I definitely feel that I am learning a lot more in my classes relative to my friends at peer institutions. I'm currently taking an intensive language and several discussion-based courses. I feel I'm learning a lot and I am able to apply my newly acquired knowledge to daily conversations and situations.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I really love Georgetown. Honestly, I applied to Georgetown as a safety school and wound up matriculating.
For a private college campus, Georgetown is Extremely diverse. It's so awesome to walk through Red Square (or anywhere else on campus, for that matter) and to learn other languages being spoken; to walk down M Street and be able to sample Middle Eastern, Indian, American & Latin American food; to have the option of going to a Jon Stewart Rally or meeting President Barack Obama; and then, at the end of the day, go back to your common room and have an interesting intellectual debate about China's GDP, Health Care or even the mediocrity of Georgetown Cupcakes.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I think Georgetown allocates its money well (for the most part) and I feel that it's worth the insanely high Cost-of-Attendance.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
I came here thinking that I would be exploring DC virtually every weekend. That is not the case--because I don't make it a priority and also there are literally hundreds of things/events happening every night. So, make it a point to go into DC because it is soooo easy to stay on campus.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
There's a strong emphasis on social justice/volunteering. Also, internationalism and politics.
