Additional Costs
Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.

I am only in my first semester at Georgetown, but I already feel like I am learning a great deal. The teachers are very helpful, and will not hesitate to work with you until you understand something. Their doors are always open outside of class also, if you need more help.
Caitlin from Florence, KY
They are absolutely amazing. They are beyond welcoming and I have never seen a smaller, more close knit campus in my life. I wouldn't choose any other school because this one is absolutely perfect.
Lealys from Nashville, TN
Georgetown College is a little school with a big personality. Everyone wants to help you and get to know you. You also get a great deal of belonging here.
Rebecca G. from Elizabethtown, KY
Georgetown College is a very welcoming college with teachers/staff that care about you, and even know you by name. Teacher to student ratio is low-- which is fantastic for one-on-one help. Although Georgetown College is expensive you'll get a quality education.
Rebecca from Sadieville, KY
This cost a fortune but I love it here. It is a small school you are able to get more one-on-one time with the professors. The entire staff of GC are awesome. I'm staying here till the end!!!
Nicole from Upper Marlboro, MD
Georgetown College is a small school with dedicated, intelligent professors. The students feel a sense of community with each other as well as with the staff and faculty. The entire campus works to build a great environment for learning both in class and out.
Amberlee from Lexington, KY
Georgetown challenges you as a student to succeed and is a great school academically. Georgetown school is very small and could update its campus a little bit. But Georgetown College is full of friendly people and is a fun campus.
Austin from Prospect, KY
From what I researched-this college is for me.
Chikara from Chicago, IL
At Georgetown the teachers really do challenge you to do your very best.
Traci from Georgetown, KY
As a sophomore, I have already learned more than what I learned all of K12 I feel. My mind is constantly engaged.
