Vaulter78 - some additional info. Companies/organizations do post positions with AU as my daughter has told me that she has heard about opportunities that were posted, I believe by the career center. Additionally, student organizations are informed about job/internship openings and post them for their members. One TA, for a class my D took last semester, e-mailed the class about a summer internship in DC directly corresponding to the class subject. My D applied and although she was not ultimately selected, the company said they only interviewed 7 or the 42 applicants and my D was one of them. They told her that if she reapplied for the fall she would be a top contender. I believe companies and organizations do respect AU students. Do they prefer other schools? I don’t know but I think a lot depends on the applicant as well. Politics is very big at AU and there is also a lot of opportunity for networking.
