<p>The political emphasis at AU is really strong. It seems like half the kids I met who are friends with my son are either studying political science or in the School of International Studies. The whole campus feels very political, and yes, it is very liberal.</p>
<p>Because it is in DC and easy for people to get to, AU is successful at getting a lot of interesting people to speak on campus. Just as an example, Rudy Guiliani will be speaking there later in Oct (I know, he’s not a liberal, but that’s just the next speaker).</p>
