It is an adorable cobblestone town only slightly removed from DC. It is filled with great shopping and very good resturants.

There's a lot happening around the campus as far as food and shopping.

Georgetown has horrendous traffic, lousy parking, but lots of restaurants, pubs, upscale shopping. Historic townhomes, brick sidewalks. Guide says that upperclassmen find fairly good housing nearby

Fantastic. The townhomes are very picturesque (Madeleine Albright owns one) and the neighborhood looks very wealthy and historic. Great views of the National Monument, Virginia, etc.

Georgetown is wonderful, but expensive.

The name of the school says it all. Georgetown's delightful. Our D loves the Harvard Square area and thought this setting had a very similar vibe. Nightspots, ethnic restaurants, abundant charm

Very Quaint and quiet-- beautiful if you have a brick house fetish. The high number of campus townhomes is a unique experience and is a great extension to the small size of the actual campus.

Great places to eat to make up for decent on-campus dining. Places to go include Wisconsin & M and The Tombs as well as the greater DC area.

Upscale shopping, quaint townhouses, fantastic restaurants - everything you need is very close by. Georgetown has one of the best college-town feels I've gotten from anywhere.

Boring residential area RIGHT around campus. Not too much of a walk to find the shopping area where DC residents "come to Georgetown"

Georgetown, the surrounding neighborhood, is very bustling and nice. Plenty of shopping, restaurants, and off-campus housing in townhomes.

The area outisde of Georgetown (also called Georgetown) is GREAT. The best shopping I've ever seen in my life (& I've been to Europe), hookah, bars, great restaurants, and of course DC.

Georgetown is amazing, not counting the recent crime wave in the area. :S

The area around the campus is very nice- lots of residential buildings. Adorable townhouses are everywhere.

It's DC, and there's plenty of rural VA to explore.

Your'e on capital hill! You can see the capitol and the monument. That being said, the other side of the campus is kind of boring (just suburban housing right outside the main gate).
