<p>This was a response to a different post, however I thought it was worthy of posting here.</p>
<p>I must correct a previous post about American University. Please look over the campus map. The campus set up like a traditional quad with academic buildings surrounding a lawn and the spiritual center flanking one end and the library at the other. There is not a parking lot in the center of campus, but behind the quad next to the letz/anderson dorms. Other buildings are not haphazard. Some offices and graduate program buildings are adjacent to the quad tucked in some very green space. A large parking lot is across the street from the campus; the arts center is across the street on the other side of the campus. Both are convenient and a quick hop to those areas. American is a gem in that the campus was one of the nicest in a city area. GW is located in an active urban environment and Georgetown is well Gtown. I have a D at American, and she could have gone to plenty of great schools, but because she wanted a city with a campus feel and a political vibe American was it! She will be in an apt. nest fall with a terrific view overlooking the fab +2milneighborhood, tree lined embassy row and the national Cathedral. Add the convenience of a door man (cab please!), quick walk to classes, and roof top pool and I think that’s the way to live in the city…don’t you. My other d is waiting on gtown. I think the campus is ok…the downtown is a draw and of course its rank is exceptional, but she’s public health.</p>
