Georgetown’s location, if your interest is in government, certainly can’t be beat for internship opportunities. But kimfuge88 is correct. Political Science is academically stronger at Northwestern. Economics there is world class, levels above that at Georgetown. This is just as true at the applied MBA level, with NU’s Kellogg typically top 5 in every objective assessment, again, levels above McDonough.

Having said that, Georgetown recruits well among consultancies and kids place very well into grad programs. I’d suggest he follow his heart to whichever school seems to fit best.
