University of Tennessee (Knoxville) or Auburn University?

I’m trying to decide which one of these two to apply to. What are some pros and cons of each school? such as diversity (such as openness to other races), school spirit, friendliness, campus aesthetics, ,etc.

Which of these would have stronger programs in engineering and business and architecture?

I went to UT. I cannot speak about Auburn.

I enjoyed my time at UT. From what I have seen from Alumni news, they have a strong business school.

I know the school spirit is really HIGH! There are tons of Tennessee Traditions…. Go Vols!

The campus is nice. There are historic areas and newer construction side by side.

Take a campus tour and see for yourself. Make sure you do your research concerning departments and stuff.

All in all, your college experience is what you make of it. You have the tools in your hand to succeed and create your own community.

Good luck!

I am a recent graduate from Auburn and I loved it! The people are friendly, the campus is beautiful and of course there is tons of school spirit. There are tons of organizations to join on campus so its very easy to get involved and make friends. Auburn has some neat traditions including rolling Toomers corner when any team wins a game in their sport, Tiger Walk, and flying the Eagle before football games, among others.

I used to live near UT and I like that school as well. UT is more of a city school because its in Knoxville, whereas Auburn has a small town feel. There are 23,000 students in Auburn in a town of about 40,000 residents so the school basically makes up the town. So take that into consideration when choosing where to go. I’d definitely suggest you take campus tours of each school.

As far as the programs you asked about, I know Auburn is ranked as one of the best programs in the country for business, engineering and architecture. The Engineering school is ranked as one of the best in the country I believe. Overall Auburn is considered one of the best public Universities in the country.

Make sure to research each school before you make a final decision. The Princeton Review website is a good place to go to compare statistics on schools. I can’t imagine myself going to another school other than Auburn, but you might not feel its the best place for you. Research the programs you are interested in at each school and definitely go visit!

I hope this helps and War Eagle!
