Review of American University

from Wilton, CT

Describe your college in three sentences.

Wonderful campus, international student body and engaged and engaging professors have made this a fabulous experience so far. I have had the opportunity to create my own major within the School of Public Affairs. As a student in the Honors Program, classes are small, which has given me an opportunity to get to know my professors and vice versa.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Get involved and engage with your fellow students and professors.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

As a student in the Honors Program, my classes to date have been quite rigorous.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Most dorms are updated and pretty comfortable.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Good food overall and a wide range of choices.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

Washington D.C. has so much to do, from monuments and museums to classic films and concerts! It's great city: vibrant and diverse yet manageable.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are probably more students involved in Greek life than the number quoted by the university but it is not overwhelming; you don't have to be go Greek to have a great social life!
