Parent of a current American student - We have had a very positive experience at American. My son was immediately able to find his “people” and there is an active social scene at AU. There are many types of places to intern in DC, so if she decided to switch to a social science area, there would be plenty to choose from. Another perk of DC is the myriad of FREE things to do which helps with socializing. My son and his friends visit the National Mall, Monuments and Smithsonian’s and AU includes an unlimited Metro pass with tuition so it’s easy to go out and do fun things throughout the city. Please feel free to PM me if you have specific questions. We feel that the undergrad education, experience and opportunities are worth the extra money.
