Overview of Auburn University

Auburn is a big school, but feels like a small school. The campus is beautiful with everything in walking distance. There are many things to get involved with on campus. Greek life is part of Auburn, but not huge. There are also many ways to get involved in SGA. Tiger Tuesdays, which I joined my freshman year, is a freshman only branch of SGA. You meet tons of new people and get your foot in the door of becoming a leader on campus. There are also intramural teams for any sport you can think of. There are so many ways to discover Auburn and become involved. Auburn also offers SEC football!! Game days are the best days ever! The campus transforms to a tailgaters paradise and everyone is rocking their orange and blue. The student section at Jordan-Hare Stadium is the best place to be...ever! Everyone is best friends and yells the fight song and cheers together. Nothing beats game day in Auburn..NOTHING! And rolling Toomers Corners after a win in one of the best experiences in the world. You have to see it to believe it!

They aren't lying when they talk about Auburn University being a family. At Auburn, everybody is All In, and everybody is really friendly. I came from out of state without knowing many people, but it was incredibly easy to meet new people and feel welcomed. If you like football, you will absolutely love it at Auburn! If you don't like football, there are a ton of other things to get involved in. If I could choose a college over again, I would choose Auburn again and again.

Honestly, I didn't even want to go to Auburn. It was my parent's choice and not mine. But after spending the first few nights on campus, I don't think I could have been happier anywhere else. AU is probably one of the prettiest college campus in the country and is filled with the nicest and most helpful people you can find. There are also fun parties all the time, but no one makes you feel obligated to go. It was easy to make friends, and there is always something on campus to do! The only downfall is the shopping scene. We have a mall about 2 miles from campus but the better ones are in Birmingham, Columbus, and Atlanta.

Love the town

Again, it depends on the kind of person you are. As someone who has lived in Auburn for my entire life, I can say with confidence that most people who go to Auburn are interested in the same things - football, partying, and drinking. Of course, not everyone who goes here is like that, but you're not going to find a lot of people who are different from that immediately.
