Tuscaloosa is a city, so it has city advantages and city problems. Auburn is a quaint little college town. If you like sleepy little towns, you could do a lot worse than auburn.

To me, Tuscaloosa is more fun, and Alabama's campus is lovely.

I live in Oregon, though, so whatever.

This. There's WAY more to do in Tuscaloosa than Auburn. Even Auburn's bar scene is a joke. But to everyone talking about the ghettos in Tuscaloosa, Auburn shares a border with Opelika - one of the biggest shite-holes in the state. Auburn's practically a suburb of Opelika. I also find it funny Auburn citizens like to claim Tiger Town (which is in the Opelika city limits), but dismiss the rest of the Opelika as if it's on an island of its own. Plus there are plenty of eye sores in Auburn as well, so I don't know where this notion that Auburn is the emerald city comes from.

But saying 'Bama is better, academically, than Auburn is laughable. I love watching both sides of the fence argue over which school is superior to the other in terms of academics. It's like watching two males with microscopic penises argue whose is bigger. Plus it's a fact an Auburn degree is technically worth more than a 'Bama degree. Same thing goes with the campus arguments. Both are nice and well-kempt. How can anyone honestly say one is nicer than the other? It's a draw, IMHO.
