Located in a beautiful residential area of Washington DC, one of the primary strengths of AU is that it is in the nation’s capital. Because of its location, AU can offer its students great internships, one of the best career services in the country and a classroom that extends to capital hill. Its not unusual for a student to have a class assignment that requires students to go to Congress and listen to hearings regarding various issues. Furthermore, because of its location, AU is able to attract strong speakers to campus. Not surprisingly students at AU tend to be politically active. Its also a diverse student body with representation throughout the country and world. What might be surprising about AU is that although a city school, it has a gorgeous 89 acre campus and is designated a national aborteum. It was also ranked 13th for “Best Quality of Life” in by Princeton Review in 2009. AU is a mid-sized test optional school with 5 colleges within the universtiy (arts & sciences, business schools, communications, international service and public affairs). At AU students are described as active learners, passionately involved and contributing to their communities.
