Harry's Review

Review of Georgetown University

from Peoria, IL

Describe your college in three sentences.

Great location in D.C. The prep is real, and turned me off initially, but it's all about who you surround yourself with. I find that people have a hard time relaxing.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Do you like pre-professionalism or liberal arts learning? Georgetown's got plenty of both, but unfortunately the business/consulting aspect wins out in terms of appearance.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Depends on the class/teacher. You can half-ass it if you want, but school is hard - that's why you're there, right? Sciences and international relations seem to be strongest, but really you can't go wring.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Freshmen dorms are hit-and-miss, it helps if you have upperclassmen buddies freshman year (I didn't)

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Leo's is the only dining hall but it's actually really not bad at all. Plenty of other options on and off-campus, though it's all expensive.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

Join student organizations, go see people speak, hang out, go see concerts/clubs in D.C..
