• There are two campuses of Auburn University. The first campus is Auburn University in Auburn City. The second campus is Auburn University at Montgomery. Facilities are available at both campuses. There is a large library. Medical facilities are also available on campus. There is a recreation centre and a large gym.
• During the fall semester, the campus is always crowded because, in Auburn, it is considered football season. So, many events are organised. Regarding Indian events, every major Indian festival is celebrated, such as Holi and Diwali.
• There is an Indian Student Association. Every country has its own student organisation, like the Indian Student Organisation, African Student Organisation, or Pakistani Student Organisation.

• For undergraduate students, there are very few on-campus housing options available, but for graduate students like me, only off-campus options exist. For accommodation, there are various Facebook groups and other social media platforms, as well as numerous real estate companies that rent out places.
• The average rent ranges from $400 to $600. My apartment, which has one bedroom and one bathroom, costs $550 in rent. Water is included, but I have to pay for electricity. Living alone, electricity typically costs between $70 and $100. Groceries and other miscellaneous expenses usually total between $200 and $300. For future students, I recommend joining urban housing groups.
• There are many Facebook groups where leasing or subleasing listings are regularly posted, making it easy to find accommodation. Personally, my place is very close to campus—just a 2-minute walk to the library and a 5-minute walk to my department. There are no challenges except if you find accommodation at the very last moment, you may end up getting a house that is very expensive rent-wise.

I took a private sharing accommodation. I paid around $375/month for a 2-bedroom apartment shared with one person. The total rent is $750. On average, for a 2 bedroom or 3 bedroom shared accommodation, students may have to pay around 500 - 550 dollars including rent, wifi, water, and electricity.

Positives: They have good programs for machine learning and data science. There are a good amount of professors who work on various research. It's great to coordinate with them. Other than computer science, we can take courses in mathematics, statistics, or computer engineering. All are of great quality. Good funding options. They have a decent career fair option. Atlanta (a nearby city) has a lot of software companies. Auburn has a lot of computer science and AI clubs. This could help a student to improve his skills.

It was close to home. Also, their nursing program had great reviews and it was new. I wanted to be near home but far enough to enjoy the college experience. I'm able to visit my family every other weekend.
