Auburn is a small, friendly university town located on the beautiful plains of eastern Alabama, about 50 miles east of Montgomery, Alabama's capital, and 115 miles southwest of Atlanta, Georgia. Other nearby cities are Birmingham (110 miles northwest) and Columbus, Georgia (35 miles east). The Gulf Coast of Florida is about four hours away by car. Auburn enjoys a warm and sunny climate with mild winters. It has excellent health and recreational facilities and a low crime rate.
Auburn has a population just over 40,000 and has the feel of a small town with everything you would expect from a major city, except for the traffic. Auburn is a bike-friendly town with bike lanes around the University.
Auburn University- Auburn
From Wikipedia, The Free EncyclopediaAuburn University (AU or Auburn) is a public university located in Auburn, Alabama, U.S. With more than 24,100 students and 1,200 faculty, it is one of the largest universities in the state. Auburn was chartered on February 1, 1856, as the East Alabama Male College, a private liberal arts school affiliated with the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. In the year 1872 the college became the state's first public land-grant university under the Morrill Act and was renamed the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama. In 1892, the college became the first four-year coeducational school in the state. From its time of establishment the curriculum at the university was mainly focused in the fields of arts and agriculture, this trend changed under the guidance of Dr. William Leroy Broun. Dr. Broun, who taught in the classics and sciences, believed that both the disciplines were important in the overall growth of the university and the individual. The college was renamed the Alabama Polytechnic Institute (API) in 1899, largely because of Dr. Broun’s beliefs in placing a scientific emphasis on liberal arts. With college continually expanding, in 1960 its name was officially changed to Auburn University expressing the varied academic programs and larger curriculum of a major university; it had been popularly known as "Auburn" for many years. Auburn is among the few American universities designated as a land-grant, sea-grant, and space-grant research center.
History
Auburn University was chartered by the Alabama Legislature as the East Alabama Male College on May 6, 1856, coming under the guidance of the Methodist Church in 1859. The first president of the institution was Reverend William J. Sasnett, and the school opened its doors in 1859 to a student body of eighty and a faculty of ten. The early history of Auburn is inextricably linked with the Civil War and the Reconstruction-era South. Classes were held in "Old Main" until the college was closed due to the Civil War, when most of the students and faculty left to enlist. The campus was used as a training ground for the Confederate Army, and "Old Main" served as a hospital for Confederate wounded.

College Advice |
Question: Which school is better - Auburn U, U New Haven, or Flagler C?Could I get into: also which one is better? University of New Haven Auburn University Flagler College I am going to be a senior at a private high school. I have a 2.95 gpa. By the end of senior year i will have: 4 math 4 science 4 religion 4 spanish 4 english 4 history and other elective credits On my ACT I got a 22 SAT I got Math 470 and CR 500 and writing 490 a total of 1460. (I will probablly take these again) I participate in Crosscountry running, Cheerleading, Yearbook, Peer Leadership, Outreach, and a Ministry program. I also volunteer at a hospital. I am also 1/4 Middle eastern if that helps and I am also going to be a first generation college student. Which of these schools could I get into?30 months ago
Best Answerauburn is probably the best out of the 3...i think you have a good chance of getting into flagler and new haven and probably auburn too. but you definitely need to consider what size school you are looking for and location because all three of them are different sizes and are in very different places. definitely retake your sat |
Question: How do I talk my parents into letting me go to an out of state college (permitting I get in)?I live in the piedmont of North Carolina. However, my dream college would be Auburn University and I've been looking at the college since I was a freshman (I'll be a senior in August). and by the way, Auburn is in Alabama and is like 6 or 7 hours away from where I live...I'd really like to go there but my parents won't even let me apply to CLEMSON which is less time away from our house than NC State...Can someone please help me???30 months ago
Best AnswerFull disclosure - I am an AUBURN graduate, 1987. But, as you might guess, I am looking at this from the other side as a future tuition-paying parent. What are my issues with where my daughter might choose to attend college? Depending on your family's financial situation, out-of-state tuition can be a huge deal. Can you take that off the table with financial assistance (loans or scholarships) or are you willing to work to cover the difference between a Piedmont school and our favorite on the Plains? Trust me, distance is in your favor. If you are "across the street" you are going to be more likely to come home every weekend, hang with the old friends and eat mom's cooking. Six or 7 hours is tough, but more than a 3 or 4 hours' drive is just about a must except for the hardest-nosed, most dedicated students. If your folks are not braced for you moving out, and away, you need to tackle that. My folks lost it when I moved away to Auburn, and almost split up. Suddenly, all they had after 18 years was themselves. It wasn't my fault, but I wish I had talked to them about "life after me" before I moved out. You don't say what you plan to major in, but there is a good chance you are going to move away in four years, regardless of where you go to college. Good luck, and War Eagle. |

Best AnswerPossibly. 74% of students who submitted their scores on the ACT got between 22 - 27. The only problem is your GPA. 8% of students had a GPA between 2.5 and 2.99. It would really help out if you were involved in Sports or even Clubs. |

Question: university choices?I have it narrowed down to two out of state universities that i want to go to: University of Alabama Birmingham and Auburn University. I want to go for Marine Biology. Does anyone have any personal experiences with either, which has the better campus, etc? Any help is appreciated. Thanks I have been accepted to both,i have a 3.452 and a 26 on the ACT38 months ago
Best AnswerMy advice to prospective students is always the same -- go to the best school that you get into. In this case, Auburn dominates. Auburn is considered one of the best universities in the South. US News ranks it 88th nationally (which is actually quite high). UAB is not as selective. It is ranked as a third tier university -- which is respectible, but not in the same league as Auburn. You will probably get a better education at Auburn, and will almost certainly get a better job when you graduate. If you decide to do graduate work after getting your degree, an Auburn degree will do more for you than a UAB degree. Friends who went ot Auburn had good experiences there. |
