Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

It is difficult to get much of a consensus on the quality of Georgetown’s facilities. Athletic Hoyas decry the outdated state of the Main Campus gym but admit that it gets the job done. Participants in the Corp praise their offices and retail spaces, and performing arts groups are appeased by their ample space in the new Davis Center. Despite Georgetown’s relatively low endowment, as compared to many of its peer universities, the University is currently working hard to improve facilities in many different disciplines.

The few problems with facilities on campus should not cause potential students to quake in their boots—it is never wise to base one’s college decision on the quality of the gym or the prospect of having antique Italian furniture in one’s dorm room. Georgetown is working hard to improve many of the campus facilities. Recently, Georgetown has dedicated itself to developing excellent, new, and improved facilities. The new science center, business school, New South student center, and forthcoming library renovations are all examples of massive improvement to the facilities.

Could Be Better

We are getting a lot of new buildings, but the library we have right now needs a lot of improvement. Other than that, everything is pretty good.

General Campus and Library

The general campus is seriously lacking in adequate learning spaces. Besides the newest additions to the university such as the MSB, I feel that several of the classroom's have desks that are too small or climates that lack proper temperature management. The library is also not up-to-date and not large enough. One of my biggest burdens is often finding a place to study in the library. The study cartels are relatively small too.

Favorite Things To Do

Georgetown students love to stay very active. They do anything and everything in their free time, from working out at Yates to playing pick-up games of soccer or Frisbee. Some students even like to set up their own volleyball net on Copley lawn and play. Otherwise, students enjoy catching the current play on campus, watching the free movies on the weekends, or attending one of the lectures by the hundreds of awesome speakers who visit Georgetown each year. There is never a shortage of fun things to do on campus.
