Report Card
During my undergrad, my professors were awesome. Just keep in mind that you can and should ask them anything. They are there to help you. About the only problem I saw was with my chemistry lab professors. Usually, these guys are foreign grad students so they have real problems with English anyway. That’s pretty much how it goes at other schools, too.

Overall Experience

Auburn - Auburn, AL

Overall, students are very happy to be in Auburn. They love the people around them and the experiences that they get to have.

College is what you make of it. If you sit at home and don’t do anything, then you won’t enjoy yourself no matter where you go. With all the options you have offered to you at Auburn, you have to try to not have a good time. And with a student body that is so happy to be here, it’s also hard not to get swept up in the excitement. As always, it’s a good idea to visit a college or university before making a final decision. Make sure you’re as happy and comfortable as you can possibly be.
