Auburn University

Location

Auburn is a tiny little town in the south of the United States, with not much to do, and not too much to look forward to even once you’re out, to be honest. The nearest city of any real note is Atlanta, and that too is a good 100 miles or so away. Best of luck.

Campus

The modish campus, built over 341 acres, is arranged in a grid like fashion with distinct building groups. The engineering buildings have the business school for company in the northern sector of the central campus. The whole university looks really beautiful, with a lovely blend of some traditional-looking and some modernistic buildings. Many of the research centres are brand new, so you can be forgiven for missing a couple of heartbeats the first time you set foot in them.

Residing Options

As for housing, off-campus apartments are definitely the way to go. Significantly cheaper and far more comfortable than dormitories, off-campus housing is also pretty easy to obtain. Creekside, Logan Square, Garden District, etc have a number of lovely apartments to choose from, and it’s always advisable to make sure you have a roommate or two.
