<p>I’m not gonna be able to visit far away colleges and I feel like research has only gotten me so far. Can any Georgetown students tell me about

  • the general atmosphere (academic + social life, and whether the pendulum sways more toward one or the other)
  • surrounding life + whether the school feels really isolated or integrated
  • research opportunities–are they hard to get or can anyone start researching right away if they seek out opportunities?
  • what are the students like? Is the college diverse or is there a “typical” student?
  • history, anthropology, other social science majors–generally, are they amazing, good, okay, or subpar?
  • the quality of the premed program or advising/whether it has much success or not</p>

<p>I’m an incoming student, so I won’t pretend to speak with authority on any of these (although I do think I could somewhat reliably answer most of them). However, here’s a link to a series of articles the school newspaper has done for incoming freshmen about life at Georgetown. There’s categories on the left side.</p>
