<p>Okay, here’s a thought: If you have something negative to say, say it. If you have something positive to say, say it. Disagree with opinions but don’t attack the poster personally. Of equal, or perhaps greater, importance, if you are attacked, let it go. Forget it. The more we engage in offensive or defensive remarks the less helpful this forum becomes. If we all agreed, we wouldn’t need a forum. But if we snipe at each other, whether offensively or defensively, we also don’t need a forum.
Readers are smart enough to sort through the comments and reach their own conclusions.<br>
Peace?</p>
<p>saranac - wish it could be that simple. It appears there is a lot of attacking on the non-students who voice their opinions and give good advice. It generally comes from disgruntled students and it is difficult for a potential AU student to dicipher the realities of AU. I know on other school threads, I see students put an end to the bashing, but for some reason, it doesn't happen with AU. So comments and the defending of the untruths should be welcomed by HCM and others alike.</p>
<p>Haha when did I become a disgruntled student?? I love my school but there are a lot of problems with it. Before someone spends upwards of 40,000 dollars, I believe their questions should be answered. I've been answering pm questions for a few days now and none of them would be considered "bashing." I'm done talking on here because I've been named disgruntled with my school when the reality is I'm disgruntled with certain posters. Potential students can feel free to message me about anything.</p>
<p>Aupolikid --- sorry to say but you sounded disgrunted when you stated that AU was on the bottom rung which is not the case at all. I hope your not telling prospective students that because it is a very subjective statement. Keep it real. Not sure if you have enough experience at the school to accurately dipict the pros and cons of AU. As far as safety, I have never had an issue --- it is only wise to stay as a group when traveling the metro or take a cab if alone...</p>
