What made you choose to come to Auburn?
My grandfather graduated from Auburn and brought me to games. I began to like the people and atmosphere along with the beauty and layout of campus.

How has receiving the Alumni Scholarship impacted your life? It has helped allow me to not work and so be able to focus on school more, which, with the classes I’m taking, has been a blessing. The time that I don’t have to work I have also spent just as free time allowing me to meet more new people.

What has been your best experience at Auburn so far? The football games. I love football and the atmosphere of the games. Gameday is not just about the game though. It’s a time to spend with new friends and tailgate.

What would you say to a high school student from your area who is considering coming to Auburn University? I would tell them it’s definitely worth coming here. There are all types of people here and different groups to get plugged in. Also, just about anything the student would want to study, Auburn has available, even good study abroad programs.

What do you think off when you hear?

Auburn Spirit: The football games and the eagle circling the field.

Auburn Family: The people all tailgating before games and the many war eagles and high fives given between strangers before and during gametime.

War Eagle: football games
