We had a chance to talk with Susanne Sturdivant, a Junior in Hotel & Restaurant Management from Greenwood, Mississippi. Susanne transferred from Birmingham Southern College.
What piece of advice do you have for incoming Transfer Students?
My one piece of advice would be to get involved! There are so many wonderful clubs and organizations on campus. Getting involved is a great way to meet new friends, and I guarantee that you will fall in love with Auburn even more.
What is your favorite part of the SOS Day?
My favorite part of the SOS day would be the tour. It is the first time that some students have even seen Auburn’s campus. On the tour, an Auburn student usually yells “War Eagle” as my group passes by, and I always get a comment from one of the SOS students letting me know that they love the friendly atmosphere.
How well did you get to know your group?
I got to know my group extremely well. We are now Facebook friends, and I have already answered many questions regarding Auburn even after the SOS session was over.
What is your favorite thing about Auburn?
My favorite thing about Auburn would have to be the people. After transferring in 2009, I found myself wandering Auburn’s campus completely lost. I had several students direct in the right direction, and one even walked me to the door of my classroom. I couldn’t imagine going to a better school.
