Architecture, local flavor, etc. None of which require school to be in session. 75% of the campus is new construction trying hard to look regal and there is zero local flavor it's completely commercialized.

I have to agree that niether of the alabama schools has any particular uniqueness to their culture...LSU and Ole Miss probably top that category. however, if 75% of the campus is new and build in some kind of classical style, that is a pretty good start. Outside of campus, Auburn is a pretty small town (about the size of Alexandria), so you really can't expect much from the town itself...
