Jonathan Perkins

Hometown: Muscle Shoals, AL

Major: Mechanical Engineering

What made you choose to come to Auburn?
I looked at UAH, Alabama, Mississippi State, and Auburn. I choose Auburn mainly for its updated facilities, beautiful campus, small town feel, and friendly people.

How has receiving the Alumni Scholarship impacted your life?
I was told when I was young, that if I wanted to go to Auburn I’d have to either get a scholarship or take out loans. Not wanting to be in debt, I worked hard in school and it paid off with this scholarship. It has allowed me to keep my mind on school and not bills.

What has been your best experience at Auburn so far?
The football games with my fellow students and friends have made the biggest impact.

What would you say to a high school student from your area who is considering coming to Auburn University? I have been telling everyone that asks that Auburn is the right school. Friendly teachers, great people, great atmosphere.
