"The facilities at American are really beautiful. Most of my professors were pretty helpful. I didn't like how easily my essays were graded. I feel like everyone got at least a B just for completing the assignments, which is kind of disturbing for graduate school."

"I am currently enrolled as a graduate student at American University. I am working toward a masters degree in film and video. Overall I would rate the experience very high. The pros of the program are numerous and can be very helpful to someone looking for a career in the communications field. First American University has one of the top communications programs in the country, and especially on the East Coast. Secondly there are so many resources afforded to you by the university. There is always equipment available, computers with the latest software, and knowledgeable professors. Finally American is located in Washington D.C. which provides students with so many opportunities for get real world experience. There are some drawbacks to the program. Like most universities or really anything in life the experience is what you make of it. While classes are relatively small, it is still possible to be lost in the numbers if you do not assert yourself. Also expenses can become a factor. The tuition is not cheap and all those amenities and equipment come from somewhere. Sometimes you can get the feeling from professors and some students that you should have nothing else going in life. That there should be no work, no family, but still have infinite funds to do all these projects and trips."
