A world-class academic environment in a quiet corner of the nation’s capital

Private Suburban Eagles AU Historic Public Transportation Metro

Since its establishment in 1893, American University has been a major fixture among the Washington academic community. Fitting for its DC setting, American University is well-known for its politically active student body, and the School of International Service is one of the top-ranked in the world. In addition to the superb academic climate, AU serves as a key player in Washington’s cultural scene: the university’s Katzen Arts Center is one of the area’s best gallery spaces, frequently exhibiting provocative and politically-themed works.

The American University campus in Northwest DC’s Tenleytown neighborhood provides a quiet local environment within reach of the area’s most exciting hotspots. The Archbold Parkway sits a couple of blocks to the east, providing a big, beautiful greenspace that’s perfect for bike rides, running, or just relaxing in the sun. The charming suburban neighborhoods surrounding the university are full of great houses within easy walking distance of the main campus—the most affordable rentals nearby can found near Wisconsin Avenue in Cathedral Heights and McLean Gardens.

Living near AU puts you just fifteen minutes from Downtown via the DC Metro; With a Red Line station just north of the College of Law, you can easily take advantage of the countless attractions and resources of the nation’s capital anytime you want.
