!!!!!!!!!!!!!HOUSING UPDATE: Auburn Housing will let upperclassmen live in Aubie, Harper, Hollifield, and South Donahue next year! Thank you to all who helped make this happen!!!!!! WAR EAGLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are calling for On-campus Housing options for upperclassmen in at least one dorm in the following areas: the Hill, the Quad, and the Village (
non -Greek Hall). This will allow upperclassmen to live on-campus in locations suitable to their own financial situations for the school year 2016-2017.
Auburn Housing is not allowing non-freshmen to live on campus next year. The only exceptions are people in South Donahue and sorority dorms. This action plan marginalizes upper-classmen of a lower socioeconomic status who cannot afford to live in South Donahue ($10,900 per year) or are not members of a sorority. The residents were just recently informed of this decision (if informed at all) and are struggling to find off-campus housing options as many leases are already taken. Furthermore, students (junior standing), who are National Merit Scholars are unable to get their housing compensation because their scholarship covers the Quad dorm price level, not the South Donahue dorm price level. See more information about the housing change at http://www.auburn.edu/administration/housing/renew...
Auburn Housing waited until February 1st to inform students about these changes. The Housing application for the limited spots in South Donahue is only open February 15th-16th. This is too late of a notice for Auburn students to make houisng decisions.
IMPORTANT: you (and your parents!) need to talk to the President and Provost to stop the new housing plan!
Email your concerns to the Univerity President, Dr. Gogue, - [email protected]

The administration is finally listening because of the pressure you built. Send an email to the housing director today to confirm these changes are permanent for all students.

We need to hit one hundred signatures to prove to the housing office that we are a mobilized block of students. Text the link to three friends who need affordable housing options right now. Post the petition to your Facebook page so the administration knows we are not backing down.

A plan that affects such a large amount of people must be presented much sooner than this. Housing in Auburn is far too scarce to expect thousands of students to find a place to stay for the next year.
I was an RA on campus for two years and personally believe that the upperclassmen are good for the dorm environment. Freshman only listen to us a little bit and actually get most of their life advice from the upperclassmen living there.
I planned to live in the Village for all four years. Now I will sign up for the wait list for South Donahue, but chances are very low that I will be able to get in—even if I do, it is thousands of dollars more. This is ridiculous, Auburn...
I am a senior living in the Quad on a four-year National Merit housing scholarship. Upperclassmen should be allowed to live on campus an be part of the dorm community, especially if they were already promised four years of housing.
Housing is going to go up $2000 a semester from the Upper Quad!!! Not only that, but with limited housing, this could be disastrous for seniors with just two semesters left. One of my friends had to transfer from Auburn to UAH because he couldn't get housing.
I am making a good salary from home $4580-$5240/week , which is amazing under a year ago I was jobless in a horrible economy. I thank God every day I was blessed with these instructions and now its my duty to pay it forward and share it with Everyone, . Follow Here ……..…Www.PayAtHome1.Com

I am very concerned about housing for my son for the 2016-17 school year. It was our understanding that priority would be given to current students over incoming students, as it should. This new plan is unfair to the students that like the conveniences of living on campus. Please reconsider.
