Student review [#36921] for Mechanical Engineering
at American University - AU

If you are in Washington DC, there is obviously a lot going on around you and even more career opportunities. The American University is also in a residential area, so you don’t have to deal with the hustle and bustle of a big city. The city center is easily accessible by public transport in a few minutes, but not always so reliable, especially on weekends. There are always great events around town, most of which are free, which is great if you’re drowning in debt because your school costs way too much. Outlying areas, such as American’s location, honestly look like regular suburban neighborhoods with lots of grass, trees, parks, etc., so you never feel trapped as if you were in a big city. All in all, D.C. a fantastic city with lots to do in and around and is really exciting to explore while you’re in college.
