Nlursing, Class of 1982At the time, they were fairly up to date. However, that was years ago. I have not been a student for a long time.

Public Communication, Class of 1999It's been 15 years, so it would be unfair for me to state.

Alumni
B.A. Sociology, Class of 2012AU dorms are well maintained and comfortable to live in. My dorm was particularly nice during my studies as it was renovated right before my freshman year. The dining hall has many options for all different kinds of dietary habits (vegetarian, gluten-free, kosher, etc.). Most classrooms are well equipped for courses, but I did find that several were lacking in technology integration while I was there (ex. Smart Boards, decent projectors, etc.). The campus is extraordinarily beautiful and is a designated arboretum.

B.A. Sociology, Class of 2012AU has a strong culture of community service and social justice. Many students take part in national days of community service and Alternative Breaks. Additionally, AU emphasizes the importance of experiencing the culture of DC, so most students also have at least one or two high-profile internships during their time in Washington.
