-Although it is so close to the city, it takes forever to get downtown (45 minutes if you're lucky.)
  • The campus floods a little when it rains.
  • Food service 2Fix (the repairshop on campus) workers are slow and everything takes a long time.

    responseWhile I don't agree with the bulk of your review, I know people do have different experiences at AU. The only thing I feel needs to be addressed in your review is the statement that it takes 45 minutes to get downtown. This may be true if you rely solely on the metro and don't take the time to look at other transportation options. The "N" bus line runs past campus and can get you to downtown in 20 minutes in lite traffic or 30 minutes in rush hour. It is by no means isolated.
