American University Edit Meaning

1.

A college in North-West Washington, DC. Known for its excessive political vibe. Students here like to:

1.) Go to TDR and complain how much they hate it, yet continue to go there.

2.) Drunkenly order food from Cafe Romeo's, any chinese food (for some reason all the chinese food in DC tastes the same), or if it's a weekday go to the Eagles Nest (Which is always blaring the best music with its workers and customers dancing).

3.) Complain about how much they hate the library.

4.)Girls like to complain about how all the good guys are gay.

5.) Guys like to complain about how all the girls are ugly.

6.) Smoke shit loads of cigarettes in LA quad.

7.) Talk endlessly about shit that doesn't matter, while alienating people that have no interest in their conversation.

8.) Live in the berks, which is like the dorms, except the dorms are nicer.

"AU... it's uh... like no other."

2.

For those in the know, AU is THE University to find a girl in the DC area worth dating. While Georgetown students are busy popping their pink collars, GW students are busy paying for an overpriced education, and Catholic students are busy being Catholic, American University is an absolute goldmine for intelligent girls (or men, if you swing that way). For people that actually want to make a difference and not just ride Daddy's coattails to a soul-sucking Legal/Medical profession, AU is where it's at.

G-town girl in a bar: "I'm drinkish beer wit' a straw. You're cute!"

Me:"I can't wait for the American University girls to show up."

(Honestly, I wish I could claim that I was making this up.)

3.

A college of about 6,000 undergrads in NW Washington, DC. American is consistently ranked in the Top 100 Colleges in the United States (currently #85 by U.S. News & World Report). It has students from all 50 states and 140 countries. Besides George Washington University it is the only university in America chartered by an act of Congress. You won't get your typical "college" experience here, as many students are off campus and involved in outside jobs, internships, etc. in the District of Columbia. American sports a small, though charming and beautiful, campus. Some of the students can be stuck up and talk about how they "got into Harvard, Georgetown, and Columbia, but got a full ride at AU", but overall most of the kids are down to Earth and friendly. Most everyone's politically active/knowledgable, and campus life is generally stimulating. It's a dry campus though, and the RA's/Campus Security can get God-complexes sometimes, so take a shuttle/10 minute walk to the metro and go to Adams Morgan or Georgetown on weekends. Generally though a pretty chill place to go to school.

"Dude did you know Goldie Hawn lost her virginity at American University?"

"Wait, what?!"

"Why does AU campus security have segways now?"

"I dunno, but I mean they're already packing it on, what good is obese security?"

Basically it's a school full of people that say the same things:

"I got into Harvard, Yale, Penn, insert any other much better school...But I got a free ride @ AU." - it seems no one pays for education at AU. EVERYONE got a full scholarship.

"I'm really rich. insert name slept with me cuz i shop at Saks like everyday" OR "I was really, really rich, but um, I was disowned, stock market trouble, insert any financial disaster

Let's face it...AU is not Gtown, it's not GW, it's not College Park (which actually has decent frats and frat houses). I don't even think it's better than Catholic. Their campus looks like it was built by the Soviet Union and the students are all bitter about being there.

AU GUY: Yeah so my parents invented the Internet and own Coca Cola.

AU GUY #2: Awesome. I got into like Harvard, P-ton, D-mouth, and Stanford.

AU GIRL: Omg same! Do you wanna go smoke some cigarettes, head back to our shitty dorms, and have lots of sex? All the guys at Gtown, GW, and Maryland said I'm too much a dirty skank whore.
