American University has a perfect location in a semi-residential part of the safest area in DC; yet with easy metro access, you can get anywhere in the city. The people are friendly and come from so many different backgrounds. There is a large international population as well as students from across the country, so you'll meet a wide variety of people. One negative aspect is the male to female ratio which, last I checked, is something like 35-65. And considering the large gay community at AU, girls may want to make friends with students at some of the guys at DC's other universities. Honestly though, the amazing internship opportunities and variety of study abroad programs at American can't be matched. Also, it is really easy to change your major and/or double major at AU - even between schools - which is great.
