Auburn University Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Connor

I wish I had known that people here mainly kept to themselves unless at a bar, or in a sorority, fraternity, or other activity group. There is no spirit of free association here.

Diane

Nothing, I am from this community and my father is a professor for the university, so I was very well informed.

Leannda

How much sororities and fraternaties mattered involving the social life.

Hanna

I wish I had known how to plan for 4 years ahead of time and how to apply to graduate schools early. There is not much emphasis placed upon furthering one's education past the undergraduate level.

Caitlan

I wish I'd known that the campus was SO big. They only show you a small part in the campus tours, even in Camp War Eagle, and there are buildings that are part of campus that you will NEVER see. It's really quite odd. I also wish I'd known how hard it would be to find a nice AND affordable place to live. My house now is a rare find, but mostly there are dumps close to campus and nicer places farther away.

Chad

There honestly isn't anything I can think of that i wish i knew before attending this university.

Rachael

I wish I would of known more about the campus organizations and which ones interested me. It would of also been helpful if someone told me that finding and making new friends is difficult, and it takes time.

Teronica

I wish I would have known how hard it is to get into classes required to graduate.

Michael

I wish I'd learned good study habits.

Alisha

It is a very challenging school. In order to suceed, one must not get behind the classroom.
