Never Had a Problem
The campus-wide wireless internet is really great and I'm a big fan of the QuickPrint station in the library. It's also really handy having a small computer lab on the first floor of my dorm. I didn't bring a printer to college this year and I'm having no problems whatsoever relying on the school's printers. I have my own laptop, so I can't really speak to the availability of computers in the library during peak hours, but I do love the Mac labs that AU provides for design software.

Just Be Smart
AU is technically a dry campus meaning that no one, not even those who are over 21, may have alcohol on campus. However, a majority of upperclassmen live off campus anyway, and students who are under 21 would get in trouble on any campus for being in possession of alcohol. That being said, there is definitely alcohol on campus and it's not particularly hard to find it if that's what you're into.
You have to be smart about it though, because RA's will not hesitate to write you up and report you to Student Conduct. First time alcohol offenses aren't the end of the world, but don't get caught a second time because you will be put on academic probation and your parents will be notified. Wuh-oh.

Switching Schools/Majors Is Easy
When I applied to AU I applied to the School of International Service, but once you get on campus as a freshman there's a lot of flexibility when it comes to switching schools and majors. An advisor in your school is assigned to you when you enroll and they can be a useful resource if you take advantage of their office hours.
