I realize this is a troll thread against Auburn, but, I can't help it. It looks okay to me. I mean for college kids? It looks fine just going by the pictures.

My friends that went to Auburn lived in a trailer park when they first got there. Maybe after the first year they moved into an apartment. This was late 90's. I just assumed the housing options couldn't keep up with new enrollment. There are many more apartment complexes now.
ETA. Damn I miss those days. I made a lot of hungover drives on Sundays. I always had a blast in Auburn. I don't know if it was just the change of scenery or that my very best high school friends went there. Auburn is a great town.

i saw you posted a different one, and admittedly they look better, but the trailers looked good for what they are for.
I hate to harsh a good troll thread, but it is what it is.

Many AU students sold on mobile-home life
by Brett J. Blackledge, News staff writer
AUBURN-Garbage bags piled on the front porch are the first giveaway that college students live here. Inside are clothes crumpled on the couch, stacks of dirty dishes in the kitchen, an empty pizza box on the floor.
Bobby Cornelius is living like most college freshmen. What’s different is where he lives. Cornelius and two roommates share a mobile home in a trailer park a few miles west of Shug Jordan Parkway on the outskirts of Auburn University.
No other college in the country has taken to trailers the way Auburn has, said Jim Grimm, the University of Florida’s housing director and past president of the Association of College and University Housing Officers-International.
For years, thousands of Auburn’s 21,500 students have snubbed dorms for their own mobile homes off campus. “There are so many trailer parks around here,” said Amy Schreiner, a 21-year-old psychology major from Trussville who bought a mobile home last year with her sister. “And the majority of people who live in them are college students.”
If college campuses are a gauge of popular culture, then Auburn students are the best example of mobile homes’ wide appeal in Alabama.
“There’s kind of a stereotype that mobile home people are poor and rednecky,” Cornelius said. “That’s not generally what people here think about it.”
More than a half-dozen mobile-home parks line Wire Road just past the veterinary school. The parks look like any other, with only a few hints that under-graduates live here -- student parking decals dangling from rear-views, a few Auburn bumper stickers and license plates on cars, several porches sporting AU flags.
The students keep to themselves. And that’s the real attraction to living off-campus in a mobile home -- the privacy. There are no neighbors to worry about on the other side of the wall.
Amy Sibley bought her mobile home two years ago because she didn’t like the idea of signing an apartment lease. “You can get your money back when you sell it and you don’t have to pay rent,” said the 21-year-old senior from Russellville.
Her two older brothers lived in mobile homes while at Auburn years ago. And most of her friends are envious. She had some girlfriends over recently for a wedding shower. “They said, ‘I wish I lived in a trailer. You can decorate it any way you want.’ “
There are occasional cracks from friends when they find out you’re living in a trailer park, friends who learned everything they know about mobile homes from Jeff Foxworthy jokes.
Even Mike Gerry, a freshman from Huntsville, was floored when he heard that his brother was moving to one. “I thought, ‘Great. My brother’s a redneck.’ “
But Gerry admits he was surprised. “When I saw how nice it was, I said, ‘Now I want to live here.’ “ Next year he hopes to move in to his brother’s mobile home.

I’ll admit. I lived in a trailer at auburn for 2 years while my wife was in vet school. Conway motherfricking acres. Ponds and fields to fish and take my dogs to play in? We paid a total of 450$ a month for a pretty nice trailer that was only about 6 years old. Sold it for $500 less than what we paid.
I wish I would have done that shite when I was a freshman.

And you all settled in the poorest subdivisions of East Cobb, further bringing down the area.
