Hey…
I had to make the same decision this year, actually. In the end, my decision came down to Swat and GU, even though I had never visited Swat. My reasons for choosing Georgetown probably aren’t relatable to you (longer history loving the school… and the SFS offering more in its field than Swat). However, I can tell you that at GAAP, the dean of the SFS came to speak to us, and he was a former professor at Swat. He compared Swat and Gtown for us, and why he though Gtown’s SFS was better (it was highly ironic for me). But he said that the College at Gtown is just as good as Swat’s liberal arts program (he actually stressed that it wasn’t the best… just equal).

So, my advice would be to go based on fit. Especially since they’re pretty much total opposites.
