[Washington, DC and Maryland suburbs]

Take a look at the metro map -- the red line is a U, with Silver Spring very close to one end and Tenleytown (where you get the AU shuttle) close to the other end. That means the route you would have to take on the metro is super indirect - all the way south to come right back up again. If you want a more direct commute, look for something on the same end of the metro as Tenleytown. Bethesda would be the more convenient nearby Maryland suburb.

Thank you.  I'll keep looking.

Hi:

 

What is the commute like from Silver Spring to AU?  Should I look for somewhere closer or is it doable?

Hi.  I'm hoping someone will respond to my question.  I'm an international student and I've been accepted to American U, Indiana U and University at Buffalo to pursue Arts Admin/Mgmt.  I'm torn between Indiana and American.  

 

Can anyone provide some insight into these programs?  

 

Thanks

Thanks for the info esotericish

Pretty much everywhere within the immediate vicinity of American is pretty nice. it's also really expensive. A studio will run you easily $1500-1800 for a decent one. The only really affordable way to live in DC proper, especially NW DC where American is located, is to live with a bunch of other people in a row house.

 

Thanks for your response.  It is really expensive.  After checking around online, apt buildings like Berkshire, Avalon and Greenbriar keep coming up.  Does anyone have any reviews on any of these or can suggest any other apt buildings?  Also, I'm thinking of coming to the US around mid Aug.  Is that a good time to look for an apt or will everything be filled by then?

 

Thanks again

Hi everyone.  I'm an international student who will be starting at American U this Fall.  I'm looking for advice on areas/apt buildings I should check out for housing that's close to the university and safe.  I'm looking for a 1 br or studio.  I do not plan to share.  Also, when would be the ideal time to check out apartments in person?

Thanks in advance for all your suggestions.
