The campus is perfect for me. It may not be for you. If you go for the city, not here, Gtown is very close and urban by most standards, but not in DC. If you like rural, this is far too urban to fit.

Simply beautiful. Being adjacent to the Potomac River doesn't hurt the views, either (this is sarcasm--the river makes everything especially picturesque).

My #1 choice now after visiting.

I just despised the lack of any green areas on the campus (at least which I saw). That was all it took to turn me off to the campus.

Georgetown is a nice campus, but I think it's biggest asset is its location in DC. If you're interested in politics, foreign relations, etc. it seems like a great place to spend four years.

I love location and buildings but I had a not-so-comforting feeling about the people. i am probably definitely off..but it proved to be an AMAZING CAMPUS just not the right people, student type for me

I fell in love with it because I really liked the lived-in feeling. There was also a sense of history on campus, probably because of the neat old buildings and the proximity to downtown DC.

A wonderful place to study for four years.

Our high-standards prospective student loved it - her sister from Harvard asked after the visit "Hey Dad - why didn't I consider this place when we were doing college tours?"

Compared to many other schools I toured, it is one of the better ones. You have to realize that the dorms will not be like your room at home and that you have to put ion work to make it your home.

I loved Georgetown the friendliness of the people and the appearance of the campus. Very clean and safe. Also it is small so everything is some what convenient

Nothing really bad to say. However, the cafeteria, Leo's, is pretty repetitive. The food isn't bad, but I can easily imagine that the food will seem really dull after 2 weeks.

GU could pour some more of its funds into remodeling the place, upgrading the gym, and starting from scratch with a new library - but overall it's a great place to be! I really, really liked it.

It was hard to judge with all of the snow and ice!

I didn't like Georgetown. I'm sorry. I spent almost all of my time off campus because I just did not like it.

Great academics and amazing campus. Pretty conservative though because it is Jesuit.

I loved it and knew I'd be happy there.

Enjoyed it, being a New York kid I thought that it was great, and it was in my taste. You need to definetly see it to make sure it fits yours though!
