<p>Academically, they are about equal, so if you’re an international student and you are leaning towards Georgetown, then go to GU. Not only does it have strong economics department, but it has an international student body, and shares the same city with the World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF), US Treasury, Inter-American Develoment Bank, Federal Reserve Bank, think tanks, etc. That means amazing adjunct professors, guest speakers on campus, and internship opportunities. Plus, more international direct flights doesn’t hurt.</p>
