Auburn University: Curious about the student demographics

I'm considering applying to Auburn University and I was wondering if any current students could give me an idea of the school's demographics. I've read the stats online but would love some first-hand experiences. Are there diverse clubs or communities I could join?

Auburn University does have its fair share of diversity. While it may not have the most extensive demographic spread compared to some other universities, it does strive to provide a vibrant community for all of its students.

Auburn University is home to various student organizations that promote diversity and inclusiveness across campus. These include, but are not limited to, the Black Student Union, International Student Organization, Hispanic Student Association, the LGBTQ+ community through Spectrum, and several faith-based student groups.

A lot of students at Auburn have mentioned the sense of "home away from home" that these organizations provide, especially for those from diverse backgrounds.

The school also hosts several events throughout the year to celebrate and acknowledge diverse cultures, ethnicities, and races. They range from food festivals to cultural shows, panel discussions, and workshops on cultural sensitivity. These platforms provide students an opportunity not only to represent their cultures and identities but also to learn, interact with, and accept others.

Remember, demographics are just one aspect of a school. Consider visiting the campus if you can, or connect with current students virtually to get a better sense of the environment, student body, and culture. These individual experiences can help provide deeper insights that go beyond demographic statistics. Auburn lists ten ways to connect with admissions here: https://auburn.edu/admissions/connect.php. These include conversations with current students, in-person or virtual tours, and even a dedicated prospective student platform where you can talk to other applicants about impressions of Auburn. I highly recommend any or all of these methods as part of your research as you decide whether to apply.
