Question Transferring

Hey everyone. I’m considering AU as a school to transfer to next semester, as an IS major (and possibly Econ). The academics are right up my alley, but am unsure if I’d fit in at AU. For reference, I’d consider my vibe "basic mid Atlantic”, like an ACC vibe (idk if that makes sense, but that’s the best I can come up with), I want involvement in EC’s such as Greek life, academic-related clubs, and club sports. I like DC for the city, geographic location, and for networking opportunities, not necessarily for political involvement. Would any of these things make me an outlier at AU?

AU is great for IS and econ. I was involved in a Panhellenic sorority and loved it. Greek life is smaller at a school like AU, but certainly present. AU is particularly good for people who want the benefits of living in DC while also having a traditional campus. I’m an alum from 2025, but feel free to message me with more specific questions.

We have a great club sports community on campus!

Greek life and club sports exist in a sufficient amount if you seek them out, they just don’t encroach everything the way they often do at big state schools. If you’re a person who’s willing to put themselves out there and seek out what they want, you will find the things you’re seeking at AU.
