[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These are very different school vibes. They're also not the only schools in the DC area.

Georgetown is the most prestigious and the strongest academically. That's not just for IR - it has a medical school, a hospital, and is very respectable across the board although IR is where it shines.

Back in the 70s-90s, GW was a commuter school and had lots of night school classes and practical career-oriented programs. It was and isn't prestigious although its downtown location attracted professors working in their field and so it was a good career school and plenty of succesful people got their start at GWU with internships. It has transformed itself into a school that attracts rich international and first generation kids.

AU is a do-gooder school in an enclosed campus which attracts traditional age kids looking for a campus experience. It has always leaned left. It has solid academics and is most known for its international relations program and its communication school. It is the only one of the schools that does not have a medical school so would hands-down be the worst of all three in sciences, I think. It has an excellent program for kids with LDs/ ADHD. Like GW, it strongly encourages students to take advantage of the city and do internships, which many use to launch a career. [/quote]

AU has been putting a lot of money into science lately. [/quote]
