Students Say

Located in the heart of Alabama, Auburn University is called home by more than 20,000 undergraduates, making it one of the state’s largest universities. Established before the Civil War, the school’s environment is “challenging, captivating, unique and yet still timeless,” and students say the university “provides you plenty of resources and opportunities to get a top-notch education.” The school channels its efforts into developing young professionals through a “nurturing education, extracurricular involvement opportunities, and professional skill development.” Classes may not be easy, “but the work pays off.” Professors here are “approachable,” “go out of their way to help you learn if you ask them,” and “bring material to life.” “My professors at Auburn University make it clear that they are there to teach me,” says a student. While a few professors are difficult to follow or are more focused on research than on teaching, “graduate student assistants are helpful in assisting professors in understanding how to make material more exciting to learn.” Along with “excellent diversity in courses/majors,” students say that Auburn provides solid academic support and a faculty that is “always very intelligent on the subjects at hand.” The science and the “very challenging engineering programs” benefit from updated facilities and classrooms (though some say that liberal arts programs “get less attention”) with the added bonus of “many internship/co-op opportunities advertised and available.” “I believe I have received a wonderful education from Auburn University,” says a contented student.

If you want heart-thumping school spirit and pride along with the warm welcome of home, you can't beat Auburn. We rank #1 on The Princeton Review's list of "Students Pack the Stadiums." ESPN considered Auburn's eagle flight as the best pregame tradition in the SEC. USA Today's Readers' Choice Travel Award Contest named rolling the Auburn Oaks at Toomer's Corner as the nation's "best sports tradition."

Nearly 20,000 Auburn students are involved in 500+ 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 the Office of 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 club 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 32 residence halls in five neighborhoods, 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

Many here are “white,” “Republican,” and “tend to be conservative.” The typical student is “friendly,” an Alabama native, and “someone who would say ‘hello’ walking along the concourse to class” or “would lend a hand in a time of need.” “There is so much school spirit” here (in no small part due to the football team) and most everyone “is highly obsessed with football,” which “has almost a religious following of fans.” “Alabama students love Alabama football, Auburn students love Auburn,” says one student of the communal loyalty in which one can rest assured that “the Auburn Family has your back.”

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. Conveniently located 1.5 hours from the largest airport in the U.S. in Atlanta, Georgia, 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, and 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 Golf Trail at Grand National, to unique dining experiences, Auburn has much to offer in education, recreation, nature, history, culture and more.

Students Say

This “welcoming place” has “an Old South small town feeling,” beautiful campus, and an “amazing new recreation center,” where students can work out. There are more than 300 organizations for students to join, and “student involvement is high.” Greek life is big here, but “it’s definitely possible to fit in without being a part of Greek life.” The city of Auburn “has a safe downtown area where students can go to bars” on weekends, and there is a nearby state park where people go for fun. There’s also a “good food atmosphere in the community,” and Birmingham and Atlanta are always doable options for travel and concerts. Sports (both watching and playing) “drive a ton of campus life and help unite the student body.” “Football Saturdays at Auburn are second to none,” says a student. “I was looking for a large school with an SEC football team but also a good academic program,” says one student athlete within Auburn’s famous athletic program. The student voice is also “very respected” among the administration and “can cause tangible change”: the Student Government Association “is very strong at Auburn.”

Sustainability

Auburn University has made a campus-wide commitment to sustainability by signing the American College and University Presidents’ Climate Commitment and adopting a Climate Action Plan, and Auburn is fulfilling that commitment. Student groups are at work on issues of hunger, food, waste, and environment, as well as on approaches to sustainable design, architecture, and landscape. Auburn offers an interdisciplinary minor in sustainability, with introductory and capstone classes and wide-ranging electives taught by experts across a range of academic disciplines. Many Auburn researchers are at work on problems in sustainability, and the University’s growing Office of Sustainability offers training to all Auburn faculty in how to incorporate sustainability topics into their courses. The Office also promotes monthly Campus Conversations about timely and relevant topics and works to see that the University’s operations advance its Climate Action Plan and create a sustainable campus. The University has set bold energy conservation goals and is rapidly achieving increases in energy efficiency and conservation. Alternative transportation options abound. The campus is pedestrian-friendly; hybrid buses transport riders anywhere on campus; bike-, car-, and ride-sharing programs are available. The Auburn campus features five LEED Gold buildings, including the first to be built in Alabama, with more on the way. The living master plan for campus buildings and landscape has made sustainability a primary goal.
