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.

Why are you posting this on a sports SEC board? There we other forums

" 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.

Brother, you are wrong. Times have changed and kids want more value for their money. They have to work, and going to classes each day when a Teacher's Assistant is making nothing, every day, is not the way to go. I know Auburn. I obtained my B.S. there, brother.
Auburn needs to cut the whole "expansionism" shite, and get back to 18,000.
Don't lecture me on aptitude.

I had a Kicklighter scholarship. The "Hope" before it went back to Georgia, and a grant from Comer.
I knew Auburn before you were born, son.

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

It's a joke.
Do NOT send your kids to these "for-profit" Universities.
You will regret putting your kids in a financial burden for life.
Just watch their sports, and know that your offspring WILL make just as much money as a College kid straight out of College. And, probably more throughout life. It's equal right now in trades (Community College) and Universities.
Don't let them trick you. Universities are a joke.

Kinda seems like you need some help in writing.

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.

Because the semester has started, and students are past due on their $18,000 loans?
In SEC Schools.

They put me in one of those airplanes. They had one on Haley South. I did not like it. It was interesting, but I kissed the ground.
Posted on 10/7/23 at 1:21 am to New Hampshire Tiger
Do they still park the planes there (Haley Center), and ask you to get in for "a ride"? Very bad decision, lol. Vomit city.

For real. If he’s going to act superior, he needs to show some respect for himself and show proper grammar.

I had Dr. Kicklighter as a professor, junior - keep his name out of your negative complaining mouth.

$50,000 degrees aren't going to get very far in the future.
I wonder if Auburn and Alabama can actually join together for Alabama kids, and make things cheaper. These are our kids.
Alabama is a fool, as a State, for not allowing the lottery.
Despite that, we could drive those numbers to around $4,000 per semester per student.
Alabama could have the whole State University Programs, and Auburn could have the Agricultural Schools. It would fit both of our missions as foundational Universities.
And, make degrees obtainable to students in our State.
Think about it.

It's not about Football. It's for $75,000 per year in return for your Alabama Children.
Take some pride in yourselves, for a change.

Alabama Law School has a 34% chance of getting accepted after 2 years of undergraduate.
Auburn Engineering has a 16% chance of getting accepted after 2 years of undergraduate.
Both are impressive numbers.
Law is very hard to conquer in Language. Math is equally hard to comprehend.
It's a draw. Get over it.

Kicklighter was a God. Medieval History brought to life, with the drawl.
