Study, Study, Sleep a Little, Study
During the week, I am typically in the library working on papers and lab reports until 2 AM on a regular basis. However, this is normal, and the library is always brimming with activity 24 hours a day. All students take there work seriously, and there is always something to be done. Yet, students are not on their own, as there are a variety of academic resources to take advantage of. Many students study in groups, and professors are available during office hours and by email to answer any questions that a student may have. All the professors are engaging, and truly want to get to know their students. The curriculum is demanding, with a variety of general education requirements, depending on your major. But the workload is often interesting, and never have I felt that an assignment was just "busy work".

Very Diverse in Experiences and Opinions
Diversity is such a key part of the Georgetown experience. You are guaranteed to meet people from all different backgrounds and ideologies. Politics is a subject of notable interest on campus, and there have been many times when I have had discussions with friends about political issues. Every opinion is represented, and you will surely find someone who shares your ideas. Likewise, it is always interesting to converse with someone with different beliefs. This diversity truly molds your view of the world. Due to this diversity, acceptance into the Georgetown community is easy for anyone. However, there is a noticeable white, Catholic, wealthy population on campus- but these students are just as accepting (and intelligent) as everyone else.

Well, It Is College
Most students are going to experiment with alcohol or even drugs during their four years of college. Alcohol is a visible presence on the weekends, especially if one is out partying at upperclassman apartments. But some Hoyas do not drink, and the peer pressure for drinking is nonexistent. In my experience, everyone seems to respect the decision of a student not to drink, and it is a personal decision. There are many other activities on campus that are alcohol-free if a student does not drink. Authorities (mainly, Residence Advisors) are pretty lenient/forgiving, but if you blatantly have alcohol in your possession, then you will get written up. Georgetown also has an on-campus, student-run EMT service that is always available in case of emergencies.
