College Overview: Georgetown

Georgetown: If it's your taste, it's PERFECT
If you're looking for an easy place with a constant keg stand kind of party, Gtown isn't your school. However, I like to party.... a lot, but responsibly... I also do really enjoy learning from unbelievably intellegent (and VERY accessible!) professors (never TAs) but also a lot of learning via communication with everyone here. It amazes me how I can have an incredibly intellectual and rewarding conversation with my friends and some strangers at a coffee shop on campus, but then go right to talk...

Georgetown: So You Want To Go To Georgetown?
Ah, spring of senior year. When a young man's fancy frightfully turns to thoughts of making it in the real world. Where to begin? Georgetown's early acceptance was not "early decision," which is great if you're in high school. I already had applications into other schools, and it was a relief to be able to apply early like everyone else. Why that was a relief I have no idea now; procrastination is a virtue learned with time, I suppose. In any case I am not catholic, not religio...

Georgetown: The U.S. Isn't Alone?
I’m from southern California, I am a sophomore. I am a sociology major with a theater minor. I love Georgetown. I think it’s about, people that are here really make the campus, your friends that you make, really have a huge impact on your experience here. I want to go abroad my junior year, so that’s like a big part of Georgetown. They really stress that aspect. In the college you have to take at least four semesters or two intensive semesters of a foreign language, but to go abroad we hav...

Georgetown: Across the Pond
I’m a freshman in the college. I’m an undecided major, probably philosophy or English. I’m from London, England. The students that are from overseas are largely part of a little overseas clique here at Georgetown, most of them live in that building over there. The biggest thing that I like about Georgetown is its size. The fact that it’s a small liberal arts college. I feel as though you can’t really enjoy a place until you fully involve yourself in it. There’s a lot of potential...

Georgetown: Not in Wisconsin Anymore
DC is like culture shock out here compared to life back in Wisconsin.The east coast preppiness, that’s something you don’t get in Wisconsin. You never see with a popped collar back home or any of that. Where as out here you see it all the time. It’s just something different. Personally I don’t think DC’s scary especially campus, I don’t think it’s scary. If you go out into the city late night, especially different parts of the city that can be scary. As long as you know where to go...

Georgetown: Diverse and Friendly
The whole Jesuit ideology of trying to educate the whole person really appeals to me. It was a liberal arts school, which I also liked.The campus is really small but it’s a really pretty campus, so I was impressed. Georgetown is a very driven campus, but people also know how to relax, so it’s not like you feel like you’re in a stressful environment all the time. It kind of varies because there are people who are always stressed out as well as people who have nothing going on so you get a b...

Georgetown: Only 100 Jesuits...
Georgetown is a Jesuit university, it’s a Catholic University, but it’s not like people are oppressed with it. There’s less than 100 Jesuits on campus. It’s not like your classes are with priests or anything like that. A little bit over 50 percent of the students are Catholic.
