I know you probably already made your decision, but for anyone who is looking back on this: I definitely agree with happy1 and HeyItsNick on this one. I toured both AU and GWU and they are very similar besides the campus. GWU is definitely more urban, compact, and in the heart of DC. AU is more spacious and has that traditional campus feel. The drawback, of course, is that it is likely a longer commute to internships from AU. In reference to the political climate at GWU and AU, they both seem left-leaning, but AU is definitely more outspoken and liberal. Since they do seem to have a similar reputation, I would not focus on that but rather decide which school is more fitting for you.
