hey.

im a transfer student. i got accepted to AU as well as Syracuse University. I am in my 2nd semester rt now. In SU, 72 credits got transfered including from my high school, so if i go there, i'll graduate in 3 semesters. I'll have to pay around 60K for that.
I'll have to pay the same amount in AU but for 3 years.
I am plannin to major in Political Science/International Relations. I want to make the best out of the college life and earn experiences through internships and more.

I am having difficulty in choosing between the 2 colleges..in 1 i'll graduate in less time and hav more opportunities for internships. in another theres more to offer for the major.

i need ur help guys.

I'm only an incoming freshman, but I think American has better surroundings for what you want to do...especially if it ends up to be the same price.

I agree with JessieLou. There is no need for you to rush through college, and American will give you many opportunities in a great city.

its just that i can graduate early frm syracuse.. i can actually do internships after that rt? syracuse is a pretty gd school, and their maxwell school is very good. suppose i don't get to do any internships at syracuse coz of limited time..does that mean i'll have -ve impacts on resumer..
can u like explain how is it like in AU.. i mean if i study there..i'll have the chance to do internships in junior yr or make connections like that..
wats a typical college progress is for an AU international relations major student?

AU is very big on students doing internships. I believe the number they give out is that 60% or more do at least one internship while there. I think a lot of students do them during the school year. There are very few classes scheduled on Wednesday, so that that is a common day for people to be gone for internships. Also, can't beat D.C. for IR, poly sci exposure, opportunities.
