About Me

Intro

As you've probably heard by now, I'm one of the hardest schools in Alabama. No, this isn't just a rumor—I definitely place a premium on hitting the books. Hard. But I promise all those late night study sessions at the library are well worth it. I churn out champions.

Besides, that time my students spend with their noses in the books quickly fades from memory as they cheer on our championship-winning football team, the Tigers. Sports not your thing? Plop your butt in a hammock in Chewacla State Park and you'll forget about studying in no time; it's about as serene as settings get. I'm also home to almost fifty frats and sororities, which means there are ample parties to attend if that's your thing.

In other words, I've earned pretty much every reputation I have: serious academic institution, serious athletic institution, and serious party scene. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to grab some lemonade from Toomer's, which is so good it once topped an Esquire magazine list for why it's good to be American (source).

Name

Aubie the Tiger

Hometown

At risk of blowing your mind, get this—I'm from Auburn, Alabama. Go figure, right? While some schools hang out on the outskirts of their cities, I'm right in the heart of Auburn. Students can easily access all this beautiful small city has to offer (including the country's best lemonade, tons of delicious food, live music, and more).

Opelika is my neighbor and I borrow a cup of sugar from them sometimes. By sugar I mean two movie theatres, a mall, a huge shopping center, and lots of restaurants.

Birthdate

1856

Body Type

The bigger, the better, right? If that's your motto, you'll love me. Not only are my jumbotron and recreation facility the biggest in the nation, but my student body (a.k.a. my little Southern belles) is also quite large. I have over twenty thousand quirky, intelligent, charming students that attend my college.

Current Living Situation

With so many students attending me, I take my on-campus housing very seriously. Want to live in a co-ed dorm? No problem. Prefer to keep things all female or all male, all the time? I have a couple of dorms set aside for you. 

I cram the freshman together in one dorm for bonding reasons, and I also hook sororities up with some sweet residence halls of their own. If you like to do your learning in luxury, fear not—one of my residence halls features suites that have their own laundry and flat-screen TVs inside them.

Thinking you'd prefer to rest your weary head off-campus? No problem. Since I'm surrounded by the city of Auburn, apartments abound.

Relationship Status

The University of Alabama is my number one arch nemesis, though the University of Georgia comes in a close second. Try not to say the words Big Al on campus, okay? I'd hate for some of my students to chuck toilet paper at your head in response—we need to save it all for decorating the trees after we win.

You should apply to me if...

you're looking for a serious relationship. I'm in it for the long haul, ready to make all of your dreams come true, both in and out of the classroom, and on and off the playing field.
