Open an account in a well known American bank to be able to find some automatic cashiers everywhere in the US, because there is a fee each time you cash out from another bank than yours!

“Catholic University of America was not listed”
Andrew R
United States, Undergraduate
Marketing and Sales Management, 2019
Overall
I go to the Catholic University of America and I selected American because my school was not listed. CUA is a great school that set me up with a strong study abroad program in Paris, France. After three months of studying in France, I was able to speak fluently with my host family and other native speakers in Paris. I am now an IES ambassador for my school and a double major in International Business and French.

“World Class Instructors and Students”
John C
United States, Graduate
Business Studies, 2000
Overall
More often than not you will be taking classes with other students who are congressional aides or established professionals in any number of regional tech companies from the Dulles corridor.
Many professors have ties to the local business community as well. So, they bring both real world experience as well as their research knowledge. AU is definitely one of those best kept secrets in DC.
