[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a parent of a college freshman.  My husband went to Georgetown for grad school and we lived in DC suburbs for 8 years.  We are Pitt undergrads.

I agree with the upthread characterizations of GW vs. AU.  They both used to be more hometown schools for DMV kids...but provide access into the DC job market.  There are many professions where that applies...pre-law, politics, and int'l relations among them.

I don't think either school stands out from the pack of good options. unless Washington is a preferred locale for college or post-college jobs.  That might be the case, but it seems your search is still broad.

I would recommend that you also look at Pitt (similar to GW in many ways) and Syracuse while you are looking at GW and American.  Simply because I think they check some similar boxes.

Broadly speaking, there is also some DCUM crossover with the University of Rochester and this type of school.

I'm sure American offers a good education but it is currently having some financial issues.  That precedes the issues the Trump Administration has caused with all the big R1 universities.

Actually in the current environment AU seems to be having fewer financial issues than others. [/quote]
