Visit to Georgetown University in July 2007 by dande1114 (Student, HS Class of 2008)
Visit Activities:
Information Session:
No - crowded. fairly decent...rambled way too much about academics and not student life or diversity (or lack thereof) or...anything else really. Campus Tour:
Yes - Nice tour. TOO BIG A GROUP. you are supposed to schedule in advance but people always show up who never signed up so it was crowded.

Campus Visit Notes for Georgetown University:
Visit Description:
As I said, we went for a tour and visit and then....got out of there. I will not apply, and it was originally my second choice....
a bad feeling about the homogeneous of the student body is my reason for not applying.
Hotel/Lodging Recommendations or Comments:
Marriott Wardman Park..when the renovations are done...it should be amazing.
Other Comments (Transportation, local attractions, parking, etc.):
PARKING IS FOR ONLY 2 HOURS! so be careful. we only barely got out in time
