what do u study
just got accepted in AU and over the last several months i've been trying to research the school as much as possible. this video (and your answers in the comments) have helped so much!
Very informational and well edited. Thanks for the info!
Great summary! I'm from Russia, about to go to AU as an exchange student for a year (if the virus will be gone by September, of course). This really gave a great overall insight! Thank you!
P.S. If you could do a more in-depth vid about the community at AU it would be awesome!
I was an Exchange student at AU (2019-2020) , your video reminds me those great memories in DC & AU🥺 I love your content, and the organisation is doing pretty well in your video!!!! It runs very smoothly.🔥 AMAZING💜
This is the most helpful college video I’ve ever watched haha! Thank you so much!!
Nice video!! I hope i can get to AU or GWU fall 2021...
I just got in to AU and this vid rly helped thx!
Just got my admittance letter today! Don’t know whether to attend AU or JMU.... Still need to tour both
Ayeee I got accepted also. It’s in my top 3 rn.
I got mine too! Definitely considering attending
@@elizabethmutti2548 Me too!
Same here :)
AU has more internship opportunities, it’s more worth it in the long run.
Amazing video Linus! Can't wait to see more content! (SIS is the prettiest building ngl)
Thanks Naomi!! 😁
so excited to start at AU in the fall!! Hope to see you on campus :)
Thank you Linus for your helpful video. My son got accepted at AU and I knew nothing about the school. Thanks for the welcome
I just got accepted! I’m excited and nervous. I’ll be the first one in my family and I’m scared for new chapter of my life but I’m glad that I’ll be attending AU.
Congratulations! We’re excited to have you. You’ll love it here and you can always reach out with any questions/concerns 😁
love this Linus! i’m so glad you made this video bc i would have loved this as a incoming freshman :)
Appreciate it, Supraja! Glad you enjoyed 😁
i committed recently! this video was awesome! i've been trying to watch a bunch of vlogs on youtube to see what life is like on-campus.
great editing! appreciate the video
This video got me even more excited to go to AU this fall !!
So glad you're excited! Let me know if you have any questions/concerns before arriving to campus 😁
I'm wondering how it is like for a student not studying economics, business, political science, communications, international relations, or any other major related to these? I know these are the more popular majors, but what about the other majors like Psychology? Is the programs and opportunity just as good?
I am currently a freshman at AU! Your vids are so cool
Amazing video Linus thank you for the insight into your school
I would love to win that plant
You're officially entered in the raffle ❤️
I am coming in the fall, and am super excited
this is an excellent video! thank you!
I just recently got into American and it’s my top choice as of now but I still have to decide! I’m currently vegetarian/trying to go vegan and I’ve noticed a lot of criticism regarding the dining halls. Are there enough options for someone eating vegan at American? Also, do you agree that the dining halls aren’t the best or are some better than others?
Great video Linus!
Thanks for watching! Hope this video was helpful 👌
I just got into AU and I’m strongly considering attending this fall. I was also considering GWU but I don’t like how disconnected and widespread it is and I like that AU is in a suburban area but you still have easy access to downtown DC. Are there any drawbacks to AU’s smaller size? Also, thanks for the video, it’s really helpful and relieves some stress!!
Congrats, Atef! I went through the same thing and ultimately chose AU because it does feel like a traditional liberal arts campus that is 20 minutes from downtown. Personally, my experience with the city hasn’t been inhibited by AU’s size or location. I commute downtown for an internship once a week and it’s not a problem- I usually can make the trip (including a half mile walk) in just over a half hour. GW is a great school for a lot of the same fields, but for me it was just too urban. I personally appreciate AU’s nature-vibe and honestly, most of the time it doesn’t feel like it’s in the city. I think it’s relaxing to be free of the noise and bustle. Congratulations and good luck with your decision! Remember, whichever school you choose will offer you opportunities and it’s up to you to make what you want of them. Hope this helped and thanks for watching.
@@LinusManchester Its Jamie Davies I live in the UK can I be your friend please I really like your university video Linus Manchester mate.
My daughter is going there in the fall of 2021 great video.
Hey Linus! Thankyou so much for this video, it really helped me get to know the day to day life in AU. I’m still in highschool but i was wondering if you have some recommendations about choosing a major, im interested in business but SIS looks fun too! And also what are the requirements? Do you have any advice?
Would you say you miss having the social aspect of football games and tailgates? I'm still deciding between AU and a few midwest. schools
Just got accepted to AU and im not sure about living on campus yet.. would love to link up and have a fun conversation about it though!
oh my god this energy-
Cool room decorations. I’ll be going to au next fall and hope be that organized lol.
Thanks for watching! Interested in that plant?
Linus Manchester Lol definitely. It’d be a nice touch if I won it lol.
I’m going to AU in the fall too!
I was just accepted and am seriously considering attending Fall 2020! Great video!
Also, do you know anything about the justice, law, and criminology program?
Congratulations, Claire! I have a couple friends in that program, which is in the School of Public Affairs (SPA). It’s one of the top majors and my friends enjoy it. I’ve heard really great things about the professors, many of whom are retired lawyers/legal consultants. Definitely an important topic and I think AU would equip you with the skills to get some great work done. 👍
@@LinusManchester Thank you so much!
@Muna B That's awesome! And no, not data sciences:/ That sounds cool though!
hi! im thinking of applying and I was just wondering if you were comfortable sharing your stats?
Great video! How did you do the transitions?
this was beautiful editing! are you a film major?
I’m thinking of applying here!!!
I was admitted to AU and I'm definitely going to be attending. I'm really excited but I have a couple questions. First of all, how's the food, and how are the dorms? Do a lot of people do the University College program? What are the people like in general? Thanks! This video was super helpful.
Hi Olivia! Saw your comment and thought I could help you out. I'm a freshman at AU right now as well. The food is not everyone's favorite, can't lie. Most students bond over complaining about it. The dorms are really nice in my opinion, especially if you can get placed in Anderson. I personally think Anderson Hall is better than Centennial (the suite-style residence). I was also apart of the University College program which was amazing. It happened to my favorite class that semester. Being in that program also gives you a really high chance of being placed in Anderson Hall because the program keeps the UC cohorts together in the residence halls. Hope this helps!
This is great, thanks! I was just accepted to AU and unfortunately all of the admitted students days were cancelled due to the coronavirus - so I am trying to learn what I can online before deciding.
Congrats, Jack! Hopefully things will clear up soon and you’ll be able to visit a few schools. AU has a beautiful campus and great programs. Hope you consider enrolling for the fall!
Linus Manchester I have a question about the social life at AU. So right now i'm between AU and Pitt (the much cheaper option). I will be a poly sci major so I know AU is the best place for that, especially with its location in DC and abundant internship opportunities. However, the one thing that is holding me back is the social life and social aspects. How could you describe the social life at AU for guys? I know AU is majority women, which is not a bother, but I want to make sure I will still find plenty friends and such. I enjoy discussing politics and stuff like that, but not ALL the time - even I get bored of that after awhile. Anything you could tell would be great!
I am also a bit more of the conservative side (although trending to the other side recently), and I know AU is VERY liberal - at least from what i've heard and seen. That really doesn't bother me like it does other people, but I want to make sure I will still be able to get along with everyone and make good friends that aren't political-based, if you know what I mean.
Jack, I think you’ll fit right in. AU is definitely super politically active but there are absolutely people who are either conservative or not rampantly liberal. I can speak from my experience- I’m a part of a few organizations and have friends in them that I never discuss politics with. It’s not difficult to just relax and enjoy each other’s company. Everything depends on who you surround yourself with, and I promise you can find people at AU that you enjoy spending time with.
Hi! I was accepted into AU for fall 2020! I was also accepted into the Politics, Policy and Law Program and I was wondering if you knew anything about that program! Unfortunately, I wasn't given enough aid to go to AU without taking out loans. Do you think that it is worth going to AU and being over 100k in debt when I have substantial scholarships from other schools? A benefit of the PPL program is that I can receive a masters degree along with my BA in only four years at AU.
Thanks Linus, could you tell more about Community college and Filmmakers course ?
Nice video! 🦅
Thanks for watching, Jake!
Hi Linus! I am a senior applying to AU right now - I am interested equally in both Mathematics and Philosophy. Which do you think is a better route for AU? Basically, which program do you think has the best professors/resources/programs/etc?
Planning on applying to International relations masters. Would love some more information about it? what are job prospects for someone who wants to later work in Canada
Wassup bro, I just got accepted into the school of international service. But I’m having trouble deciding where I want to go for college but American is definitely the best school I’ve gotten into. I have two quick questions 1. What are your favorite and least favorite things about American university.2. How is the overall atmosphere of the campus? Thanks for the video tho.
Congrats, Kai! And great questions. 1. My favorite thing is the people. Everyone is excited to be here and it shows. You’ll meet a lot of people here that you can relate and get along with. Least favorite thing is how expensive it is, but honestly that’s how it is nowadays. I understand they’re having to compete with other universities and unfortunately the effect is a higher tuition. There are benefits to that, of course. 2. Campus is very politically active, but it’s hard to classify the whole of it as anything else. There are a lot of distinct groups here with different vibes- film/theatre kids, business kids, highly politically active kids. So I’d say it depends on who you hang out with. The good news (and the difference between AU and high school) is that these groups aren’t cliquey in my experience. You can belong to multiple, as do many students. Overall, I really like the school and the social life has been a big part of it for me. I’ve found that everyone is motivated academically and by other interests. Hope this helped! Thanks for watching.
Update ?
going to GWU in the fall. any thoughts coming from AU on GW ? i applied to AU Regualr decision but got in early decision for Gw so
I have been accepted into AU as a grad student and would be joining in July 2023.
i love it.
I don't have to apply until next year since I'm still a Junior, but in case the pandemic does not end by then, what is life like on campus and what rules or expectations are there for students to follow?
Hi Linus, I have a question about finances. I got accepted through early decision but I didn't get any financial aid. Is the financial aid a problem for a lot of students, is AU payment plan doable?
Hi! I just received an acceptance as a transfer. Do you have any advice for a transfer student? They said they would only accept 4 of my credits from my current college, so I would have to start as a freshman again. Is it worth it?
AU '24 gang lets gooo
What’s your major? I’m an incoming freshman next fall!
Where did you get your music from, please?
I got accepted to attend AU in January 2021 because they offered me the option of being a part of the Mentorship Program. They didn't really explain why I was offered this option and I don't know if it is either good or bad. Please let me know if you know anything about this program or any recommendation you have. This is one of my top choices and I don't know what to do!
Halo, mr linus. Nice video
Geile Musik👍👌😂 gutes Video
what do you use to animate?
Just got my offer for game major, really excited. I want to rent a single family house in 2b2b near suburban, any suggestions dude?
Cool nice video. What’s TDR like? I’ve heard it can be not good.
Great question!! I'll address it in my next vlog. Subscribe for more! 😀😈
Hello. You know some Community College to study for one year in Washinton dc o Massachusetts? For to American University?
Great video! Question: What’s your favorite place to eat on campus/ how’s the food?
Jei Webb Great question!! We have a ton of dining options but my favorite place to eat is TDR, which is the main dining hall.
aye i'm going to american next yearrrrr
Hey! I got into American University and I got a decent scholarship to go but another university is allowing me to go for only 8k a year for tuition. Do you think AU is worth the money? and how much do they usually offer in fin aid?
Thanks for the question, Brina, and congratulations on your college acceptances!! These choices are always difficult and, as you point out, they unfortunately usually do come down to money. It’s hard to quantify the value of a college education: there’s no baseline by which to judge the price of a school. So in your case, it’s really going to depend on the quality of the respective schools and the tuition discrepancies. Personally, I think AU, like plenty of other schools, is a bit overpriced. The good news is that very few students pay the full tuition. On the other hand, $8k is hard to ignore. I’d look at the specific program you’re applying for. For example, AU’s SIS, SPA, and communications schools are, in my estimation, worth the extra money. But if you’d like to study something that AU isn’t necessarily “known for,” go with the $8k by all means. I wish I could give you a more thorough answer but the truth is, it’s hard to predict how valuable your education is going to be. Spend some time looking at the respective programs that each school offers and decide if one is far and away the better option. Hopefully this helped and thanks for watching!
this video was soo helpful thank uu! do you know if there are many international students at American University?
There are a lot of international students. A lot of my friends (including my roommate) are from other countries. AU does a good job of welcoming international students with a number of int’l-specific services. Here’s a link to the ISSS website: www.american.edu/ocl/isss/
Hope this helps. Thanks for watching, Dani!
I am going to AU in the fall!! But it do be kinda expensive tho. Is it worth it to save money and live in a triple?
I’d look to save money wherever you can. My friends who live in triples have mostly had positive experiences, and the room assignment process is the same as for doubles: they’ll try to match you with people that have similar habits, bed times, etc. As long as you’re ok with not having a lot of space (which basically means you won’t spend a lot of time in your room, which I think personally is a good thing), a triple is definitely a viable option. Thanks for watching! Hope this helped.
Hey Linus! I got into AU and am an incoming freshman this fall, I’m majoring in Political Science and got assigned Leonard Hall. Linus would you say centennial is worth it? I’m considering taking a single there just for the more privatized bathroom.
Hi Ryan, thanks for your comment. I had a great experience in Anderson living in a double with a shared bathroom but I did have friends who lived in Centennial who loved it. If the extra rate isn’t an issue, I’d look into the single with your own bathroom but you might also want to think about the pros/cons of sharing a space as a freshman. Having a roommate can be a good experience as a freshman and it can be especially good early on when you’re trying to meet people in the beginning of school. Either way- both living options are good. It comes down to your personal needs! Hope this helps and congrats on AU.
Nice video! Does anyone happen to know if there some sort of group chat for admitted students or Early decision students for the class of 2024?
Thanks Gaby! There's an Instagram account that most prospective students follow: @auclass2024
They post profiles of new students and can offer other ways to get connected with your future classmates. Thanks for watching!
I hope to transfer very soon ♥
What’s the University College program?
Make a campus tour/ other campuses in DC!
Thanks for the suggestion!! Stay tuned 🤔😁
I got into American for this fall but the only reason I wouldn't go is because of the money. Do you feel AU is worth it, considering how expensive it is?
Thanks for asking such an important question. AU is definitely expensive, even with a good financial aid package.
Something to keep in mind: AU is a top 10 school for International Relations and Public Affairs (as well as a couple other particular majors). If you're going to study one of these majors, AU is a great option. Otherwise, I'd look elsewhere. AU is definitely a niche school but it's excellent for those specific majors.
Hope this is helpful and thanks for watching, Kiara!
Hey Kiara! I also go to AU and, I wanted to let you know that it all depends on who you ask.
There are lots of amazing opportunities and facilities here at AU, even if you're not focused in International Studies or Public Affairs (and Communications is also known for being really prestigious). It all just depends on how you spend your time.
Personally, I am a freshman so I've left myself more free time for this year. I don't have an internship, and I don't know what field I'm going to go in when I graduate, but I do have an on-campus job and I'm involved in a club. However, I really have enjoyed myself so far: I've met lots of like-minded people, I enjoy my classes, I have a close relationship with my advisor, etc.
I'm not gonna lie. It is a LOT of money. I have a scholarship that covers half of my tuition, and I'm still taking out loans. I talk to some of my friends who go to state schools, and they're paying significantly less (and sometimes nothing at all), which definitely makes me jealous. But I don't regret my decision. This is just me. If you think AU is right for you, then I'd say it's worth it.
Hope this helps!
so suave, so cool, so American: Linus
It is a distinct honor and privilege to call you a viewer. Sir, my deepest thanks. ❤️
I got into AU but I’m not sure to go because I’m going to be majoring in biology but AU is very international/politics oriented and I feel like STEM majors will be overlooked. Any advice?
Thanks for watching, Omar! AU is currently building up its STEM program, with Neuroscience emerging as one of the up and coming majors. However, in my experience, the vast majority of AU is focused on non-STEM fields. My advice: if you’ve gotten into other schools where STEM is a bigger focus, consider them. But if you really love AU and maybe are thinking about combining Biology with another topic (like International Relations, Public Health, or Communications), AU can provide you that option. It’s good to enter college with an open mind, and AU can help with that. Good luck with your decision!!
Did you apply ED or regular??
I applied Regular to keep my options open. 👌
what's your major/what do you want to major in?
I'm in the School of International Service (SIS), which means I'm pursuing an International Relations major. It's one of the most popular majors here and prepares students for foreign service and diplomacy. A lot of SIS grads end up working in the Peace Corps, for instance. If you're interested in politics and international affairs, it's definitely a major to consider.
Hope this helped! Thanks for watching :)
Hey. I'm from California and got admitted to AU and I'm considering this school. Can u answer my questions plz? AU says that it is diverse with international students, but how is the African immigrant pop.? Also, I plan to get involved alot on campus and possibly do a double major. Do you think there will be time to do all this and still explore the city and it's resources? Also, how lively is the campus from scale of 1-10? Thank you! I haven't even mentioned Covid-19😓
Hey Nirvana. I’m Linus’s girlfriend and even tho I’m not an African Immigrant, I have had more interactions with the black community on campus than Linus. We’re both freshman so pls understand that this is by no means this is the end all be all. That being said, like 80% of the black students that I’ve met are African immigrants or children of African immigrants. Additionally, there are a few clubs that could allow you to get involved with that community like Africa Legal Conference (ALC) and/or there are some dance groups that I know of too. Actual demographics wise, I honestly couldn’t tell you tho. Concerning workload and exploration in the city, I’m sure once you build a solid schedule you will be able to find time for the things you love. However, I personally warn against trying to do everything in your freshman year. Give yourself time to enjoy the college experience and DC! You’ve worked hard for it so no matter where you go, even if it’s not AU, I wouldn’t rush into a million commitments, you’ll be fine and you can build up over time. Currently, as you know covid-19 has changed a lot for everyone, so it’s a different time. But campus used to be I guess... a 6 (maybe 7) on the liveliness scale? There are always events and it’s most populated in between classes. But it’s still a relatively small campus so there aren’t always things going on. It’s also more populated in the spring and summer when it’s not too cold to hang out on the quad. I’m not sure what you’re looking for, but I hoped this helped! Best wishes and don’t be afraid to reach out on social media @linusmanchester on insta ☺️
@@jeijeiwebb Thanks for answering my questions girl!!😊
