Lack of Diversity at AU
Auburn University is located in the deep south, and as a result while some students are recruited from other areas, most students come from Alabama and share in typical southern beliefs. The racial diversity is almost non-existent as most students are white with maybe a total of 15% of the student body being any other race. The religious diversity is fare but not advertised. Likewise 50% of students on campus come from families whose income totals over $150,000 per year, and the other %50 is either on scholarship or loans. There are a lot of challenges posed at AU for students seeking to break the traditional molds and mingle with other groups. Mingling is looked down upon by many students and the University doesn't go far out of it's way to make students of different backgrounds feel welcome. Auburn has a lot of room for growth in this area.
