Student review [#37304] for Architecture and Civil Engineering
at American University - AU

Advantages :
– Great teachers
– An amazing education
– Close to downtown DC (but takes longer than you think to get downtown)
– Most freshman dorms are nice and newly renovated
– Politics (I think for some it might be a scam but I really like it about AU)
– People are nice
– Very safe environment

Disadvantages:
– It takes nearly an hour to get to downtown DC by public transit
– AU only deals with students on the surface
– VERY stressful school, lots of work
– Little sense of community
– Bad food
– Not many AU-sponsored student events, not much to do on campus
– DEAR
