If you want urban like a GW, moreso that AU, Loyola and UMD, look at VCU and Charleston (plenty of short flights from NYC). Drexel too.
What drove you to GW as a favorite ? The urban environment or something else ? It’s very different than the other 3 you mentioned.
Of course, you might be considering the Mt Vernon campus of GW which is more traditional than the main GW haunts.
Just as a point of reference, my D really liked both the GWU and AU campuses (even though she preferred urban campuses in general). It’s a myth that students only lock in on one of type of campus. With OP’s possible major in communications, these are both good options.
i’m afraid i’m not allowed to go more than 5 hours away due to medical issues. drexel is on my list and if all else fails, i will absolutely go and tour. gw was my favorite because of the urban environment as well as the suburban environment on the vern to escape from the city a bit and it’s closer knit, and the size of it is nice. i also really liked the internship opportunities that they had on their portal, being in dc is important to me and i understand i can do so at american, but you’re more so in the city itself with gw, they have an irish dance club which for me is important, i’d like to work with their athletics somehow, i’d like to be part of the global women’s institute and i’ve spoken to people about how strong the program is, and more but i’ll spare you that
it’s like american but au has the more tight social aspect and gw has some different offerings and the location of it made a difference as well.
Good luck
Here is a list of ID college clubs Member Teams — Collegiate Irish Dance
I think my daughter actually helped caused the demise of UDel’s club, she was president but stretched very thin with her sorority and club track office. Her older sister, who never danced, was an officer at Rutgers just because she was an accounting major and needed it for her resume, and grew up with two sisters who danced. If it’s important, make sure the club is actually strong.
thank you i genuinely appreciate your feedback
GW should be a good target for you. Have you considered The Maxwell School at Syracuse University?
thank you! no, but i’ll absolutely look into it!
seems like it! they have a lot of members and i see that they’re active. they’re going to villanova’s festival in a few weeks too
This is empirically true. While the don’t shout about it for obvious reasons, they definitely accept a wider range of full-pay students than those requiring financial support.
The disparity between ED applicant acceptance rates and those applying RD are not as dramatic as, say, Tulane, but ED offers a considerable admissions advantage.
