I have had friends that are freshmen intern at the Pentagon. We have lots of alum in lots of different places, so finding an internship or part time job is really easy. Study abroad programs are great and if you plan carefully you can complete your major requirements while you are gone. That said, AU is a great school for international studies/business/economics. NOT for voice, acting, theater, or any sort of hard sciences. Premed program is okay, not the best, but you get a lot of hands on experience. There is not a lot of leadership in fields that are rare or uncommon for undergrads. SIS is AMAZING, of course they need the new building but the program is really good.The professors are all very approachable, and seem genuinely concerned with getting students to pass and actually understand the principles of their fields. I wasn't a fan of the gen-ed program- so take APs before you go and get it out of the way. But professors are so helpful and are such a good resource for experience and knowledge about their particular subject.The student health center is definetly the weakest point on campus. Its never open and 95% of the time they either diagnose you as pregnant or having bronchitis (that is, if you ever get an appointment). The strongest point is probably the actual courses and the library, which is open 24 hours on weekdays, sunday nights, and exam weeks, and the librarians are super helpful (free red bull and cookies during exams?!!).Kids on campus are kind of nerds. Don't come to this campus if you want to party hard. People think they're hard core if they go out to a bar on a Tuesday night. And everyone else on campus agrees with them. Yeah you will get some power nerds in your classes, and you have to adjust to AU goggles when it comes to attractiveness, but these people know what they're talking about. Mostly everyone is very smart and those who aren't transfer out.Your courseload the first year or so will seem rediculous. There will be a lot of busy work and bullshit that you have to get through before you get to the serious classes. Then you get slammed because you think it will be easy. Most classes 200+ levels WILL require high performance from you.All that said, the best part about AU is how it is in DC and if students learn to take that to their advantage, they can go far. |
