@anon46577322 , I hope you ignore the childish jerkish responses on this thread and focus on the people mature enough to offer thoughtful advice. It makes no sense for adults to try to “win” conversations with teenagers looking for honest helpful advice.

Unfortunately, I don’t have enough first-hand information about either school as it relates to lgbt topics. However, from a financial perspective, it would seem Georgetown is the clear answer for now. Also, from an academic perspective, it seems Georgetown has a ready-made major for you.

Reading between the lines, it sounds like you have non-school related reasons for preferring NYC over DC. If that’s the case, I’d caution you to step back and consider if that’s enough reason to spend extra money and also try to shoehorn yourself into a major that may not be as natural a fit for you as SFS. Sure, NYC is unique, but it’s not like DC is podunksville. I think you’ll find enough to do in DC.

Congrats on two great opportunities and good luck to you!
