Auburn is the best school imaginable for academics, social, and a home away from home. Everyone who attends Auburn is such a family. It is a big school but it feels so small. I see people I know all the time because the campus is not very big. The best thing about Auburn is the spirit we have everyday; being the tigers and saying War Eagle and wearing orange and blue! It is in a perfect college town and everyone can find someone to relate to here or something to get invovled with. The greatest thing this year that let me know what a family Auburn is was when Lauren Burk died. Our gymnasium was FILLED with people for her memorial service and majority of us did not know her but we lost one of our tigers and we all felt the pain. It was beautiful and sad all at the same time.

The best thing about Auburn is the traditions in which it holds. Toilet papering Toomer's Corner, Tiger Walk, all of the chants and cheers, the Wareagle flight, closing down the downtown intersection for pep rallies, and all the Alumni that still love this place so much make it such a unique school and gives students something to get excited about.

I think that Auburn as a whole is one big family. Whenever you walk around campus you always see people saying hey to everyone they run into, even if they don't know them. The recent tradgedy that Auburn experienced really brought us all together to be strong and stand up for our campus. Even though I didn't know Lauren, I felt as though I had a bond with her being at Auburn.

The best thing about Auburn is how friendly everyone is. It is a big school with a small feel. I feel like I am an actual person to all of my professors, not just a number. Also, I have met so many awesome people!

The best thing about Auburn is the sense of family and how everyone feels so connected even though there are SO many students. If there was one thing I would change it would be how the non-greeks don't feel as included in the social scene. I think Auburn is just right. There are enough students to continue to meet new friends but it is also small enough that when you are out you can easily see and run into the people that you want to. People are normally pretty impressed when I tell them that I go to Auburn. I spend most of my time on campus in the library or the hill for sorority meetings. The biggest recent contraversy was definitely the safety of the campus after Lauren Burk's death. I think there is a TON of school pride! One experience I will always remember is definitely bid day when I got my bid to Pi Phi!

The best thing in Auburn is the spirit. The size is just right. I spend most of my time in Haley on campus. I love the fact that Auburn is a little college town. The biggest controversy has been safety with the Lauren Burk case. There is so much school pride. I'll always remember my sorority sisters.

The best thing about auburn is that it is a big school but you can find a close group of friends, there are alot of things to do. I would change that we do not have sorority houses. I spend most of my time on campus in my dorm, class or in the library. I will always remember football season and the student section.

The best things about Auburn are the people, campus, sports, and community. The best part of the fall is tailgating and watching our awesome football team. One of the reasons I chose to go to Auburn is because of the size. I wanted big classes, lots of people, and the divison one football team. People always respond well when I say that I go to Auburn, except when they are a UGA or Bama fan. I live off campus, so I am only on campus for classes. But when I am on campus I spend my time in Lowder, the library, or Foy. Auburn is the definition of a college town. The whole town supports the university, and I like to think that we do the same. The biggest recent controversy on campus was Lauren Burk's death. Many students were very upset, scared and confused. The administration has been open to change since then and has made good changes. There is a ton of pride in Auburn. The whole university turns orange and blue on football saturdays and supports all the activities of the sudents, athletics, and organizations. One thing unusual about Auburn is that the library turns into social hour on week nights between the hours of 7-10. So if you need to study, don't go there during those times. I have had so many amazing experiences that I can't pick just one.

Auburn is just right for me. My major is Interior Design and they have one of the best programs in the country. When looking at colleges, this is the only place I looked at that I really loved. It is definiately a college town, and there is so much school pride.
