Georgetown University Reviews

My experience at Georgetown University as a Freshman has been phenomenal. The very first month has been the most memorable. Due to how open the community was, I was able to meet new people every single day and also, I was able to find my long-life friends immediately! The community was so diverse that I had never heard a single negative comment. It was purely all just having fun and sharing honest thoughts. Now, throughout the school year, as a Freshman, I went through many obstacles. One of the most common ones is sickness. However, because of the flexibility that the professors had, I was able to succeed in class. Georgetown's flexibility and resources are so great that even though I was sick some days, I still had a smile on my face. Although it's only my first year, I can definitely say that I started off with no regrets.
Truly one of the best undergraduate experiences out there! Teaching staff, social scene, academic offers outside of the classroom (speaker, events, etc), traditions, and the surrounding area make Georgetown incredibly special. Sure you can get a great education at a number of schools on this list, but you can’t get the Georgetown experience anywhere else. Everyone is super hardworking, optimistic/grounded (none of the Ivy snark or pessimism), and most importantly looking to give back. I’m not catholic (I’m frankly not even religious), but the Jesuit values and inclusive nature of the school gives a one of a kind education for the mind, body, and soul. It might seem like a pain to fill out another application (I know it sucks and should be updated), but it will be the best pain you’ve ever put yourself through!
Georgetown is an awesome university. I truly never expected I'd get in, but once I was there, I meet some of the most amazing people in my life. I am so glad I decided to come here! I truly cannot wait to spend the next four years here!
Professors are kind and caring, but you also really need to take your own initiative in making sure that you are on top of things. It isn't smooth sailing, college really is challenging at times, but you really have to remind yourself that you are capable. Self-confidence is truly key. Georgetown has really good mental health services, and clubs covering every nationality. It is truly a diverse experience to go there.
I made so many friends from different places that I never thought I could interact with, but we all found common ground! It really shows that no matter how diverse the world is, we can all come together, no matter the backgrounds that we have. I am truly proud to be a Georgetown student, and once again, can't wait to see what I can do!
