<p>I also am a mom who has a daughter at GW. I think there is a lot of school spirit…just not in the traditional sports sense.The people who go to GW really love their school and get involved in many different ways. There are many events through the Greek system and of coarse clubbing and going out are big. But the city offers so much in the way of Museums and DC landmarks that these become part of the spirit of GW as well. During visiting weekend, the White House gave out passes all day to walk on the grounds…see the gardens and some places the President and family like to spend time. Walked into the Supreme Court last winter on another visit. These experiences among others are unmatched. And as far as academics, if you are a driven person and willing to work hard and play hard all the way through…you will get a great education with a lot of support from the professors. Introductions to prominant people in the fields you are studying abound. She’s having the time of her life and I know that the GW experience will add to her success going forward. She is a senior now so my info is current.</p>
