Student review [#43681] for American Studies
at American University - AU

I have never taken a class where I thought the instructor had the necessary credentials, and it is obvious that academics and professors are the primary focus of AU. The campus arboretum supports the excellent teaching, but there are so many other features that I wonder about my school’s overall reputation. The cuisine is horrible and housing on campus is a lottery. Greek life is gone, but the party culture has essentially disappeared. DC is a fantastic playground for individuals over 21, but younger folks may have a hard time blending in. The most egregious transgressions are the responsibility of the internship team and AU administration. Most AU students are offered internships, but they don’t really help you.
