 " AU was my first choice university, and I was so grateful to have been accepted. The campus is beautiful, and its facilities are all up to date and clean. The campus is very green and is also carbon neutral. The dorms could use updating but that can be said of most universities. The staff/professors are all incredible- very qualified in their respective areas of study. The staff and professors really care about students well being and it is a very positive place to attend university. "

 " Nice campus, but somewhat toxic environment. Some buildings and labs are gorgeous but some others are a disgrace. Food is okay, but expensive and not too many options available. Overall it's an okay experience. "

 " My major specifically includes a 2 week intensive course that can be taken in either the winter or between spring and summer classes - the course is 8 hours a day for 14 days in a row and it is really expensive - not built in to semester costs and financial aid can't be used for it. The course is a nightmare to try and take for anyone who works full time, which is ridiculous considering that they advertised the graduate programs to prospective students as having full time working professionals in mind.

 " Solid school, and you meet a lot of people who are interested in the same things. DC is great for internships and career growth in particular. I'd also say that profs often work in dc while teaching and are knowledgeable. "
