[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As far as Auburn kids being a notch classier than UGA (and 2 notches classier than Alabama), this is just something I’ve observed over the years. I have one child who went to UGA and one who picked Auburn over UGA for engineering. We live in Georgia, so the pull to UGA is huge because of the Zell/Hope scholarship. My kids’ friends who picked Auburn were just more kind, down to earth, and generally more religious.  Of course, partying is rampant on both campuses. But, UGA is on a different level with 80+ bars drawing the kids in every night of the week. I guess I’ve just seen too many pics of UGA girls walking around half-clothed and carrying gallon jugs of alcohol at Darty’s. Lol[/quote]

I have family members who attended both schools, and I do think Athens is more of a party town than Auburn, and the campus is larger and more impersonal.  Not that there isn't partying at Auburn -- the tailgate scene is pretty intense. This may sound corny, but the Auburn grads talk about the "Auburn family," and IME, it's true. If you see an Auburn grad see someone wearing Auburn gear in any city in the US (or the world), you'll think they know each other. I've had the experience of saying watching this and saying "Who was that?" and the Auburn grad says "I don't know. I've never seen them before in my life." [/quote]
