Georgetown is first and foremost a leading university with a wonderfully diverse student body. As a non Catholic whose children attend catholic school, I am happy to support the school financially and I am grateful that my daughter is having a great education both in and out of the classroom (she heard Bill Clinton speak in Gaston Hall today.) She calls home so excited about her classes (mainly govt. law english and econ) all amazing and she has visited library of congress and the supreme court on school assignments. She attended the inauguration (won tickets in a raffle the night before - high point, Kelly Clarkson and Beyonce!) and sat in on lectures by head of peace corp, former head of the world bank and Madeleine Albright. Met Gary Johnson on Monday night at GW and paddle boated through our nations capital with her boyfriend amid gorgeous cherry blossoms over the weekend. This is a snapshot of her freshman year. Is it worth the money? Yes, because it is a good fit for her. I am grateful she found this fit - it’s tricky to know for sure what is right. As an FYI, when she visited Tufts she ruled it out without applying. Not sure if this means anything. Good luck with your decision - just a day away. D decided between Claremont McKenna and Georgetown on the very last day. Hope your decision is easier.
