Tips for new students
The closest airport to
Auburn is Atlanta,
Georgia’s - Hartsfield-Jackson
Inernational
Airport (about 100 miles from
Auburn). It is a busy International airport and is
the most frequently used airport by the people of
Auburn. We would recommend you fly there.
Before getting on
the plane
Do NOT put your I-20
form into your checked luggage. Your I-20 form
and your passport should be with you when you arrive at the customs in the
US airports.
From
ATLANTA Hartsfield
Jackson
Airport

These shuttles run a few times a day and they depart from the "Ground
Transportation" section, right out of the airport terminals. Currently, only
