What do you consider the worst thing about American University? Why?

Nicole

The lack of finacial aid and the lack of African American students as well as faculty and staff.

It's tough to go here when you come from a family with money problems. So many kids at American come from wealthy backgrounds and it feels, at times, a bit overwhelming to listen to them talk about their life experiences and places they have been. It is even sometimes hard to explain your disadvantaged financial situation to another student, they just don't get it. Many kids here have never had to worry about money in their entire life.

Alexandra

Because it's small in both physically size and student population numbers in comparison to other schools, sometimes school spririt and activities are not as much as they should be.

Maxwell

The worst thing may be that it may try too hard to compete with similar schools in the area, such as George Washington University and Georgetown, instead of forging its own brand.
