. They have routes all around the city of Auburn stopping at most apartment complexes and they drop you off right in the center of campus. They also have GPS systems on the busses so you can get on their website and see exactly how far away the bus is! I, as well as most Auburn students, take advantage of this great system. Security on campus is pretty good, especially after Lauren Burk's death. There are police always around and we have a very useful security shuttle. It runs all night after the tiger transits stop running and will pick you up anywhere on campus and take you anywhere else on campus. This is a very helpful and safe way of getting around especially for the people in the dorms. It is also a very helpful "drunk bus" as people call it! Downtown Auburn is on the very edge of campus so people in the dorms get them to drop them off and pick them up at the edge of campus because the bars are right across the street! Very helpful in eliminating alot of DUI's! Auburn is a very diverse campus and that's what I love about it! There is a group of people for ANYONE on campus and with our "southern hospitality", it makes it very easy to make friends! Overall... AUBURN IS AMAZING AND WOULD RECCOMEND ANYONE TO COME HERE!!!!!!

One thing I would change about Auburn is for students to have access to the End of the Year accessments we give on our teachers. That way when we sign up for classes, we would have a better understanding of how certain teachers are in the classroom.

I think Auburn has the perfect college atmosphere...it has great academics as well as a great social scene. For me, Auburn is the perfect size- not too big or too small. Many schools that I looked at were too large and overwhelming, but at Auburn I felt right at home (even though I am 10 hours from my hometown). It has a small town feel but is huge when it comes to football! Almost every Auburn student is a huge football fan and it shows. Game days are unforgettable and amazing...every single week. Parking is the only "problem" I might say I have with Auburn and its not the end of the world. It may take 10 minutes to find a spot but you most liekly will find one and get to class on time. Auburn has lots of tradition liek Tiger walk and rolling toomers corner after winning a game.
