Campus Safety
The Georgetown neighborhood is the safest in DC. However there are certain precautions that you have to take because you are in a major city. If you venture outside of the Georgetown area, bring a friend. I have never felt unsafe on campus, but still I wouldn't leave my backpack unattended for too long.

Strictness
Campus is really not that strict. If you're not too obvious/stupid you can get away with pretty much anything.

Georgetown Is the Best Place to Go to College!
There is no where else like Georgetown. It is the quintessential work-hard play-hard school; the people are attractive, interesting, and nice; the education is the cream of the crop with amazing and famous professors (Donna Brazile, Madeleine Albright, etc). There is an constant stream of distinguished guest speakers--my first semester I saw Terry McAuliffe, Denis Kucinich, and Hillary Clinton speak on campus and last year Obama gave a major address. You have a intimate campus in a great college town (Georgetown area) in a amazing city (DC). The opportunity here is endless and unparalleled.
(My main complaint is that I wish campus was 100% wireless).

So Many Options
There are so many options on campus. There is unofficial Greek life. About 20 percent of students are involved, so its there but is not the dominant social force on campus. There are on-campus parties thrown by different student organizations. Bars in Georgetown are great, and there are so many awesome spots in the greater DC area to explore. Fake ID is pretty necessary for under 21 crowd.

Relatively Easy
Pretty standard. Usually need at least a 3.0 in major classes prior to declaring.
