Hey there. You’re in luck, I live in Talon Hall currently as a freshman in Materials Engineering.


What do the units actually come with?


It is structured like an apartment would be. You walk in through the front door of your “suite” as they’re called into the common room. On your right are several cabinets, sink, microwave and a fridge (no stove though). You also have 2 large windows in the common room, 2 wooden chairs, a square table, 1 comfy chair and a couch. You share a bathroom with one other person, and outside of the bathroom is the sink and cabinets.

Your actual room is pretty spacious but I don’t know the exact dimensions offhand. The room closer to the bathroom is bigger (by about 2 square feet lengthwise) so I suggest you try and grab one of those if you can. You have a bed (which is actually quite comfy), desk, desk chair, 4 large drawers, a metal bar to hang towels or to put a curtain (don’t know the exact name for this) and one shelf.


Where are laundry facilities?


The ground floor directly to the right of the elevator. Men are on 3rd/4th floor, women on 1st/2nd.


Is there a bus stop that will take you to the other side of campus, where the engineering buildings are?


There are a couple close by, yes, although to be honest I don’t use them very much. My farthest class is in Parker Hall, which is a 15 minute walk, and I like walking (weird, I know :P). I generally only use the bus if I need to go off-campus, or to someplace really far away like the medical center (better yet, I just bum rides off my friends that have cars haha).

If you have any questions feel free to email me at fin0001@auburn.edu. Even though this was my “safety” school I am quite impressed with the quality of my education.
