<p>Oh, look, American University has a web site!</p>

<p>Sarcasm aside, I’ll admit that American has a really terrible web site. But this was one of those rare cases when the information was actually very easy to find.</p>

<p>LOL. good one Sikorsky! Agree that it’s a remedial website at best. You have to piece together total college costs by adding different sums from different pages of room and board, and tuition, and fees. Very clunky. And if it IS together somewhere, I coudln’t find it so it’s not at all intuitive. Maybe same guys that built the affordable care act site. Ha.</p>
