scma - I am also a parent of a georgetown student.
She is very glad that she made the decision to go there vs. UVA. She is actually staying on campus this summer and has a job in the admissions office! She loves the city and will never never live in a small town again (not that our town is small but by comparison…)

She loves the culture, the different foods, lots of things to do and the classes. Yes!!!
Example - she and her roommate stayed on campus for spring break. They went to the museums and then spent a day they called Africa Day. They went to see Hotel Rawanda and then had Ethopian food. How cool is that!? She has been to the Diplomatic Ball, trick or treating on Embassy Row - the French Embassy gave out the best candy she said! Colin Powell has come to speak and some other well known politicians. Not many colleges can give you an experience like that. For International Relations/SFS that is the place to be. One of her friends is going to be an intern at the Pentagon this summer - nice gig for a 19 year old.

Good choice Calidan!!
