AUBURN University

Auburn University is one of the top public universities in the nation and home to more than 31,000 students from every state and across the globe. Also known as the Loveliest Village on the Plains, the charming campus overflows into the surrounding city, offering residents the opportunity to enjoy all the benefits of college life — a vibrant, diverse community, unique academic opportunities, year-round championship athletics and beloved traditions.

As one of the few institutions designated as a land-, sea- and space-grant university, Auburn is the hub of life-changing research and outreach activities that uplift communities — across Alabama and around the world. This mission allows Auburn to offer a transformative student experience that emphasizes hands-on learning and real-world applications of academic pursuits.

Located at the heart of the city of Auburn, the Auburn University campus is nationally recognized as one of the most beautiful and includes a mixture of historic buildings, expansive green spaces and state-of-the-art academic and athletic facilities. The ever-growing and changing campus is an idyllic setting for students, but also serves as a gathering space for the entire community.

While the university is known for its academic excellence, deep history and celebratory traditions, what truly makes Auburn unique is the warm, welcoming spirit and unmatched sense of belonging. Long after graduation or far from the physical campus, hundreds of thousands of alumni and countless students, fans and friends who love Auburn have an invisible, yet undeniable, connection — referred to proudly as the Auburn Family.
