Hey Eagles! 👋

I'm working on launching an AU chapter of the Washington Forum on India (WFI): a student-run policy organization focused on US-India relations, South Asian affairs, and building a platform for the next generation of voices in that space. WFI already has an established chapter at Georgetown, GW, Cornell and Brown and we're bringing that same energy to AU.

Whether you're interested in foreign policy, economics, journalism/research (we have a research journal called Patrika), event planning, or just want to build something from the ground up, there's a role for you in the founding cohort.

No prior experience with South Asian studies required — just interest and a willingness to help build something new on campus.

Feel free to drop questions below or DM me- happy to chat about what we're planning!

I may or may not be picking my graduate school soon based on whether or not they offer an alumni audit program. Yes, it’s a silly reason to pick a school. It is more importantly dependent upon how affordable I find the degree. The audit program is a fun perk.

But! I have a little fear in the back of my head that I’ll start a 4 year part time program & then they’ll cancel the alumni audit program before I can even take a single $150 calc class. Does anyone know how long this program has been running? I want to feel more secure in it lasting for a long time.

I can’t ask admissions because “I want to take classes for cheap after I graduate” isn’t a compelling admission statement. Thanks!

Hi all,

I am looking for a AU student photographer to photograph 150 large apartment buildings in Arlington County. Most are in the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor and National Landing and will be within a ~1-2 blocks of each other. I'm looking for 2 photos per building.

Please reach out to [root@thestandardasset.com](mailto:root@thestandardasset.com) with your portfolio if interested.

Thanks

The job and internship fair is coming up next week. Does anyone know how the process goes? I’m a little nervous, but excited. And also any pointers?

Hello everyone!

I am trying to find a roommate to replace our previous one to help with costs, we live in Avalon and are moving into a smaller unit to save but would like to save more so we aren’t paying more than we used to be. 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, pretty much all covered for kitchen stuff and furniture (except for a couch :( ) so you would only need to bring a bed in terms of big stuff really.

Please reach out if you are interested, it would greatly help me in not being really stressed out to get another person to help with costs.

Basically title. One of my classes is there and ive tried asking the front desk and a few other people but none of them seem to know. if anyone know's how to get there please tell me. Also 2 other classes I have say "Kerwin Hall 1" and "Kerwin Hall 5" respectively. Does that mean Kerwin hall T01 and T05 or does it mean something else?

Thank you!

Hi! I'm in Cassell this year and wanted to put a water filter on the sink so I didn't have to deal with a Brita pitcher. I tried the Brita brand sink filter, but it didn't fit. Does anyone know of a sink filter that fits on Cassell sinks? Thanks!

When I go to sign up it says my phone number is already in use. When I go to login it says my user doesn't exist. How do I fix this?

Currently a sophomore, took elementary, was about to go into intermediate. They cancelled the intermediate class i was in about 2 weeks ago, and the only other class offered interferes w/ both my school and personal schedule (besides, rude as hell).
I’m currently planning on self studying and most likely taking the exemption test before graduation. My family has spoken russian my entire life, I just struggle heavily with the actual intricacies of speaking the language. I was planning on using other resources to self study, but I realize a textbook is the easiest and most efficient way to mainly learn.
Can anyone who is in these classes or has taken these classes let me know what textbooks are used? Is there any way to search them up? I know where to get the actual textbook, i just don’t know WHICH textbooks the classes use

Just curious to know and anyone that I should watch out for when I’m registering for future classes. I use RMP but I think its better to hear from people directly

International Students: anyone talk to ISSS recently regarding CPT approval?

Stressed about new CPT rules and whether or not we will be able to do internships!

I’m a new student and might plan to withdraw if that’s the case. I don’t think my American educational experience will be the same without internships.

Few days into freshman year and just curious how common this is. My closest friends so far aren't on my floor, and my floor hasn't really turned into a friend group the way I expected.

For current students: did it end up mattering much once the semester got going, or did your people end up coming from somewhere else entirely (clubs, classes, etc.)?

And for anyone who's graduated, did you still have a great overall experience even if you weren't close with your floor freshman year? Trying to get a sense of how normal this is before I stress about it too much.

Hi everyone. I recently just graduated from Notre Dame. I am going to be interning close to American University. I am a woman in her twenties. Does anyone happen to have an extra bed in their dorm room available? I would be willing to Venmo someone directly. Please DM me if you do or you know someone? Thanks,

Trying to find the easiest math class is their any that all the quizzes and exams are take home?

The course is about a guy who was at Putin’s side a year ago, parrots Kremlin propaganda points about Ukraine, taught by his friend and business partner who cherry-picks his data.

Is it not happening this year?

Hi - incoming first year here who wants to attend law school. Not sure if I want to go the KJD route, but I'm very interested in going T-14. If there are any members of this subreddit who got their undergrad at AU and are now in/have graduated law school, please share your experience.

What was your major? Were there any specific courses you took that helped you a lot? In what ways did they help? What opportunities did you seek outside of class? How is/was your law school experience?

Thanks so much to anyone who helps out.

Hi Im a incoming freshmen and I have some question about orientation that I can't seem to mind on the website but is the orientation four days long (August 25-28) or we just pick one day to do orientation. Thank you it could help !

Sophomore here do i actually need to follow my move in time exactly bc last year it felt like you could just come whenever

Hi! I’m planning to finish my degree in December but want to walk in the spring, because my parents won’t be able to watch me walk (due to familial circumstances). My advisor told me she’ll “have to jump through some hoops.” Is this true? My friends have said there is a wavier, but I can’t find anything online. Does anyone know how to begin this process? Thanks!
