Review of American University

from Burlington, VT

Will learn a lot

AU offers a lot and I am so psyched to start my freshman year! The School of International Service is superb.

Will enjoy being here

The students are friendly and TDR's food is pretty good. Also, the campus is a national arboretum, so there are beautiful gardens and trees everywhere.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

It's really expensive, but I got great financial aid: a huge grant, some small federal grants, and a few loans. I'm still trying to decrease the loan amounts.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Walk around campus and talk with the students. Look at the dorms and try the food to see if you fit in there!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

people interested in international topics, foreign cultures and languages, and living in an awesome city
