College Prowler Take
Unfortunately, Auburn University is not the multicultural hub that some think it is. The majority of students are overwhelmingly white, with just a fraction of minorities. Don’t let that intimidate you, though. Auburn students all claim to be right at home in Auburn and praise the efforts of the administration to help diversify the University. AU offers many different organizations that cater to almost every type of person and background. Of course, there have been incidents in the past concerning racial and political issues. You should do thorough research on these issues before deciding on a school. Tensions between majority and minority groups are not frequent at all, but cases do arise sometimes. Auburn has a welcoming and friendly atmosphere, but as with any school, it’s best to visit the school before making a decision to see if you think you’ll be happy. Students Speak Out

Auburn really isn’t that diverse. Most people here are from Alabama or somewhere else in the South, so they don’t have much to compare it to. Auburn is filled with your ‘good old-fashioned Bible-beater,’ as they call them down here. If you’re even a little bit liberal, then brace yourself. You might be shocked by some of the opinions on diversity down here. |

I don’t think it’s very diverse here. I mean, sure there are all types of different people here, but it’s mostly white people. |

It’s not that diverse. I, myself, am an Asian Indian, and there are not too many Indians here. There are many white people. |

There are a lot of different kinds of people, but everybody usually sticks to their own ethnic groups. |

Not at all diverse. They’re working on it, but you’ve probably heard of the racial incident that happened with a certain frat at Auburn. If not, then just check it out, and it’ll pretty much tell you what happened. |
