Residential Life

Housing

Housing and Residence Life offers accommodations for single undergraduate students, 75 percent of whom now live on campus, in three main locations that are popular reference points for students:

-The Hill houses men and women in 12 residence halls.

-The Quad consists of 10 residence halls housing both men and women. These residence halls are located in the center of campus and are convenient to many classroom buildings.

-The Village Community, newly opened in 2009, houses men and women in eight residence halls and “super suites” shared by four students. Auburn’s social sororities are housed in three of the buildings, and a fourth building houses members of the Honors College. The remaining four buildings are co-ed, housing both freshmen and upperclassmen. Dining and other amenities are located near The Village.

Learning and Living-Learning Communities

Learning Communities are groups of 25 students (cohorts) who share a common interest in either an academic college or a topic, such as environmental awareness. The cohort takes several classes together and participates in additional organized activities related to the topic. Living-Learning Communities are structured similarly to Learning Communities, except all students in the cohort live in the same residence hall.

There are many benefits to participating in a Learning or Living-Learning Community. Students immediately meet other students with common interests who face similar academic challenges. They also have the opportunity to get to know a faculty member or administrator in their college who shares similar interests, and often develop lifelong connections and enjoy an enriched campus experience.

Tiger Transit

Tiger Transit provides easy access around and to and from campus from many areas; usage has increased to tens of thousands of riders each week and is free to Auburn students with a valid AU ID card. Students have unlimited access to all routes.

A Night Security Shuttle Van Service is also operated by Auburn’s Department of Public Safety. Toomer’s Ten, a new student-led project developed in partnership with the City of Auburn, provides safe, late-night transportation from the popular downtown Toomer’s Corner area.
