Tell me if this impression is true or not?

I get the feeling that American is a friendlier, more tolerant and less stuck up place than GWU. I also get the impression that a high percentage of GWU students are rather spoiled and arrogant, while American students are more down to earth. I also get the impression that GWU’s administration has more of a corporate mentality and is more interested in building an empire, with huge research budgets and large fancy buildings.

One thing that struck me was that GWU recently tried to get HALF of their engineering professors to leave so they could replace them with people who would bring in more research dollars.
