Students Say
As one of the South's largest universities, Alabama's Auburn University provides its 25,000 more than 150 majors across 12 schools and colleges, what undergraduates declare to be an "excellent diversity in courses/majors." The R1 research university also offers numerous opportunities for student research, as well as "many internship/co-op opportunities advertised and available." The school is also a Carnegie-recognized Community Engaged Institution, and its focus on outreach and engagement has led to numerous partnerships with schools, businesses, and communities, including the AuburnServes Network and Campus Kitchens Project. The school's longstanding reputation is rooted in an institutional support system that "provides you plenty of resources and opportunities to get a top-notch education," and students find that "nurturing education, extracurricular involvement opportunities, and professional skill development."
Auburn's history, traditions, and "challenging, captivating, unique and yet still timeless" environment extends to the classroom, where "approachable" professors "bring material to life." The plethora of learning pathways available through the sheer number of courses (which include some "very challenging engineering programs") may be daunting, "but the work pays off." Professors are proud instructors (and often researchers) who students say "make it clear that they are here to teach [us]" and "go out of their way to help you learn if you ask them." For those classes requiring additional support, "graduate student assistants are helpful in assisting professors in understanding how to make material more exciting to learn." Whatever the course of study, students feel that those in charge are "always very intelligent on the subjects at hand," and one simply says "I have received a wonderful education."

Students Say
The University Career Center offers numerous resources to help students explore career paths, land internships, and secure placements. These services include mock interviews, workshops, job fairs, and career assessments, and the center even has a Campus Career Closet to loan professional attire to students. The school’s “size, location, and overall culture are all strengths,” and it prides itself on flipped classrooms, in which learning takes place outside of the classroom and student activities take place within. That means “lecture videos are watched as homework, and homework is done in class with support of teacher and peers.” The “access to external opportunities” such as study abroad, internships, co-ops, and extracurricular activities provide a foundational experience for students to flesh out their résumé, so “if you want good academics and good chances, Auburn is a great school.”

From The School
20,000 Auburn students are involved in nearly 600 student organizations on campus. You can find student groups with a huge range of interests such as advanced biofuels, the African Students Association, Greek societies, Women in Science and the Auburn Marching Band — organizations focused on athletics, the arts, culture, outdoor adventure, faith, service, professional development, networking and so much more. Through Student Involvement, the university supports students so they can create, organize, lead, finance and advertise the organizations they care about as well as track their own involvement and growth.
Students can participate in more than 40 clubs and intramural sports, plus enjoy the amenities offered at the Recreation and Wellness Center, named one of the "Coolest College Recreation Centers in America," by Men's Health magazine. The center has two 50-foot climbing towers, a bouldering wall, a 1/3-mile corkscrew track and a leisure pool.
The university offers 24 residence halls in seven areas, housing 4,800 on-campus residents in suite-style living arrangements or double occupancy rooms. Dining preferences include national restaurants, like Chick-fil-A and Starbucks, as well as convenient food trucks which offer local favorites. Choices range from vegan to meat and potatoes and gluten free, meeting a variety of dietary needs and tastes.

Students Say
Two things are typical of the average Auburn student: they're the sort "who would say 'hello' walking along the concourse to class," and they're also filled with "so much school spirit" that some might consider them to be "highly obsessed with football." Many students hail from Alabama and are described as both "friendly" and loyal: "Alabama students love Alabama football; Auburn students love Auburn." This devotion lays a strong foundation in which even the meekest voice "can cause tangible change" knowing that "the Auburn Family has your back." The certainty of support makes Auburn a "welcoming place" where any student "would lend a hand in a time of need."

Overview
From The School
Location
We have the resources of a large research university set on a collegial, small, friendly, open campus in the rolling hills of east-central Alabama, with a local area population of approximately 65,000. Conveniently located along Interstate 85, Auburn is less than 60 miles northeast of Alabama's capital city of Montgomery and about 30 miles west of Columbus, Georgia and is a 1.5-hour drive from the Atlanta airport — the busiest in the world. Auburn is within a reasonable driving distance from many major cities, so students can take easy road trips to Nashville or check out the beaches in Gulf Shores or the Florida Panhandle.
Southern Living named Auburn one of the South's Best College Towns with its convenient restaurants and shops. Toomer's Corner marks the spot where the university and city intersect, and offers a gathering spot for one of the university's greatest traditions—rolling our famous oak trees after a big win. An easy walk from campus, the city hosts events throughout the year, featuring outdoor concerts, art, food and street parties, especially on home football weekends.
Across from the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art, the Jay and Susie Gogue Performing Arts Center is a cultural destination offering world-class performances. The Gogue Center and museum create a vibrant arts district for the campus, community and region.
Campus Facilities & Equipment
Auburn is a student-centric campus, so facilities and services are structured to support and encourage students. Our campus growth enhances the academic experience by offering students unparalleled opportunities. A few recent additions include:
The School of Nursing building is the first facility designed for nursing education and features skills labs and an advanced simulation suite.
The Delta Air Lines Aviation Education Building houses classrooms, a flight simulator lab and debriefing rooms. Through a partnership with Delta Air Lines, Auburn is helping to solve a nationwide pilot shortage, expand air service for communities and improve how luggage is tracked through RFID technology.
The Brown-Kopel Engineering Student Achievement Center supports Auburn's vision to provide the nation's best student-centered engineering education experience. It houses classrooms, student study spaces, a wind-tunnel lab, and space for advising, tutoring, studying, professional development and industry relations.
The new Horton-Hardgrave Hall meets the growing needs of the Harbert College of Business and houses flat-flexible and case study classrooms, a flexible studio lecture hall, an innovation lab, study pods and team areas.
Off-Campus Opportunities
Just a few miles from campus, students can enjoy several nature getaways, including Chewacla State Park, where hiking to waterfalls, mountain biking and camping are just a few activities to enjoy. From festivals and outdoor concerts to top-ranked golf on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at Grand National, to unique dining experiences, Auburn has much to offer in education, recreation, nature, history, culture and more.

Students Say
Student input is "very respected" at Auburn, so the "Old South small town feeling" of campus life has an easy flow. The facilities themselves, like the recreation center, are "amazing" and there's a "good food atmosphere in the community." There's also a nearby state park that provides a fun respite from university life (as do the nearby cities of Birmingham and Atlanta), and the city of Auburn "has a safe downtown area where students can go to bars" on weekends as well. Extracurricular activities abound with more than 300 student organizations, and Greek life is popular as well, though students say that "it's definitely possible to fit in without being a part of Greek life." Moreover, attendees have direct input in the abundant campus offerings, as the Student Government Association "is very strong at Auburn" and "student involvement is high." And so far as participation goes, everybody loves Aubie the Tiger---"Football Saturdays at Auburn are second to none"-which means that the university's legendary athletics "drive a ton of campus life and help unite the student body."
