College Prowler Take

Students at Auburn overwhelmingly prefer off-campus housing to on-campus housing. For the most part, it’s convenient, relatively easy to obtain, and sometimes even cheaper than living in a dorm.

While off-campus housing is preferred, students still advise you to try living on campus for at least a year or so. When you do decide to get a place off campus, start looking early. Since off-campus housing is so popular, decent apartments, townhouses, and condos can fill up just as quickly as the dorms do.

Off-campus housing is pretty convenient because Tiger Transit can pick you up. For your first year, I would live on campus just to get the complete Auburn experience. Also, it is easier to make friends living on campus.

Anywhere on Glenn or Magnolia will be awesome. Search early and don't hesitate to settle the lease, or you won't get a spot. Overall though, the off-campus option is great regardless of how old you are.

There are all kinds of apartments and townhouses for rent close to campus, as well as several trailer parks, which are the most entertaining places to stay. My trailer is about five minutes off campus, and I have no problem getting to class on time or anything. Finding a place is not a problem at all. If you are planning on living off campus, then you need to start your search soon because the best ones will fill up fast.

I lived in an apartment right across the street from campus and it was wonderful. I walked everywhere. Even to the farthest place on campus, it’s not more than a 15-minute walk, and it was easier than trying to drive and find a parking place. Most of the student parking is just as far as one of those apartments.

The wide majority of apartments are within five minutes of campus. Most of them are within a few blocks. Some, like College Park 1 and 2, Sterling, and the Edge, are a mile or two away from campus, but the Tiger Transit runs out there all the time so you can get to class easily.

Did You Know?

Don’t worry about not being able to make it to class on time if you live off-campus—Tiger Transit has reliable day and night routes that travel between campus and almost every apartment complex in Auburn.
