Woah I love this place. Just finished my freshmen year and I cannot accurately articulate how awesome it was. I had no idea what to expect going in, but I just loved it. Everyone around you is so driven and hardworking. There is definitely a work hard play hard culture -- although you aren't pressured to "play" if you don't want to. There are ample resources and opportunities. Also DC is gorgeous.
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.
I would like to see a little more direction on what to accomplish before the start of the masters program.
As a student in the SFS, I really feel like there isn't a better fit out there for my area of study. The students and professors are amazing, and the opportunities are endless.
An amazing school! Club culture can be a little intimidating and the facilities/food are not great, however the people, academics, and resources are amazing.
My freshman experience isn't as good as expected. The unviersity lets lots of new, unexperienced professors to teach introductory courses. I am not learning anything during these lectures, and have to figure everything out by myself to prepare for exams.
I love Georgetown because of the opportunities available to students, the learning environment it provides for them.
The most special and life-changing four years of my life. So grateful for all that I’ve gained….an incredible career in my field of study, lifelong friends that are more like family, faculty I admire and can depend on to share their wealth of knowledge and vast network of colleagues across the globe.
Georgetown's online FNP-DNP program is exceptional in both its academic rigor and student engagement. The support I have received while beginning this program is next to none--I have consistently received generous feedback, direction, and resources that have allowed me to start a successful educational career within Georgetown's tight knit community.
Great time! You really understand why alumni have such a love for the place! Highly recommend for any prospective student!
Came to Georgetown 12 years ago then decided to stay for medical school and residency. It's expensive (tuition and living in DC), but DC is an excellent city with lots of things to do, places to eat, and parks. The culture at Georgetown is accepting and friendly.
Beautiful campus, wonderful professors who want you to do well, great community of people. Plenty of clubs to get involved in. DC area is easy to walk to or take a bus to. Housing could be better as you are forced to live on campus for three years.
This is the place to be if you want to pursue anything government-related. They also have a pretty good school of business. It's definitely on the wealthier side but you will find plenty of middle class, public school kids as well. People are hardworking, determined, and push themselves but aren't competitive or snakey about it.
Georgetown is a great and inclusive school. As an international graduate student, leaving home for the first time there were definitely apprehensions about moving to a new country and investing so much in a Master's degree. The experience has been wonderful and very global. The program has people from over 19 countries.
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!
Financial aid office is very easy to talk to and discuss offers! Food is not as bad as people say and neither are the dorms which have been recently been redone and are much nicer then before.
Georgetown so far has been everything I wanted it to be. Professors are so passionate and intelligent, students are mostly kind and driven, and I've been so impressed by the quality of conversations I've had here. Georgetown is by no means perfect, and I have a lot to say about the opaque administration, the janky facilities, and the systemic racism. The atmosphere can be a little pre-professional and stressful at times but I feel that Georgetown is still a big enough space where everyone can eventually find their place. Opportunities for extracurriculars are incredible.
