Hi Hokiemama24…thanks for the feedback. No reason to lie. The town of Auburn, the University and the atmosphere, are sincerely life-changing. Living in AL for HS and then attending there as a student, was so normal and matter of fact.
Now, coming from OOS like yourself- as a parent- you truly recognize how lucky the kids are that get the opportunity to go there and pay the ~ $12k tuition.

Pertaining scholarships - you’re right. AU doesn’t offer a big package like some of the other SEC schools have, like UA, LSU and MSU. With AU changing the academic scholarship “offer” this year, it costs us $12k in $$, plus with the amount going up another $1k/year it stung a little more.

Hopefully your daughter will find her place, her campus and great history and wonderful legacy to call her own. In the meantime…take a little trip to Auburn; have a lemonade, laugh at Aubie and watch the sunset. One doesn’t have to athletically pull/root for the Tigers, but take in a little southern hospitality that offers a truly AUsome experience.

Good luck. Keep posting on your daughters next steps.
