Auburn University Top Questions

Preppy, well educated, maily white upper class kids from all over the country. Friendly and helpful. Eager to learn and strive for greatness!

I have had some experiences with racism. The experiences that have stood out to me more were woith frat/ and non-frat people.

Students are very conservative here

I love all the people at Auburn.

the student body just the right size and most people's characteristic coinside with others. It is nice not dressing up for class and the campus seems to be pretty casual

Auburn is diverse, but there is definitely a majority of white people.

I feel like anyone could fit in at Auburn. I feel like there are so many different kinds of people, and so many ways for you to get involved with the kind of people you enjoy being around.

The student body is great here. I feel it is very diverse but we all stick together like family. Like this past spring semester when the tragic death of a freshmen girl happened here, the bond of the students and the support of auburn grew. Even though it was something so awful, we were able to be the Auburn Family.

The student body is slightly segregated but I feel that is typical in most southern universities. However I have never been aware of any racial problems on the campus. I feel that it is a pretty conservative campus. Most students are very casual when they go to class.

i really like how casual auburn is. at some schools people dress up everyday for class but here its mostly jeans or shorts and tshirt.

In regard to Auburn's student body, I feel like there are a lot of different so called "cliques" and that those cliques tend to hang out with each other and not interact. For example, greeks hang out with greeks, athletes with athletes, band members with band members, church goers with church goers, and so on. I think it is a shame that we do not interact with different groups to meet new people.

I think Auburn is diverse enough to where no one would feel out of place. There are definitely bigger and more accepting groups than others, but I think there is a place for everyone here. Most students dress pretty casually to go to class, inless they have a presentation or something of the sort. Most Auburn students are from Alabama and the Atlanta area from what I can tell.

Most students wear tshirts, jeans, or shorts to class. You rarely will find people who get all dressed up for class but you always have those certain individuals that care more about what they look like than why they are here. However, I do think Auburn has a very laid-back campus and most of the students are very friendly and well-mannered. Most of our student body comes from either Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, Tennessee, or Alabama. I know most of my friends are from one of those states. As far as financial backgrounds, there are different types of students from all different backgrounds. There are definitely those rich and more prominent individuals that have never worked a day in their life, but then there are also students who work two jobs just to pay their way through college and attend classes at the same time. Auburn is so diverse. However, it still has a few more dominant types of backgrounds.

Honestly, I feel that Auburn has a very strong religious group of students which I enjoy being religious myself. To be honest I feel that there is some racial tension sometimes, but this is something we all need to move on and get over because race NEVER defines anyone. I feel like most people wear t-shirts, running shorts, and flip flops to class. I feel that if you are considered EMO or a punk rock kind of kid, you might feel out of place. Like I have already said, I feel that many students have parents with very successful, financial backgrounds, which drives many of these students to be successful like their parents.

I love the student body. I love wearing pajamas to class and i hate it when people get really dressed up. People intereact well.

I do feel like a lot of Auburn students are very similar. I mainly hang out with students similar to me through my sorority, but I do meet people from other backgrounds in class and love talking to them! Most students are from Alabama or Georgia..otherwise mostly southern states. I think most students are conservative... I do think msot are politically aware. Some students talk about how much they earn..depending on who you talk to.

Students usually wear jeans and tshirts to class. I think most Auburn students come from Alabama or the South. I am politically aware and active, but I cannot speak for the entire student body.

Auburns student body is very diverese.

There are a few very outspoken groups on campus, but they can be ignored if chosen. I don't think anyone would feel out of place at Auburn unless that want to attend a really huge school. Most students wear comfortable clothes to class- shorts or jeans and a t-shirt, for example. Many different types of students interact because they meet in class. Most Auburn students are from Alabama, but there are so many from across the US and around the world! Most are well-off financially.

I don't think any student would feel out of place at Auburn. There are many things to get involved in. Most Auburn students are generally from Alabama and the south but never make others that aren't feel unwelcome. I feel like most people are from a very stable financial background. I believe most students lean towards the conservative of politics but it is not discussed very often. Yes, students' futures are usually a big topic of conversation.

i was suprised by how separated the school is racially. I was expecting it to be much more diverse. Even still, everyone has respect for each other. We never have racial problems but we just don't mingle as much i would like. The student body is prodominately right wing but not everyone is and you can definitely find groups and atmospheres other than that if you want. Everyone is very laid back. I think that is one reason why i love Auburn so much. Girls don't have to dress up to go to class. Most people where t-shirts and jeans or shorts everyday. Students do not talk about money. I don't feel like there is any sort of class tension. No one cares if you drive a range rover or a ford escort. We get along and have friends that have money and don't.

There have never been any issues of race or religion that I know of or have been involved in. Mostly students wear shorts or jeans and a tshirt to class. I live off campus and do not eat in the dining hall. Most student are from Alabama. If students are from out of state they are usually from a wealthy family because tuition is more expensive out of state.

I think Auburn has a very diverse student body. Anybody can come here and find an instant group of friends that share the same interests as them.

Most students wear t-shirts and comfortable clothes to class. Most auburn students are from Alabama or Georgia. Many of the students are pretty well off financially.

Study body is good, diverse, everything that's good. Rich, poor, moderate, there's all types and I think all types get along pretty well. An exception to that is blacks/whites...if you've read juicy campus its very obvious there's a problem, but otherwise I wouldn't have noticed a problem because of how little I see people of these races interact.

some are students are kind of closed-minded.

i believe that at any campus there is going to be clashes between races and people with different religions and background. i have never experienced a violent act though between students because of an issue like this. most students wear tshirts and jeans/ shorts to class, which i love. there is no need to dress up for class. most of the auburn students i know are from the south, but i feel and have experienced that more "northern" people are coming down and i love it. its always good to have a good mix of people and it continues to show that auburn is a diverse place and were not all southern rednecks like we have been stereotyped.

our student body is amazing, we all respect each other and love each other!

The majority of Auburn's student body is from the south and participate in greek life. Like many others, I tend to stick with the people of my same race with many of the same religious and political ideas. This is not always on purpose, but it often works out that way with the groups of friends i make.

auburn is extremely segregated, which is something i dont really like... someone who probably wouldnt like auburn was a homosexual male.. just because a lot of the guys here are very traditional and dont support that.. all kinds of financial backgrounds are prevalent.. most people in greek orgs are pretty well off

Mostly GA, AL, FL

I think there is something for everyone at Auburn.

Student body is great too! Everyone is so nice and helpful!

Auburn's student body is very diverse but at the same time not. Auburn has many different races, but they tend to socialize with their own kind of race. Another example is Auburn's sororities and fraternities. All sorority and fraternity members dress alike and others who are not affiliated with greek life think that this is ridiculous. A student who is not active, outgoing or in a sorority or fraternity would feel out of place because all these things help you meet people especially if you are an incoming freshman. At Auburn majority of the students are from Alabama. The financial backgrounds of majority of Auburn student's is upperclass. At Auburn political views are very right sided.

Most of the students are Christian. I know very few Jewish people and they are my roommate and a few of her friends. There are alot of black people here too, more than back home. Most of the students are from Alabama and Georgia. At the beginning of the year I felt like everyone knew each other.

there are alot of people from many different places i love it

Student Body is cool... People are separated by color though and it makes me mad

large variety! very diverse!

Everything about the student body is positive. Many students at Auburn who are not from the south do tend to feel out of place because of the new environment and the language barrier. There is no official dress code, but most students enjoy dressing casual and being comfortable. Most of the students here are from Alabama, but a good bit of them are from the surrounding states. The people here do tend to be middle class to upper class. With that, they do want to become something one day and do want to earn a lot.

I think most students are predominantly Republican, but there are more Liberals and Democrats here than one might think. There are clubs and interest groups that meet the interests of virtually every student here.

The student Body here at Auburn is great. Everyday when people walk on the concourse there is a different club or association one can sign up for. People are very friendly and outgoing.

Auburn definatly misses out on student diversity. Every girl looks and dresses the same and every guy does also. I am guilty of this. I wear the same nike shorts that every girl wears but i dont like it. Where are the purple mohawks and dreds? We need individualism. i was a part of dAUnce my freshman year and we had a coeographer from NYC come down to work with our group. He made the same comment. He said that we all looked just alike. I dont think students are even aware of this until it is brought to their attention.

The student body seems to definitely have there small clique-like groups. I think it is only a natural thing that people separate like that according to like interests etc. I really don't see too many incidents where different groups hate each other. I feel like there are plenty of groups of people that most anyone could find a place to fit in at Auburn as long as they are willing to go and put themselves out there. I think in the past the majority of people that came to Auburn were from Alabama, but now I think there is a whole mix of places people are from.

Everyone is kind of the same in general but have their own individuality at the same time. I think anyone not from the south would feel at least a little out of place depending on their background and feelings..

I havent witnessed any racial or religious controversies. I always wear nike shorts and tshirts to class but thats because I like to be comfortable. Most other girls wear the same thing.

Like I said before, Auburn is a very diverse campus and has a place for EVERYONE to fit in. I feel like everyone is respectful of one another because there is every type of person with every type of background on campus. I know that probably could be said about most campuses, but at Auburn no one is discriminated against. We have an organization or greek organization for every race, lifestyle, major, political preference, activity, etc. that you could ever think of! Of course there are many students from Alabama, but we have a student from every state in the nation and many from other countries! I would say the most prevelant states people are from besides Alabama are Georgia, Tennessee, Texas, and Florida. We have a ton of Texas people here! They love Auburn! People are very laid back here, which is one of my favorite things... No one gets dressed up to go to class or anything like that. Most people wear t-shirt and sweatpants kind of thing and many girls don't wear makeup to class. I personally don't wear makeup to class just because I don't think it's necessary and I can't get out of bed on time to do it! Another aspect of Auburn that I love is the fact that most students are not "stuck up" or too concerned with money. Of course there are the handful of people like that, but generally most students are more concerned with how to save money. Our leaders on campus, such as SGA, are very easy to work with and are very helpful with addressing problems. They are just another Auburn student and work closely with the student body. We have lunches set up with our dean of students every month that any student can attend to discuss the problems on campus that is very helpful. We are also known for our amazing benefits and accessibilities for students with disabilities. Auburn will find a way to help these students and the students on campus are very accepting of the people with disabilities. I am a member of a greek sorority on campus and I was very unsure of whether or not I wanted to rush as a freshman because I didn't want to "pay for my friends" or be associated with a group of spastic girls! Well I decided to after alot of convincing and I don't think I could have ever made a better decision! Auburn's greeks (mostly the sororities) are very different than they are on other campuses. On Auburn's campus you DO NOT have to be greek to "fit in" or be a part of something special. Unlike other campuses, our greek system only compromises about 15{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of campus, if even that much... Our sororities are VERY diverse when it comes to types of girls in them. Yes, the 16 panhellenic sororities on campus comprise mostly of caucasian girls, but there are also many girls with asian, hispanic, etc. backgrounds. We have a whole seperate greek system for the african americans, as it is on any other campus, but both systems support each other which makes it fun for everyone. Greeks are not really frowned upon by the non-greeks on Auburn's campus because everyone associates together. I have ALOT of friends who aren't greek and they love it because that's how they find out what's going on or they have connections for different kinds of activities. I just want to stress the fact that most people on Auburn's campus aren't greek and whether you are or aren't you will fit in and everyone associates with one another.

I have found that most students wear jeans and a t-shirt to class. Everyone dresses very casual, so I feel right at home.

The student's at Auburn are mostly conservative christians from the south...not to say that they are the only people who exist on campus but they seem to be the majority. Everyone dresses pretty casually to class, usually shorts and a t-shirt. It seems that people arent trying to impress others while in class...which makes for a more relaxed atmosphere which I really like.

I do not believe that any student would feel out of place at Auburn. It has so many opportunities for different people to get involved or to become active. There are too many opportunities not to! Getting involved also goes hand-in-hand with academics at Auburn-- you get out of it what you put into it.

I loved that Auburn was very diverse. I felt that that was one of the most important aspects of my education--interacting with so many different types of people. My freshman year I had one suitemate that basically lived on a "plantation" and owned a town, another was from a small farm. There is an excellent mix of in state and out of state students. I can't imagine any student that could not find a group or set of friends. I think Auburn would fall on the conservative side. But that would not be surprising considering it is located in Alabama.
