Auburn vs. Alabama?

I’m still deciding where to go, and I’ve narrowed it down to these two. I’m OOS for both but the costs are pretty similar with scholarships. I want to major in exercise science or kinesiology so wondering what school is better for that? They seem similar to me and I haven’t been able to visit so looking for advice!

Well, I’m an Auburn mom but not familiar with your major. I would visit both schools. They both have lovely campuses and very friendly students. Good luck!

My daughter chose Auburn and is majoring in exercise science! Her advisor there suggested a Learning Community (LC) that they offer where you take some Kinesiology classes for freshmen with the same group of 20 kids, so you make friends and can easily study together. Auburn has several Kinesiology focused themed LCs. They aren’t residential programs where you live with those people just take similar classes. And the they offer add on seminars to the LC where they help you prepare for grad school or jobs after college. It seems really cool and appealed to my daughter as she is coming from OOS and liked they idea of a extra way to make friends with similar interests. I was very impressed with the advisor too.
