We’re flying into Birmingham and visiting Bama (dare I mention that on this thread? LOL) on Thursday, then Auburn on Friday. My daughter has already been accepted to Alabama and is anxiously (wringing hands as we speak) awaiting a decision from Auburn.

MetroAtlantaDad, I appreciate the suggestions and will see if my daughter can connect with anyone from her high school who’s currently at Auburn. I’ve been through this twice before (two sons) and agree a more personal tour is the best bet for getting a real feel for the campus. The Honors College is unfortunately out for her–we’re just hoping she gets in (high GPA but low scores)–but I appreciate the suggestion. She’s planning on majoring in Elem Ed, so I think a stop at the College of Education is a must–thanks so much for reminding me. And I’m glad you mentioned Toomer’s Corner…we’ve seen lots of pictures, so it will be fun to finally see it in person–even sans the TP!

Any other suggestions, send 'em my way!

Thanks again!
