We didn't miss a game even during the Harsin years, painful as that was. Thank goodness for Bruce Pearl.

Good luck to him I also have a nephew starting the flight program in the fall.

We did the tour a couple of years ago and it's a great program. It's kind of like the Delta Flight School.

He got into a few other programs, but their airline affiliations were weak. It came down to Auburn or Purdue.

It's a long trip from NY to Auburn.

I lived at Plainsman Apartments on Mag back in my day (right next door to the Catholic church location at the time who have since moved… I think the Methodist church bought that vacated property).

One bedroom with two single beds… one bath… one combined kitchenette/living area… cinder-block walls… heating and air provided by a single window-unit in the living space. Approx $200 per month 1980-85 ($100 per roommate if double occuoancy).

BEST time of my life. My friends at those apts then are still my brothers 40 years later.

Now college towns and colleges make it their overt purpose to gouge students with tuition and living.

I feel bad for kids these days.

(My total tuition per year at Auburn at its highest? $1440 for the year ($480 per quarter) out-of-state.)

Also if he is going in August he should be attending camp war Eagle in a couple weeks. So you need to make sure he gets registered for that.

Housing I think was chosen last week but could be mistaken. I know bama’s was last week because my step son is going there in the fall.

If yall missed it there are tons of off campus apartments that are basically on campus. That’s where my son stays in off campus apartments. A little pricey for me but his mom worked out the details out.

It’s a must for new students. Most would be lost without this 2-3 day orientation.

I lived at Tiger Terrace on West Glenn Avenue. It was a great location and an easy walk to my classes.

back in the mid-90s, the thought was if you had a group of friends also going to Auburn, an apartment was the better route to go or a house if you could get one but they were tough to come by. if you were going solo or didn't know many people / have many friends, the dorm was the better option because you'd get put with people and you could hang out with them.

we did an apartment my freshmen year and then lucked into a house on, uh, Warrior Court the rest of the time I was there. it was right by the railroad tracks and behind what was Gabby's and then Tiger Time and then it's changed a few more times and I don't know what's there now. the Spur gas station was across the street and Papa John's setup shop very close by while we lived there. so cheap beer, cigarettes and pizza were constant.
