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 Athletic Hoyas decry the outdated state of the main campus gym but admit that it gets the job done.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. There is a new building on campus that houses all of the business classes, and a new building devoted to science and math is currently in the works.

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.

Great Libraries and Gyms

The Yates Field House has several courts, pool, track, dance room, weightlifting, etc. and is free with tuition at Georgetown. The libraries are state of the art and part of a consortium of libraries on the East Coast. If you can't find something you want, the University will get it for you.

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.

In between classes you can break a sweat in the gym, cool off in the pool, take in a play, join in pick-up sports, or grab a bite to eat, all without ever leaving campus.
