Student review [#36950] for Biochemistry
at American University - AU

If I could I would do it again. Despite some shortcomings, AU is a great school in a great location. The faculty can be absolutely amazing in their knowledge and helpfulness. I made some long-time friends at AU. I’ve made mistakes here and have some crazy stories to take home. I feel I learn a lot from the accounting program and also quite satisfied with the employment center and the employer connections that AU offers

General disadvantages:
-Some older buildings are in need of renovation. I’m looking at your Bender library. – The dorms are cramped and overpriced
-The lunch on campus leaves a lot to be desired.
-Some general education courses are taught by graduate students who have just read the powerpoint.
