Not bad...for my backup

Rating: 3/5 (71 ratings)
Introduction
I chose AU because I was waitlisted to Vanderbilt. I didn't want to go originally, but learned to enjoy it. If you want to have a social life, you gotta pretty much go greek or get on a sports team.

Campus Life and Social Life
There are always club nights, but they get expensive. It's easy to find a frat party at least 2-3 times a week...but don't try to drink/smoke in the dorms with more than 5 people - - you'll get caught.

Academics
Professors are good, but TAs suck. Great Communications School.

Student Body
Typical student is from Jersey. Some students are chill and into 420, etc, while others are nerdy and into student government. It's a liberal arts school and it's obvious. The closest thing to a jock on our campus are the wrestlers.

In Closing...
It's worth a shot.
