I am completely enamored with this school. The entire student body is driven, inclusive, and highly intelligent. The decision to attend American University is not made haphazardly. Its close proximity to Washington DC, making it one of the most strategically located schools after Georgetown, means it’s just a short train ride away. The campus is well-maintained, with mostly attractive buildings, although there are a few that are less appealing. Additionally, there are numerous excellent food options available. The wide range of clubs and organizations to join is remarkable. It is undeniably a school filled with immense passion.

I usually set the bar low when venturing into new things because I’ve found that if you expect the worse, you can never be disappointed. I was the opposite of disappointed when i first set foot into the faculty. The design, the curriculum, the staff. I was overwhelmed for the better. I’m in my second year now and the only thing I will say is come and experience it for yourself.

I’m having a wonderful time at American University. I love that I can get to a big city and still feel like a traditional campus. Sincerely, it is a school that may require some adjusting to, but in the end, it is a very good school with numerous opportunities for its students. The atmosphere in AU is so great that it pushes you in a positive way and offers every opportunity you could want.

I think it’s good professionally. I am an IR who is a hot main. All the professors I’ve met have a “teach-it-yourself” attitude, which is really frustrating when I’m paying so much money to go to this school. I didn’t really like or develop a strong connection with any of my professors, even after visiting during their office hours. The workload does not seem to be commensurate with what is being taught in the classroom. I have at least 4 hours of reading time per week for each class. I’m really passionate about the subject, but I don’t like teaching all the material myself.
