Where can I park during the Summer Institute?
Parking at American University is $12 per day. However, you will be able to park in the parking lot of Horace Mann Elementary School (4430 Newark Street, NW) and the parking lot of the Metropolitan Memorial United Methodist Church (3401 Nebraska Avenue, NW), just across the street from the AU campus.
We also encourage car pooling and the use of Metro (Red Line-Tenleytown-AU). In addition, it is possible to park at Woodrow Wilson Senior High School (3950 Chesapeake Street, NW, but please enter the parking lot from Nebraska Avenue) and take the AU shuttle, which leave every 10-15 minutes from the Tenleytown Metro station. For the first day, you need to tell the driver that you are a new AU student to access this transportation. You will have AU identification after that.
Where can I eat lunch during the Summer Institute?
For your convenience, there are a variety of establishments on campus, including a McDonald's, Subway, and Mega Bytes Cafe.
