Ask Foy

Ask Foy, or the Foy Information Line, is a telephone and walk-in information service provided by Auburn University and hosted in the Foy Student Union. The service has been in continuous operation, twenty-four hours a day, since the 1950s.cite web |url=http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/21983239/ |title=5 phone numbers that will change your life |accessdate=2008-04-28 |date=2007-11-27 |publisher=MSNBC/Today] The Ask Foy service was initially designed as a resource for Auburn students, who were looking for course information, grades, or campus services, but now accepts calls from the general public. The operators are Auburn University students, and the free service attempts to answer any questions asked by a caller or visitor.
