Perfect preppy college with good looking guys and girls. Campus looks and feels like students study hard but also have a lot of fun. Campus is beautifu. and town is happening.

Tour guide was very good speaker and gave insight into the school from eyes of a student. Told us about insider issues and other things students should know.

Had a talkative, upfront guy leading the tour. He talked up thow great it was to live in DC, plenty of bars near campus.

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 tour guide was polite and knowledgable; I liked the fact that they were regular students, and didn't simply spout well-rehearsed information. It felt genuine.

Let's be honest, Georgetown's campus is pretty small. However, the tour goes to just about every building, which makes you feel like there's a lot to see!

Gorgeous campus, although our tour guides were new. Also, signs of campus life, like "Beat Duke" signs in windows and a beer bottle or two in the bushes - but campus was very clean.

About 45 min., led by a student. G'town's campus is really impressive, and distinctively Hogwartsian. Our D loved it; her little brother liked standing on the North Hall porch where Geo Wa

I took my own tour which I found out is usually the best way to tour a campus. The campus is not spectacular but it is in Georgetown right next to Washington DC and that is wonderful.

Standard-- Tour guide was very enthusiastic and knew his stuff. No kids ask questions but one dad was very lively. He asked, "Do the dorms have sprinklers?"

Went on both a formal and informal one and found it pretty standard. The campus isn't that big, so it wasn't difficult to cover everything.

Large group but lots of good info on the standard tour. I preferred the more in-depth and personal tour that I received from my GAAP student.

It was very cold and very windy. The tour was comprehensive. Georgetown has no metro stop. The guide said you could walk across the bridge to catch the metro at Rosslyn. In good weather, maybe!

Not really a conventional tour but my host student took me around the campus. Definitely better than the generic version the school would have given during GAAP week.

The campus is very nice. Some of the buildings are slightly more "modern" (i.e. not the prettiest), but the campus does feel cohesive and there are some seriosuly gorgeous buildings.

I liked my tour guide, and she hit most of the important topics. We were accosted by some leftist protesters, but I guess that happens everywhere.

Tour guide led use around the Georgetown campus which is enclosed from the road on one end, but it has bustling streets and is spread out. Toured libraries, dorms (didn't get to see one though), general campus, gym, ect.
