Auburn is a great school, especially if you love football. But, many of the Chemistry and other science departments employ foreign professors which makes it very hard to understand material. Also the Chem. department has no problem failing a large portion of the class, along with other science classes. Beware if you are going into science to study, study , study. Getting into this school is not that hard, but keeping a good GPA is very hard. Very good reputation for the science program. Good school overall.

December 9th, 2003: the day Auburn University is placed on academic probation by SACS (The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools). This is a sad day indeed for Auburn Alums, Auburn Students, and prospective Auburn students. Our degrees are now not worth the paper they are printed on. :(

Quite Bright
Depending upon the type of person you may be, I strongly suggest that prospective students to this university exhibit extreme caution in making a final commitment decision. If you are a Serious student seeking a community where mental stimulation is upheld amongst the vast majority of the student body, HALT ABRUPTLY NOW! Go somewhere else! Students at this school are infinitely more concerned with getting absolutely wasted, or having conversation pertaining to amorphous, jargon replete trendy fashion, or who they fucked the night before...yuppie town indeed. Be wary!! This is a haven for self-conceited, entirely conservative, completely narcissistic, mindless sluts...though many of them are admittedly quite attractive, don't plan on engaging in any sort of meaningful conversation with them. As for the remaining aspects of the social scene, ..it is very much nonexistent much to my chagrin. The town is infinitesimally miniscule and offers NO real entertaining diversions from studying. Inordinate amounts of alcohol consumption and football seem to be everyone's only passions; an incredible shame. It's even more disheartening because actually, most professors I had or encountered were very intelligent, well-versed in their particular fields, and willing to help the students to succeed. All the professors are very accessible, seem amiable and are not a bit pompous. In conclusion, this isn't an insanely awful place to attend higher education strictly depending on the type of individual you are, however, non-conformists and free thinkers, you will be engulfed in a menagerie of mind numbing, Johnny frat boy assholes! 'Tis a mandate that you shall experience feelings of being lost, lonely, dejected, isolated from progressive society, and totally worthless. These maleovlent factors are precisely why I'm transferring to either the University of Georgia, Wisconsin, or Michigan next year.(I was accpted for transfer to all of these institutions after earning a 3.6 first year GPA) If your priorities and goals consist of a slightly more intellectually inclined orientation; more than simply booze and football, I'd seriously instruct you to seek higher learning and your temporary location of abode elsewhere. I must be honest in informing you this is definitely NOT worth it. If you are at all similar to me, please don't come here as I'd likely be your only friend and I'm outttttta here next year ^_^
