Auburn is a joke school for education in the current format.

Engineering is amazing and life-changing. Agriculture is beyond amazing. Those are worthy of $80,000 per year degrees.
I went back to school in August as a 39 year old to get my Masters and this is what has happened so far:
My English Professor didn't show up for 2 weeks, "because he was in France." But he wanted us to read 2 books from Shakespeare and Miguel de Cervantes. While cancelling classes 6 days in a row on a semester calendar. (2 weeks)
My History "Doctor of Letters" (whatever that means), could not place the Tudors timeline in order from Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward (died at 16), Bloody Mary (bitch), Elizabeth.
Then, a professor in "Appalachian History" wants to drop me down from an A+ because I read and memorized his $200 book, and aced his exams, but didn't go to his 8:00 AM class at 8am because I found it boring and predictable. Did I get an earned "A", or did you drop me to a "B" due to your ego.
Auburn has some work to do. This education is not cheap, and the University needs to understand that "You" work "for" the Students, and not the other way around.
Don't send your kids to Auburn.

Auburn is over-populated to the point that Freshman are waiting for simple Science Courses that they took in High School, but it will take a year to get through Freshman English, History, Tennis, Simple Algebra I and II and Beginning Computers (Word, Excel, etc).
Quality over Quantity. Give the students an Education, not a gauntlet of failure while making them finance $70,000 for nothing over 30 years.
Auburn needs to remind itself of their original purpose.
Outreach to Alabama through Agriculture, Engineering and Learning.

Seems like you are the problem and not the university. English class? Appalachian History? More useless focuses from a 40 year old seeking a change.

" Don't send your kids to Auburn"
Don't send your adults either! Like most things nowadays college has become a complete waste of time and money.

You’re right it’s not just auburn is all a joke, they just need your money.

The aviation program has been lacking a bit since they built the Flight Education Building. Their hourly rates for aircraft have gotten to the point where they can only cater to the ‘Daddy’s Money’ type of students. The stage progression is also beyond slow. Students shouldn’t be taking over 4 years to earn 250 hours for a commercial rating.

Why is your masters courework so heavy into 101 type courses?
Are you of the regressive clan?
And despite the coursework being a nuisance to you are you going to benefit from having the Masters degree? If so, stick it out...

AU is a STEM school. If you want to read a novel, then go to Amazon.

What masters degree has you taking English and history courses? You realize grad school isn’t like undergrad where you take a variety of classes across the disciplines, right?
Methinks you’re full of shite.

First world problems. Unreal this is a thread.

You had me until the last paragraph. You can’t skip the 8:00 Monday staff meeting in real life because “it’s boring and predictable”…

We didn't come here to play school.

Maybe 50% of the people going to “liberal” arts colleges need to be there.
World better think baws that got a skill instead and use it every day.

I already have mine there
She is in her second year and is in the engineering program. So far in regards to scheduling her classes, her professors, etc she really hasn't had an issue.
Our biggest complaint would be the lack of housing for students both on campus and off campus. When she was a freshman there were no available spots for her to get on campus so she had to live off campus.

Shut up Harry

If your professor outlined in their syllabus that attendance was a part of the grading scale and you chose to not go to class, I’m not sure what to tell you

That's a long drive from New Hampshire to Auburn every day for classes.

A masters from there (perhaps not yours though…Appalachian history?) is still likely worlds better than the online diploma mill masters programs that have ZERO rigor. The quality of new employee that “brick-and-mortar” schools provide is so much better than the online schools.
