AU is a diverse campus. The proximity to the main attractions of DC is definitely desirable, and the campus itself is located in a beautiful neighborhood.

Typically stereotyped for students wanting to become diplomats, American University offers quality programs in business and political science. While it's main pull comes from the International Studies program, it's location in Washington, D.C. is ideal for many different career paths. The university's location and educational offerings is the perfect combination for a student looking to gain experience both in the classroom and out.

Coming to American University was a great decision. The professors are all accomplished leaders in my field and have a genuine interest in the careers of their students.

it is a very expensive school and city. Quality of classes highly depends on the professors you have. Be ready to write a lot of papers in SIS.

American University is perfect for people who are passionate about an issue, or are looking for something to be passionate about. No matter what it is, how big or small, people here will support you in standing for what you believe in. AU is located so close to the capitol, which calls for a lot of politically motivated people on campus, but there is not pressure to be involved if politics isn't really your thing. People here will help you challenge your opinions, but also help you support them. This is in no way a get-in-your-face campus about issues either. There are often a lot of events on campus and protests, but the atmosphere here is one of the most open-minded I've experienced.

American University has all of the opportunities and benefits of George Washington and Georgetown without the crazy high price tag. It also has the number 1 rate of internships in the country. In a liberal arts college, its important to have job experience and AU gives us that.

It is a great school with a great location, careers services and faculty.

The level of education is excellent. The internship opportunities are wonderful. The tuition is very high.

American Military Univeristy is the best online university available. The flexibility, and ease of use coupled with the professionalism of the staff is paramount. I would not consider attending another online university.

In a great location. However, only worth it if you get a large scholarship. Additionally, the best programs are political science and international studies.
