Not Too Sure...

I have a laptop (strongly recommend one. you can find great deals for students during the summer). The computers I have seen seem to be pretty up to date and nice. The only thing that annoys me is the lack of wireless all around campus especially in the dorms. We're suppose to get it by next year though...hopefully!

What Greek Life?!?!?!

Georgetown does not recognize any official frats or sororities on campus. While there are a handful of chapters (APO,etc.) they don't run the campus like at many other universities. If you are looking for something similar to the community frats offer without all of the ridiculous hazing and lifelong commitments then a sports team or certain clubs will definitely suffice. The various townhouses off of Magis Row or Prospect would be the equivalent to a Greek house. You can always find a party on Prospect or Magis Row! I don't know any gtown student who dislikes the lack of frats, if anything they are pleased that they don't take over.

Leo's, Leavey, and Epicurean

Creativity and resourcefulness is a must if one is going to deal with the food situation. Leo's is the only dining hall and while it is a nice atmosphere (2 floors with multiple stations) the food is sometimes less than satisfactory. Leavey has a few fast food places to eat at (Subway, Cosi, and Starbucks are normally the only one's ever open though). Epicurean is a restaurant on campus that has fairly good food but at obscene prices. In general, I recommend getting the smallest meal plan and just buying some groceries to make your own food or venture out into the city and try exotic food if you can afford it.

Maxim's Hot 100

So if Maxim rated the top prestigious schools in order of attractiveness Georgetown would certainly be at the top. Like any school with smart students there is definitely the nerdy looking girls and guys, but there are some surprisingly good looking people as well. Mostly white, but you can definitely find a little colorful flavor in the mix as well. It makes me wonder if that's part of the interview process as well (lol jk).

Ihealth, SFS, DC and More!!!

Georgetown is one of two schools in the US that has an international health major for undergrads. "The department's curriculum blends public health and health systems management with an emphasis on the environment, culture, economics, and politics and their influence on health."

Georgetown is also known for it's School of Foreign Service (Bill Clinton graduated from it). It's pretty self explanatory. It's a sweet school with so many opportunities available.

Georgetown also has the largest presence of interns on Capital Hill (yes even more than Harvard). The networking opportunities are limitless and even if you are not interested in politics many national organizations have their headquarters in DC. Plus there is no other city like DC and if you're going to go to school then Georgetown is the best choice.

While Georgetown may not have the title of an Ivy League (we have been offered multiple times but have declined because we would have to give up our Jesuit identity/philosophy and Big East status) we have the academics to compete with the top and sports teams that could easily beat out any Ivy League school.

Model UN is huge here!!!! We host the largest high school conference in the nation, bringing in students from all over the nation and world. Our traveling time also consistently wins awards at multiple Model UN conferences beating out other top ranking universities.

Georgetown is seriously just the place to be. If you don't believe me, then come visit and let us prove it to you!
