If it helps, I had to make the exact same decision last year and ended up here at Auburn. I loved both schools but for me, Auburn just made more sense. AU is in the process of building a brand new small animal hospital that will be opening in 2014 so you will be in the second class going through clinics at the new hospital. The large animal hospital was finished just a few years ago so it will barely be 10 years old when you get into clinics.
I also preferred the location of Auburn even though both KSU and AU are in college towns. AU is only a little over an hour from Atlanta and maybe 45 minutes from Montgomery verses KSU being 2 hours from Kansas City. Auburn also seemed a lot "greener" to me with more trees than KSU but I did visit KSU in early January which could have something to do with it! AU is also 4 hours from the beach which allows for some marine mammal electives as well as being close to both the Montgomery and Atlanta zoos with the Birmingham zoo only be 2 hours away.
Basically, it comes down to where you want to live because both schools give you a great education. Both use tablets for classes and both have great reputations for producing great veterinarians. Good luck with your decision!
