Lee County, Alabama
At the eastern edge of Alabama, Lee County is where the rolling plains meet college town energy. Auburn, the county seat, is home to Auburn University. It’s one of the state’s biggest attractions and a major driver of the local economy.
With a population of around 180,000, the county is a lively mix of students, families, and retirees. U.S. Highway 280 and Interstate 85 make getting in and out a breeze.
Chewacla State Park, with its trails and waterfalls, is a quick escape into nature just minutes from campus. Bring orange and blue attire if you visit during football season.
