Inn near American University :: Just Minutes from AU

Washington DC is a beautiful, cosmopolitan city that attracts residents and visitors from around the globe. Everyone knows DC for a couple of obvious reasons:

Capital of the United States
Seat of international political power and influence
Location of iconic government buildings, memorials and museums

But not everyone knows that DC is the home of several of the finest universities in the United States, a list that includes our neighbor, American University, more commonly known as AU.

American University embodies many of the qualities that make Washington DC so special. The students and the programs of study reflect the global involvement and influence of the city and the university. The prestigious School of International Service is well-known for attracting future leaders in global development, foreign policy, and international civil service. But there are other ways to influence the world as well, including Theater and Performing Arts, Business and Real Estate, Journalism, Law, Political Communication (very DC!), Film and Video, Language and Area Studies, Religious Studies, and Peace and Conflict Resolution. (We’re especially in favor of peace and conflict resolution!)
