[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is going to Auburn. Visited both in the same week. Very different vibes- Alabama is a huge, pristine campus, greek architecture , lots of green space. Students look 'happy" and are friendly. He had a great visit there. But hated Tuscaloosa- like really hated it. He really thought about spending four years there and just couldn't imagine.

Auburn campus is really pretty and really compact. Very different style than Bama. Students go out of their way to be friendly and are really happy to engage. We noticed that on Auburn's campus, many students wear Auburn gear- not nearly as many at Bama. The surrounding town is really cute- small southern charm. Target right on campus. Really nice off campus housing- a lot of the off campus housing we saw in Tuscaloosa is dumpy.

Auburn is about 65% IN State, Bama is 65% OUT of state.

He is really excited to be heading to Auburn! Turned down Bama, UTK, South Carolina, UKY, CU Boulder, NC State, UMD, and Ole Miss- Auburn's campus and charm beat all of them. [/quote]

Why did he hate Tuscaloosa? Did you visit any of the others? [/quote]

Felt like it is really depressing. It is sort of suburban strip mall on the outskirts and immediately surrounding campus just a couple ugly blocks of bars and restaurants. Zero charm. [/quote]
