American University
Hi India! Apologies for not seeing this question earlier but since the semester has started, you are not able to join Cornerstone. There are still opportunities to do internships and study abroad available!

What housing options are available for students?
American University
Hi! We have three first-year residence halls: Anderson, Letts, and Centennial. Two are your traditional hallway-style residence halls while the third is a suite style where two rooms are connected by a jack-and-jill bathroom. You are able to select a preference for which style when you do your housing survey but it is not guaranteed. We have virtual tours of all our residence halls on our housing webpage if you want to see what they look like!

Are there housing options for graduate students?
American University
We do not offer on-campus housing for graduate students; however, I believe there are partnerships with nearby apartment buildings for off-campus housing. We work in undergraduate admissions, so it is not our area of expertise. Graduate admissions should be able to give you more info!
