The buildings are all beautiful and the architecture is amazing. It is a perfect college campus and is very central and quaint, yet large at the same time.

Campus seemed very clean
Dormitories: 4 - Very Good -
Didn't get to go inside, but I heard they are pretty good.

Felt very comfortable on and surrounding campus. DC isn't the safest but around Georgetown is very upscale so it's not too bad.
Overall Campus Impression: 5 - Excellent -
My #1 choice now after visiting.
Off-Campus:

Quaint shops and restaurants on M street and beautiful houses surround Georgetown

I love DC. There is so much going on and I love being in the nation's capital. Lots to do.
Campus Visit Notes for Georgetown University:
Visit Description:
Saw Georgetown upset Duke in lacrosse. Yates Field House is a very nice facility with indoor tennis courts(I'm a tennis player) and a nice weight room. Copley Hall is really nice and really old and it feels like your back in the 19th century. The campus is very hilly so make sure you bring good walking shoes and are in good shape. The Exorcist was filmed on parts of campus because the producer went to Georgetown. Make sure you call in advance to set up a tour
Hotel/Lodging Recommendations or Comments:
Ritz Carlton on 22nd St
Dining/Restaurant Recommendations or Comments:
Old Ebbit Grill-Nice American food kind of upscale.
Other Comments (Transportation, local attractions, parking, etc.):
The Metro is nice and the closest stop is Rosslyn or Foggy Bottom and is only a 10 min walk from campus.
