American University is a wonderful school. However, it is very expensive. American University is not known for their sciences, but rather their School of Internatational Services and School of Public Affairs. It is a great school to attend if you know that you want to study in one of these schools, in the School of Communication, economics, history, and other related majors. However, there are students who study science at American University. That said, anyone who is completely undecided may not thrive at American University, since their concentration is towards International Relations and Political Science.

American University is a strongly politically inclined school, so anyone who is easily annoyed by political discussion should not attend. Also, students should be prepared for a good amount of coursework which requires strong self motivation.

People who would struggle at this school socially are females that are boy-crazy. With just below a 35{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} male population, of whom 15{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} are gay, there are not many males to pick from. Someone who cannot handle cold weather would not be able to attend this school. Here, it seems the weather had no limitations! Anyone who is easily intimidated cannot attend this school. With some of the smartest people around the country, intense professors and very wealthy students, other persons may feel sub-par at times which could affect their concentration on the most important thing- their education.
