PRO DEO ET PATRIA, for God & Country.
Jon L.

With a name like The American University, it would seem fitting that it's location is Washington, DC. I had an opportunity to tour the campus with my Son who has been accepted into the Masters Program. He had applied to several schools and been accepted at Drexel in Philly but decided on AU. The university was chartered by an Act of Congress on February 24, 1893 as "The American University," when the bill was approved by President Benjamin Harrison. AU was named the "most politically active school" in the nation in The Princeton Review's annual survey of college students in 2008, 2010, and 2012. Estimated at 12,000 Undergraduate & Graduate students. Part of The Patriot League, it has Division I status. A really nice campus with close proximity to public transporation and less than a mile to Tenley/AU Metro on the Red Line.

What a lovely campus and Dave Detwiler and the Commencement band are amazing and funny!! It was a great joy to get to meet with them and hear how valuable live music is at commencement ceremonies. #naacoConf #naaco

Professors are well-experienced and deserve all the credit for making this a class A institution.

I'm enjoying the classes and their trainers, especially my own. More importantly there are weekly…read moregroup practice sessions in the evenings that can enhance the skills. A lot of positive energy from classmates and management.

My fiance, father, and I went to Arthur Murray yesterday for lessons on dancing at my imminent…read morewedding. This could have been a disaster for many reasons: 1. I'll repeat, it was my fiance, father, and I. Two men and a woman. One of whom is the father of the woman. All of them ballroom dancing! Together. Awkwardness? Methinks inevitable. 2. How do I put this...I am uncoordinated. Not, like, oh-that's-cute-she-occasionally-stumbles-uncoordinated. Like, back-in-high-school-all-my-dance-teachers-talked-to-me-in-very-simple-sentences-because-they-assumed-I-was-intellectually-handicapped uncoordinated. Or like, as-I-type-this, one-of-my-thumbnails-is-bright-red-and-a-toenail-is-black-because-I-am-constantly-mashing-myself-into-things uncoordinated. 3. So are my father and fiance. ...Imagine my radiant thrill, therefore, to report that all 3 of us successfully learned to foxtrot and rumba last night. Our teacher, Sarah, couldn't have been nicer or more funny. The staff was friendly and engaging. The studios were big and clean. Arthur Murray is an international franchise, meaning that there are some corporate-mandated policies that might rub guests the wrong way. Alarm bells enforce strict limits on 45-minute lessons, and I can tell that there's some pressure on employees to sell dance lesson packages. However, I can't begrudge the individuals who worked with us these quirks, since they're clearly beyond their control. Anyone who can teach me to dance in 90 minutes - after 27 years of total ineptitude - is a hero.
