Georgetown is working on its science facilities, including adding a new Science Center hopefully to open by 2011. Organic Chemistry laboratories are already in brand new facilities. The Health Studies School has a new molecular and cellular biology laboratory and teaching facilities. Biology labs are definitely ancient looking, but workable. There will be new courses in cancer biology, human functional anatomy (with cadaver labs), etc. So sciences are not horrid at Georgetown, though Wash U most likely has nicer facilities overall.

Economics at Georgetown is rigorous. And you not only have courses in Economics, but also Political Economy, International Economics, and International Political Economy, with subspecializations in fields like int’l economic theory, economic growth, int’l finance and commerce, econometrics, etc. Don’t know if you’ll have that breadth of opportunities in Economics at Wash U.
