I grew up in DC, am now 45, still live here. American has rep of being a school for wealthier kids who can’t get into better schools and foreign nationals who want to send kids to the “American” University. Georgetown has rep of being the place for liberal Catholic families who have money and want to be near DC – great foreign service. Maryland has a rep of being an excellent public university. I would say Georgetown is better for some things, but Maryland is superior for others. It depends on what you want to major in.
