It was very well taken care of. A little dusty in some areas, but that's to be expected in such an old campus.

If there's one thing I can say it's that Gtown was well maintained. Nice architecture, and recently renovated dorms. The oldest freshman dorm, New South (which I stayed at) was the best I�

There was a lot of trash on the ground after Day 1. Understandable, though, given the insane number of students hanging out on the lawn (probably almost 1000).

The buildings were very nice. Didn't have a problem with the buildings themselves, just the lack of anything besides buildings.

There seemed to muchsummer activity centering on cleaning, painting, maintenance etc. Our guide took us to a rooftop where we had a view of the city, plus all the empties from the year's drinking

The historic buildings actually looked the most well-kept. Some of the other buildings (the ones that were actually built more recently) looked a bit, well, broken-in.

Nice balance between historical and new facilities. Very clean, but not so clean (I did mention the beer bottle near the dorm steps) that you forget that college students live there!

Looked great - even the very old buildings. D's older sister goes to Harvard. Harvard's Physical Plant staff should visit Georgetown and learn a thing or two.

No visible trash in the buildings or the dorms. If you're visiting, Yates Fieldhouse is also a great place to see - indoor track, basketball courts, indoor tennis courts, and a gym!

The restrooms were clean, there was no trash on the ground, and none of the facilities smelled "off." Overall the campus was very well maintained although some of the grounds need a little r

Well, they're pretty responsive if you get locked out of your dorm (happens A LOT). However, one of the floors flooded and was out of use for quite a while.

With a campus that nice, they need to keep it clean.

Some of the buildings were pretty old. One of the classrooms I saw still had chalkboards and there weren't many modern luxuries (smartboards, etc)

All the facilities were fine, I really had and have no complaints. The grounds are kept up perfectly, but inside some of the buildings you can see there are places they "forget" to clean sometimes. However, this really isn't bothersome.

I don't remember anything bad, so I guess it was good.

Some parts are beautiful, others are kind of lacluster, but over all well kept, tons of greenery where you need it. Fascilities are very well kept of course, interiors are not drab.
