We all know that Auburn’s campus can be crowded and chaotic at times.

But many people don’t realize that Auburn’s campus is also full of many secluded spots. We’ve compiled a list of some of them, so you’ll know where to escape when you need a little alone time.

The Waterfall

Have you ever noticed the hidden waterfall at the bottom of the stairs by the engineering buildings? Sit on the man-made rocks and enjoy the serenity of the waterfall behind you. This spot also makes for a great photo op!

The Arboretum

Located across from the President’s Mansion, the Arboretum's beautiful scenery makes for a great place to clear your mind and forget about the stress of your week!

Livingston Courtyard 

Who knew The Rec had its own quiet place?! Located on its lower level is the Livingston Courtyard, showcasing an array of beautiful flowers. Whether you’re a mediation pro or not, this place is quite relaxing!

Front Steps of Cater Hall

Want to admire the beauty of Auburn’s campus while avoiding the center of the chaos? Head over to the rocking chairs located on the front steps of Cater Hall. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the view from afar.

The top of the Student Center

Hidden at the top of the Student Center near the ballroom, you will find a door that leads to an open patio. After grabbing your Chick-fil-A or Starbucks, escape the madness and check out this relaxing spot.
