I am extremely satisfied with my decision to pick Georgetown. The professors are all experts in their fields, classes are a great size, and the people here (mostly) are wonderful. Despite the occasional elitist boarding school kid, the atmosphere here is great. I have truly found my best friends here, and I wouldn’t change a thing. Highly recommend checking rate my professor before choosing classes! The one thing I will complain about is the competitive club culture, but I have been able to find incredible extracurriculars that aren’t toxic and exclusive. Also, it’s cliché, but the location cannot be beat. I always have something to do in the city, and most of the museums downtown are free, so weekends are always jam packed. Definitely worth the money, in my opinion.
I am reminded everyday how incredibly lucky I am to be a student at Georgetown University. I truly believe that there is a place for everyone here. Interested in Political Science? Pre-Med? Theology? Languages? International Affairs? GEORGETOWN IS THE PLACE TO BE! No matter their interests, Georgetown students and faculty are united by the spirit of Cura Personalis—"care for the whole person." My peers at Gtown are the most multi-faceted and driven people I have ever met.
Tucked away in a beautiful residential neighborhood, yet walking distance from the heart of Washington DC, Georgetown's location is unmatched. Georgetown has a STELLAR reputation among employers in both the public and private sectors. The Georgetown network includes countless successful professionals, ranging from politicians on Capitol Hill, medical researchers at the NIH, executives on Wall Street, and diplomats in the State Department. I am looking forward to seeing where my Georgetown education will take me.

Georgetown was an incredible experience where I met many of the most impressive people I have ever met. In high school, I wasn’t sure if I would accept my offers at Yale or
Princeton instead, but I ultimately chose to attend the School of Foreign Service where I studied international economics and math, and learned Arabic. The academics were very rigorous but exciting, and the intellectual vibe was great. After graduating, I did quantitative trading at a hedge fund in New York City and then went to a private equity firm in Dubai. Can’t go wrong with Georgetown!
