Campus Visit Notes for American University
Visit Description:
Overall, I had an amazing time visiting American University. The staff was very helpful and friendly. My tour guide was also helpful and even gave me the emails of professors and other students to contact in the area I wanted to study. As soon as I left I wanted to go back. I can't wait to sit in on a class.
