I have a lot of family that went to Auburn, and yes, it is a very cool school.
My older brother and sister both went to Tech, also very cool, though a little too big for my taste.
I went to James Madison. Excellent school, beautiful campus, tons of hot chicks, lots of great parties, and abundant, reasonably-priced off-campus housing.
I lived in the dorms my first two years, and I did meet lots of great people that way, but living off-campus is definitely more fun.

btw, JMU's College of Integrated Science and Technology is a great place for those interested in a Computer Science degree.
