Auburn University Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Alexandra

Family. Auburn University embodies every single atribute I was looking for in a college and it all begins with what we like to call the Auburn Family. Anyone who lives in, went to, or just simply loves the school is a proud participant in the Auburn Family. The family means being able to walk down the street wearing anything AU and getting a hardy "war eagle" or simply a smile from every family member you encounter. Having this family makes me able to feel at home when I am somewhere so far away from where I grew up.

Jaelyn

The best thing about AU is how welcoming the people and campus are. Teachers are always willing to help students. Students are considerate of other students and anyone on the campus. The more acclimated students will help new students find their way to a certain building. Students and faculty of AU are actually one big family. Even though we might not know each other yet, we would be more than happy to help each in any way possible.

Reuben

The best thing about Auburn University is how great the people are. All of the professors, advisors, various employees, students, and residents of the city are so welcoming and supportive of the university. One could ask almost any person they see for assistance and that person would do their best to help out. The atmosphere is that of more that just a college or community, it is that of a family. That’s why I believe in Auburn and love it.

Kristin

It feels like a community. It's really just a small college town, and people take pride in Auburn University.

Devon

The best thing about Auburn was the faculty staff available to the students. These men and women were often available before and after class to help all students--from the ones who never came to class to those who studied hard every night. While I was at school, I had to leave a few weeks prior to finals making it almost impossible for me to catch up with testing material. Thanks to my professor and our meetings, I was able to take the final and end the term with an impressive grade.

Sam

Auburn University is uniquely interwoven into the city of Auburn itself. The culture and traditions of the city of Auburn are often directly related to the University itself. Toomer's Lemonade is wonderful. Rolling Toomer's Corner is always a blast. The Gameday atmosphere is electric and exciting. The school spirit at Auburn is unlike that of the typical University--especially when it comes to sports. The campus itself is safe and peaceful otherwise: easily a cool place to live in.

The best thing about Auburn University is the school spirit. Our college experience is mostly molded around our football season.

Our university is family oriented and based on many traditions; a couple characteristics that have very strong appeal to me.

Alyssa

One of the greatest aspects of my school is that the professors really want the students to learn. They don't just stand up in front of the class and lecture, each professor offers to help students with anything they need. For example, my English professor in the fall did everything he could possibly do to help my classmates and I succeed. He offered extended office hours before essays were do so that he could review them and give advice on what could be made better.

The best thing about Auburn is that it offers everything. It is easy to make new friends both in class and through extracurricular activities, such as clubs and organizations. There are plenty of activities offered, but not so many that it is easy to become distracted from school work. Many places to eat and shop off campus are within walking distance. The professors are engaging and care about your progress, and the work load is not unbearable, so there is time to relax. Basically, the overall experience here is the best thing about Auburn University.

I love the atmosphere and the rich tradition on Auburn's campus. It is hard to travel far without seeing a friendly or familiar face. There is not pressure to drink as much here. I think the focus of the campus is on the things that matter like friendships and school versus social fraternities and football. We love our Auburn tigers, but we know that there are greater things to life than these four glorious years. Auburn creates a comfortable atmosphere where students can develop their confidence and intellect through various means, and appreciate the global community as well!
