I love it here. Georgetown students are driven, motivated, hardworking, intelligent, and caring. They’re smart and competitive but never cutthroat and the Jesuit values that underpin this school really shine through in how people treat each other. People look out for one another, study together, and genuinely care for one another. I think it’s an incredible place to live and study but ultimately it does come down to personal fit. Don’t necessarily disregard the “click” factor but also understand that not everybody automatically feels like they’ve found their one true match when looking at colleges. A lot of people at Georgetown don’t necessarily enter the school feeling obsessed with it but they grow to love it during their time here. Ultimately I think you need to trust your gut and understand that visiting a school only captures a small (biased) slice of what it would be like to attend here. If you have more specific questions I’d be happy to answer them but otherwise that’s my general overview.
