Best Suggestions For Auburn University First Timers
After checking into your hotel room and dropping off your belongings, you can venture out to explore Auburn University or the downtown area. These are some of the best things to do for those who are visiting Auburn University for the first time.
You can’t leave Auburn without a visit to Toomer’s Corner at the corner of Magnolia Avenue and College Street. It’s been on this corner since 1896, and it serves some of the best lemonade in the area. When visiting Toomer’s Drugs, you might notice the toilet paper hanging from all of the trees on the corner. If so, you’ve witnessed the aftermath of a long tradition of “Rolling Toomer’s Corner” following an Auburn Tigers’ win.
If you are looking for a chill spot to relax on a beautiful sunny day, consider having lunch on Samford Lawn. This is one of the best places that shows off some of the history and charm you will find throughout Auburn University. You get a glimpse of student life if you are here during the school year. Plenty of people will be spread out, lounging, eating food, or throwing a frisbee.
Are you visiting on a weekend? Do you like football? Then an obvious place to be is at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Even if you aren’t a fan of football, Auburn’s sports play a big role in the university’s identity. So it pays to familiarize yourself with some of the team’s traditions like the Tiger Walk, War Eagle, “Swag Surfin,” tailgating in the White Tents, and Rolling Toomer’s Corner.
If you are here during the winter, be sure to visit Neville Arena on game day. Basketball is another popular sport at the university with its own traditions. Enjoy the pre-game music and don’t leave the game without eating a pretzel.
