Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

How much a student likes Southwestern depends entirely on the personality and upbringing of the individual student. For many, Southwestern is a collegiate paradise. The school feels safe, close-knit, and supportive. This is particularly true for those students that come from other small Texan towns similar to Georgetown. To others, the school feels constricting, bland, and homogenous. If you would rather live in a relaxed, affluent, (though academically rigorous) environment instead of one that regularly pushes your comfort-zone boundaries, you may very well be the ideal Southwestern student. There are very few students who are in the middle about their feelings towards Southwestern; they either love it or hate it. Many of those that dislike Southwestern came in with poor attitudes, often because Southwestern was not their first choice. However, as the popularity and prestige of Southwestern grows, so does the number of students coming here because it’s where they want to be.

Essentially, Southwestern provides top-notch and unique educational opportunities for its students. Some students take advantage of study abroad and internship opportunities, others do not. Some students take advantage of the thriving social and Greek scene, others do not. Because Southwestern tends to be isolated, it takes effort on your part to go out and find things to do, like driving to Austin or exploring what small things Georgetown has to offer—none of these things will just fall into your lap. The same goes for the school itself; to get the most out of your time at Southwestern, you have to be prepared to make the school work for you. If you invest lots of energy and work in Southwestern, it’s bound to return the favor tenfold.

School Scene Drugs?

I have not seen any visible drug use people smoke but most college students do. Alcohol is usually visible around the frat houses and campus apartments where the Seniors live.

Night Life at SU

There are Frat parties almost every weekend like at any other college, there are not many bars or clubs nearby. Transportation is not needed if you are traveling around Georgetown, but if you want to go to "clubs" or "bars" Austin is 3o minutes away. Also the Friday night live organization on campus also has events scheduled for Saturday and Sunday and various days through out the week.

SU Facilities

Athletics is recently expanding and adding a football team, Student centers are very helpful we have three one for academic success, one of career services and one for student activities which has a number of clubs/organizations to join; also there is a wonderful writing center. There are many campus activities we have Friday night Live which is a student organization that puts on shows and brings in comedians for people to come see, which is hosted in the cove which is half pool hall and half eating/hanging out hall. The library is three stories and all staff is really knowledgeable in each area and very helpful. The campus is kept beautiful by the great physical plant workers that take care of work orders with a quickness!
