AU or GWU? Which should be my 1st choice?

Funny, but I’m extremely sensitive to cigarette smoke, and D has asthma, but neither of us have ever noticed that the smokers at AU (who would all be outside, of course) are more numerous than at any other school. (I think Emerson and Bard were the schools where I was really struck by the amount of smoking–it kind of went with the self-conscious hipness at both.) An unfortunate number of kids do pick up smoking at school–S, despite being raised in a house where no one smoked and inundated with anti-smoking messages throughout public school, became a smoker at college and took a few years to break the habit–it made me totally crazy to see him light up!
