If your child can’t handle 4-years in a college bubble in a state with different political leanings than you, then you are not doing a good job parenting and your child’s lack of resilience and flexibility is going to greatly hinder future success. Also, your lack of tolerance for different view points is exactly what you are accusing others of.

Very odd reply. You do realize that Auburn is in Alabama? Not avoiding the state. Just don’t love Bama the school.

DP Bama and Auburn are really not drastically different. Having a preference is fine, but some reflection is needed if one is a non-starter because again, they’re not that different.

They are very different. So different I don’t believe you’ve been to both campuses.

What are you talking about?

NP. They are indeed very, very different. The students are different. The campus vibe is different. The surrounding city is different. You don't know until you visit both.

Auburn has a stronger profile. How else are students different? How is the vibe different? City?

Auburn does not have the “stronger profile”. It does for engineering and I think architecture. But bio and business are better at Alabama.

Tell us what it’s really like and how you would know.

I'm originally from Alabama and have lived more than 30 years of my life there. I have spent a significant amount of time in both Auburn and Tuscaloosa as a student and in my post-grad life, interacting with graduates of both schools socially and professionally.
