Auburn Classes
There are many core requirements which can take away time from core classes. The core classes cover a wide range of knowledge which is beneficial as an overall education, but not always needed for particular majors. Some core classes can be hard to get into because all students are required to take them. Since I am now in my major, Industrial Design, the classes are much smaller, and I know all my professors really well, and they are always excited to help with any problem. My major does not require much study time since it is more studio and project based, but there are many good study places on campus. Residence halls have study rooms, which I used often my freshman year.

Partying
Most of the bars are just off campus, so if you live close to campus you can walk. Most of the nights the bars are 21 and up, but Wednesday nights are 19+. I am not 21 yet, so i dont go to the bars. The fraternities always have parties, and the frat houses are just off campus. Auburn has a night security shuttle that you can call to pick you up at night if you are around campus. Apartment parties are a little smaller, and more personable groups, and cheaper than going to the bars. Just make sure you have a DD.

Transportation
If you live on campus, you can walk to almost anywhere on campus within 15 minutes. If you live off campus, there is Tiger Transit which is the bus service paid for through the University. The transits go to almost all apartment complexes and run from morning till 6. They run every 15 minutes. There are also Tiger transits that run to the shopping centers (not as frequently). You can get a parking pass and drive to campus, just make sure you get there with time to find a spot. After 6pm, the Night shuttle runs around campus, and you just call it to pick you up. I still recommend having a car since it is more convenient at times.
