The George Washington University is full of internship and job opportunities. Studying at the center of politics, many students share valuable connections and memorable experiences. With embassies, museums, monuments, students can always find something to do and enjoy while pursuing your degree(s)!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Join student organizations if you can and try being active. Also, I really recommend study group when studying for midterms and finals. Be enthusiastic and pick classes you truly like.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
It is not really difficult if you manage your time well and listen to professor (go to the lecture). I recommend going to the office hours if you are confused or not doing well in the class. Professors are willing to help if you ask for help. Midterms and finals can be difficult, but if you study in advance and not cram in the end (sometimes it works though, but I don't encourage you to do that), you will succeed in all of the classes. Usually there's midterm and final. Some classes have additional quizzes and essays.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
There's parties on Thursdays, Fridays, and weekends. If you are not into parties, it doesn't really matter. Dorm is usually quiet and it is possible to study at dorm (but some students choose to go to the library to study)
Describe the food and dining at your college.
There are many restaurants at GW. When you are enrolled in the school, you will get two types of money (dining dollars and colonial cash). Dining dollars are used only for J-street and those around J-street (pretty much school cafeteria). Colonial cash is used outside J-street (for example, CVS). Food is not excellent, but it's edible and you get used to it. If you are tired of restaurants at Foggy Bottom (GW campus), you can try exploring outside restaurants in D.C.. For example, Founding Farmers is a great restaurant.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There's lots of things to do for fun. First is the parties and nightclubs. Second, you can explore D.C. Also, there's lots of events that D.C. hosts (ex. Taste of D.C., Paint Party, etc) so if you look for things to do they're available.
