@EconPop I’ll be honest my son didn’t come away very impressed. The information session was fine, but the tour was not very informative. We just walk around 2 block of central campus and finished back at the welcome center. It is hard to say, but my son didn’t get a great feel from it. Some high points an low points:
- Didn’t see any academic areas, except for the lobby of the science center.
- Most campus tours we get a look at the student union, we just did a fly by of the outside
- No dorm tour (makes you wonder)
- Our guide pointed to buildings down the street, but we did venture very far from the starting point
- We did go through the District House basement. We did eat there. Pretty cool.
We heard a lot about Whole Foods, Panera and Starbucks, but not much about the community. Our guide did really stress the location and it’s access to many internship opportunities, but that was a given.
We did walk around quiet a bit after the tour, and Friday night, and again Sunday afternoon (Captain Cookie!!), but I guess he didn’t fall in love with it. Which is good to know!!
My son got a tour of Gtown by a friend who is a senior, and we toured American on Saturday. Maybe that kind of urban campus isn’t for him, but I thought GWU would have tried a little harder.
