A school to get used to, but in the end a very good institution with endless opportunities for its students. As a Kogod student, I receive emails daily with internship opportunities and panel events. The teachers are all well experienced in their field and in my experience were very helpful in all situations. Groups can be sociable and the party scene can be hard to reach but honestly if you go out and try to talk to people you will probably make some friends as AU students tend to be a little shy . There are many clubs to join, from the Cheese Club to the Financial Management Association, and Greek Life is also a great opportunity to make friends. American is definitely not for everyone as you have to put some effort into finding social events as many students live off campus and a limited athletic scene, but if you put in a little effort you will find your way into the social world and you will have a good time.
