Only 100 Jesuits...

Introduction
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.

Campus Life and Social Life
There’s definitely a huge international focus here at Georgetown. A lot of international students here too. Everybody in the school of Foreign Service has to study a foreign language. You have to be proficient in it. Passing a proficiency test is a big hurdle to getting your degree in Foreign Service here. A lot of students have to study abroad during their junior year. People go everywhere in the world, from England to Australia to Egypt to China. Just all over the place. Study abroad’s about a lot of different things for a lot of different people. Some people go to learn a language, some people go to learn a culture. Some people go to the London school of economics to get a really great education for a year. Academics
I work for the school paper the HOYA, it’s like a full time job. Georgetown doesn’t have a lot of money for school organizations, so student organizations have to fend for themselves a lot here. We’ve got the country’s largest student run bank. We’ve got the country’s largest student run corporation. I think that’s because these student organizations, they have to make it on their own.

Student Body
There aren’t fraternities at Georgetown and that makes it a lot less suffocating I think. You know people just hang out based on what clubs they’re in. You’re friends are people that you do stuff with. And that’s a lot more fun than people that you went through a ridiculous rush process with. Everybody’s a lot friendlier at Georgetown. It’s a lot more open social than you’d get at a school with a lot of fraternities.
