Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Auburn is football, as some people say down here. Students rave about the high energy and school spirit that is displayed on game days. You don’t have to worry about getting bored around here, especially if you’re a sports fanatic! Attend a varsity game or get involved in an intramural sport, if that’s your thing. Students promise that you’ll have fun, no matter what you choose.

Just because sports are widely popular at Auburn, don’t think that there isn’t anything else for you to get involved in. If sports are not your thing, then there are plenty of other activities and organizations to be a part of. However, part of your tuition will go towards funding the sports on campus, so if that is not a main attraction to you, then you might want to reconsider.

2010 National Champions !

Auburn athletics are a really big deal. Especially football. Our fans are the "AUBURN FAMILY" and our motto is "all in". Everyone LOVES our football team and supports the team no matter what win or lose. The big event is the Iron Bowl against Alabama.

High School Spirit Is Abundant

Basically, the kids for the most part come to auburn for the football games--get drunk to to frats. Its like high school without parental supervision. However, they are just now getting around to building an althelic center, so if you need a locker room Forget it! Also the weight lifting facility is old and outdated.

School Spirit

Overwhelming! School spirit thrives in Auburn, especially during the football season. The town transforms into almost a metropolis during home games. You can even hear the roar of the crowd in the stadium from several miles away. Don’t try to drive downtown on a home game day; you’ll be taken over by a sea of orange and blue tailgaters and game-day attendees.

Getting Tickets

Football tickets are more difficult to get for underclassmen, but tickets to most games can be bought or sold outside of the university program, though prices may be higher. All other sports tickets are easy to get.

Best Place to Take a Walk

The Arboretum, the Quad, downtown Auburn, Chewalkla State Park

Did You Know? Auburn swimming is usually top in the nation. At the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, Auburn swimmers earned 16 medals!
