Off-Campus Dining at Southwestern University

A

Tiny Towns = More Than Chain Restaurants

Georgetown's historic town square and outlying communities are home to many great, original restaurants.

The town square has a Thai, a French, an Italian, and a general fine-dining restaurant within 3 blocks of each other. Around the downtown area there's a great home-style restaurant, Monument Cafe, which grows its own produce and buys it from the local farmers' market. There's also a lot of Tex-Mex restaurants that go beyond the chain restaurant feel: Dos Salsas, El Patron, El Charrito, and Sierra's, just to name a few.

While there are numerous original restaurants scattered around, Georgetown also has almost every popular chain restaurant, as well, for those of us that don't want to spend too much or want to chow down on some nasty food.

Greek Life at Southwestern University

N/A

Greek Life - Various, Not Alienating

We have social sororities and fraternities (Tri-Delts, Pike, etc), but we also have a religious sorority and fraternity, a service fraternity (that accepts both males and females), and a social justice sorority.

The social greeks throw parties, but don't dominate campus or create a group difference (us vs. them).

Only the social fraternities have houses.

Inside Scoop at Southwestern University

A-

Academics Better Than Other Schools

The academics are challenging, but rewarding. You don't skip class and only go to take tests, you go to learn and you're rewarded for it.

Unique opportunities: Paideia, a liberal arts honor program in which you actively engage in learning through academics, civic engagement, and intercultural experience.
