Upper-Middle-Income Straight Wasps Everywhere!

As far as race goes, the campus is predominately white. There aren't so few minorities that it's a surprise to see someone who's not white, but I'd say the mix is probably 70% or more white.

Most of the students who go here are Christians. There are a few other religions represented. There are tons of organizations for Christians (both general and for each sect; LDS, Catholics, Baptists, etc.) and a few for other religions (I know of at least one Baha'i and one Jewish organization on campus). Beware if you're an atheist, though - people might try incredibly hard to convert you.

If you fall under the LGBT spectrum, there is a very supportive Gay-Straight Alliance with a surprising number of people in it.

All in all, the campus isn't very diverse, but don't worry about fitting in here. It's big enough that there's someone else like you out here, and you can always find support through the Office of Diversity & Multicultural Affairs.

Most of all, don't be afraid of Southern stereotypes; many of those do not apply on campus.

Parking: Something Needs to Be Fixed!

The parking situation is awful. The car will be ticketed or towed no matter how long the car was parked. It can be parked for 5 min and guaranteed one will have a ticket on the windshield. One has to come when the classes let out to ensure a parking spot. Honestly the best thing is to leave your car at home and take the Tiger transit. Either way you have to ensure at least 30 minutes to park your car or take the transit to get to class on time.

Alcohol in Jordan-Hare Stadium

Auburn University is a dry campus. If you are caught in Jordan-Hare Stadium with alcohol, you will be ejected with the game (possibly arrested if you are publicly drunk) and you will lose your ticket privileges for the remainder of the season.
