[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While GW embraces its location and the opportunities in DC, my opinion is that AU is a lesser step-sibling. From the Tenleytown campus, it's a 15 minute walk just to get to metro to access the city. The school is having major enrollment and financial issues and has a reputation as a school where full pay kids that didn't get into GW (let alone Georgetown) but want to be in DC attend. [/quote] As another post mentioned, the quality of the students is weak (although the faculty and facilities are good). AU will take many full-pay students.[/quote]

Beautiful

I would say the quality of the students is mixed. There is definitely a fair amount of talented, driven ones but they are offset by the more mediocre, full-pay ones. A kid in either category will have no trouble finding their tribe. Facilities are decent, yes, with recent STEM center a plus, and plenty of Ivy-educated faculty as is typical of all universities in major cities. Nice campus with best of suburban appeal (lovely arboretum) and urban access.[/quote][/quote]
