AU is a GREAT school. I am currently a psychology student and have always been impressed by my professors! They are all well established, published and interesting. Everyone shows their personality through their teaching and I think it is fantastic that the au gives them the freedom to train their courses based on what they think that their students can be the best service.I like that the school is different and that everyone I meet comes from a different background. The best thing about American University is its academics. The campus is very refreshing even in a big city – you can experience a big city in 10 minutes while living in a more “suburban” and safe area.
