  1. Georgetown University

    • Graduate School
    • Washington, DC
    • 19 reviews

    Alum: Georgetown is a prestigious university and when it comes time to enter the workforce, employers are impressed when they see it on a resume. I currently work for a fortune 50 company and I was told that my impressive education is part of the reason I got the job. The campus is beautiful, historic, and quaint. You also have the ability to easily venture out in DC if you want to explore countless bars and concert venues. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Georgetown and am grateful to have it on my resume today. Housing is expensive near campus, but it’s totally worth it to live in Georgetown and experience all the it has to offer. People do have to study hard since the academics are challenging, but after the exams everyone likes let loose.

    • George Washington University

      • Graduate School
      • Washington, DC
      • 25 reviews

      Graduate Student: Being in the history department, the faculty is second to none. They are extremely supportive to students and inventive on creating a unique learning experience. The bureaucracy of the school is crippling in trying to navigate basic student needs such as financial aid and registration. They are not helpful unless you visit them in person, which makes it impossible when you try to reach them over any breaks if you’re not near DC. The school does not value having graduate student housing, as seen by their elimination of it in the 2020-21 school year. Their scholarships are, while generous, misleading in the amount of time they will be received. I would rather have known I would receive aid for all four semesters at smaller increments than to have it depleted in my first year, something only the finest of print alludes to. Otherwise, the opportunities provided by education at GW is excellent and the ability to take classes across departments germane to your research focus is great.

        • Washington, DC

        Graduate Student: I am getting my graduate degree from American University. I am taking all classes online so I am unsure about the physical campus or party scene in the town. I should be visiting the campus towards the end of my degree plan and hope to find these answers then. Hopefully, this is helpful!

          Graduate Student: Howard is a great school! Very diverse with great professors that care. The only downside is the financial aide office and reimbursing financial aide funds.

            • Graduate School
            • Washington, DC
            • 3 reviews

            Graduate Student: I started my MBA in Digital Entrepreneurship in April 2018 and I'm currently in my 8th course. My courses are exclusively online. The weekly discussions (Cheddar Chats) are done through a private group on Facebook and the major assignments, High Growth Thinking Exercises, and bonuses are done through Blackboard. I have enjoyed the program so far and have learned so much about Entrepreneurship.

            • University of the District of Columbia

              • Graduate School
              • Washington, DC
              • 8 reviews

              Graduate Student: The University of the District of Columbia has an intimate setting affording students the opportunity to be familiar with their classmates and professors. It provides quality education at a reasonable cost. The course work and training that I am receiving at UDC would cost enormous sums at other universities. I like to call it education without sacrificing my financial future. The course work has been very challenging to prepare students for the work place. Our employment center is excellent and supports undergraduates, graduates and alumni. Our professors and president are relatable and are often seen intermingling with the student body.
