350 characters is not enough to describe how truly awful AU is. The administration treats you like children. The student body totes the worst "holier than thou" attitude I have ever seen, and if you try to criticize the school the only response you get is "if you don't like it then leave." The political science profs are pretty great though.

Awful school, Awful administration, they are all power and money hungry. Decent professors. Overall, I was unhappy with my decision to attend AU. Too many rules, this campus is stuck in a completely different decade, and doesn't give the students any freedom. AVOID THIS UNIVERSITY!

I feel like I never left high school. Everything is set up for you, what classes you need to take every semester, very little choice to that matter. Dorm bathrooms loose hot water for about 2 weeks at a time. Internet connection is slow. Christianity and religion is worked into every class. Came here based on money and it was a terrible choice.
Overall 1.5
School is okay, administration is really bad at their job. Brent Baker and Tim Johnson should be forced to retire. they are biggets, hypocrites and they black-male students as disciplinarians. Anderson University is a poorly run institution, mismanagement of funds, tuition is high, and overpriced. Overall, Anderson is more of a cost run univers

I love the people I met here, and the professors are amazing. With that being said, the schools administration is destroying this university with their constant need to control what students do both on and off campus. Had I known what I know now about AU three years ago, I probably would have chosen a different school. Pistole has some work to do.
