Political Science at AU - Pro's and Cons
I have my degree in political science from the AU. Overall I would say it was a solid experience. Being in Washington is both the biggest draw and the biggest flaw of the school. The positives are that DC is a wonderfully dynamic city with many jobs / internship opportunities, cultural events and restaurants and people from all over the world / country. AU helps you take advantage of it with professors who often work in Washington and connections with good internships. The downside is that politics can consume all of your experience, and the professional vibe appeals more to people in their 20s and 30s than 19-year-olds who want to party and explore. This means that UA itself has little campus pride or spirit, and most people leave campus as soon as possible to experience DC in all its glory.
