I've heard about students living in Auburn over Tuskegee, but more due to Tuskegee not having things to do. Never heard about safety issues.
Thanks for the advice! So the Kellogg Center is on campus? Trying to decide whether I want to stay there or at a hotel in Auburn and commute. Of course I have no idea what time my interview will be.I live in Auburn, but I go to Tuskegee. It's about a 20-25 minute drive. I carpool with a girl that happens to live in my mobile home park (totally the way to go, btw!), but I know of another group down the street that also carpools. Same with TU students that live in The Greens, The Reserve, or any other large apartment complex. If you get accepted and added to the C/O 2018 email list, you can get an idea of who's living near you or that is looking for a roommate. If you want to live in Tuskegee, the email list is where you'll start seeing ads for houses available to vet students to rent--they don't really advertise them online.
When you come for your interview, you'll see the differences between the two cities. Take a few minutes to drive around Tuskegee and see the historical sites. It's not really the crime that is the issue--if you want to go to any large grocery store, the gym, dog park, bars, etc. it's all in Auburn.
Also, I made the mistake of thinking I could just pop into a cheap motel (I was totally broke at the time) in Tuskegee and stay the night. Uhhh, get a room at the Kellogg Center or just stay in Auburn.
And Hotfillyky, I'll be on the lookout for a charming person with a gray suit and dark boots!
Does Tuskegee do a white coat ceremony?
I figured I would end up needing to contact the schools financial aid office. Thanks!I just know that at one school I applied to requires parental info on FAFSA unless you are over 30 or married. There are also some other special circumstances where that may be waived, but I would say to include your parents info if you can. And you can always ask the financial aid folks at Tuskegee or wherever you're applying to, but if they're like most other places, they will need parental info to maximize your aid package.
Good Luck!!!!!Thursday!!!

You too!Good Luck!!!!!
oh man! I totally got caught up in talking with people and forgot to look for you! maybe I spoke with you and didn't know it! haha hope your interview went well!
Anybody that has already interviewed have any insight/advice?
lol....I wondered the same thing! I was there pretty early this morning. I thought it went just fine. They asked a few questions that took me a bit off guard but nothing terrible. What time was your interview?
My interview was at 9am so I was there at 8am and sat around talking with people. Were you one of them?! haha
And yes, I totally agree with everyone who said to relax and be honest. My interviewers said they really appreciated that I mentioned flaws in my application in my personal statement because they liked my honesty. They were very nice and I look forward to one day calling them my teachers if I get in! They even remembered the doctor that wrote my letter of recommendation (who is a Tuskegee alumnus) and told me to say hi to her!
Goodluck everyone!
