COL '13 here.

Healy hall is the #1 place to go, to me that building is basically Georgetown’s history and character. Also check out Dahlgren chapel nearby.

You should also look at Lauinger Library, the ICC and Red Square, the business school building, and (if you’re math/sciency), Reiss and St. Mary’s. This is where most of the academia gets done. You should actually visit Lau and explore ICC floor 1 – this is where the majority of your studying and classes will be, respectively, and the tours won’t take you there.

See if you can’t get into the dining hall (I think you can pay to get in without a meal plan). It’s Thursday so they’ll be serving chicken fingers. Get those and sit down next to some random freshmen.

Now that I think about it, if you have specific major in mind, I would go to that department and talk to any undergraduates (not faculty or staff) you can find there (just ask, “are you a __ major?”). Ask them about their honest opinion of Georgetown’s department there. I probably should have done that on my college tours.

Also, chicken madness sub at Wisemiller’s grill (“Wisey’s”, 36th and N).
