Georgetown University

This review is on the campus and walkability of Georgetown University, not the academics, which are indisputably excellent. That said, the campus is a bit worn and in need of some renovations. It’s on a hill so you will get your exercise if you walk here. The buildings are almost all brick with forgettable architecture. Of course the nearby city of Georgetown is lovely and lively so there’s that.

Beautiful campus well maintained. Although old it still has many modern buildings and they are always improving. Lots of history there. No subway stop at the campus but nonetheless is worth going over there. Campus bookstore is huge.

For the record, I didn't go to school here, but I've only heard good things. From a tourist's perspective, there's plenty of neat architecture on campus. It's in one of the older sections of Washington DC, so definitely worth checking out.

Georgetown University, located in Washington, D.C., is a prestigious private Jesuit research institution founded in 1789. It is the oldest Catholic university in the United States and is renowned for its academic excellence and commitment to social justice. The university offers a wide range of programs across undergraduate, graduate, and professional levels, with strengths in fields such as international relations, law, medicine, and business. Georgetown is celebrated for its interdisciplinary approach and its emphasis on global engagement. Its campus, situated in the historic Georgetown neighborhood, combines historic charm with modern facilities, creating an inspiring environment for learning and discovery. Georgetown's diverse community of students and faculty fosters cultural exchange and intellectual growth.

Spectacular buildings and college vibes. They're pretty loaded, so worth applying to see what tuition subsidies you can get even if you think you can't afford a smarmy private school. Many class sizes are small so lots of opportunity to actually talk to profs and TAs, and a diversity of fun student groups to be part of. Worst part is the student population disproportionately represents the most obnoxious zip codes and tax brackets in the country. Many more "normal" folks can find the right support groups to help beat the imposter syndrome and compete for the good jobs, but you may have to work a little harder to navigate this environment.

Georgetown University is an academic gem nestled in the vibrant heart of Washington, D.C. This historic institution is not just a place of learning but a true haven for those seeking knowledge and growth. The stunning campus itself is a sight to behold. From the iconic Healy Hall with its striking architecture to the lush green spaces, Georgetown offers a serene and inspiring environment conducive to both study and reflection. Walking through the cobbled streets and tree-lined pathways, you can feel the history and tradition that permeates every corner. As a student, I can vouch for the exceptional quality of education here. The professors are not only experts in their fields but also passionate educators who genuinely care about their students' success. The diverse range of programs and courses ensures that there's something for everyone, from the humanities to the sciences. What sets Georgetown apart is its commitment to service and social justice. The university's Jesuit values are reflected in its dedication to making a positive impact on society. Whether it's through community service, international programs, or research initiatives, Georgetown encourages students to be global citizens and change-makers. Georgetown's prime location in the nation's capital offers unparalleled opportunities for internships, networking, and cultural enrichment. The proximity to government institutions, NGOs, and multinational corporations opens doors to a world of possibilities for career development. Moreover, the Georgetown community is incredibly welcoming and inclusive. The diverse student body hails from all corners of the globe, enriching the campus with a variety of perspectives and cultures. The sense of belonging and camaraderie among students is truly remarkable. In summary, Georgetown University is more than just an institution; it's a transformative experience. If you're looking for a top-notch education in a picturesque setting with a strong commitment to service and social responsibility, look no further. Georgetown is where you'll find academic excellence, personal growth, and a supportive community all in one place.

Amidst the Thanksgiving holiday, a frosty breeze dances outside, yet the captivating aura of this school still shines through. It truly feels like stepping into Hogwarts Castle!

During my first visit for my daughter, I was surprised with it’s importance. The campus was overall beautiful, so much history in the architecture. Very friendly students and staff that were willing to help with directions. Definitely would encourage my kids to apply. 👍👍

Amazing University. The grounds are beautiful with lots of open space. Buildings must be 150 plus year old and revamped on the inside. It's amazing when places in the US keep old buildings like they do in much of the rest of the world instead of ripping them down and rebuilding. Interesting face ... there is a graveyard on site in the school. There is a sign that says, lifelong supporters. I have not spent a lot of time here but it's amazing to walk and run through with lots of history to check out. I think this is a law-only school.

Former Hoya Mac McClung electrified and shocked the NBA by winning the Slam Dunk Contest. Following Allen Iverson from Virginia to Georgetown, he did what was necessary. He struggled to make it to the NBA by doing all that was possible. He joined NBA greats yesterday by doing what most would consider impossible. Dogged sacrifice in the new economy.

The campus is wonderful (and massive). The stadium is massive. I attended a basketball game that the Hoyas were playing at Capital One Arena. The cheering was great. I can only imagine how exciting a game on their own turf would be. The language building is impressive. The teachers are nice. My only slight discomfort was being in a classroom that was too hot. There are stations on each hall where students can study and recharge their devices. The artwork is nice. The students were respectful and nice. If you park in the garage DO NOT lose your ticket. We weren't issued a ticket and had to find the office to pay. A nice faculty member escorted us. The grounds include a volley ball court and a barbecue area. The buildings are beautiful.

I met up with my cousin, who was going to school here. She gave me the usual tour of campus and we ate lunch at the cafeteria. Hmm. Reasonably priced for students and staff. Nice campus. She loves the medical program there. It's a decent size campus and offers decent transportation for staff and students too. She seemed very comfortable and at ease. I felt rest assured she was all well on campus here.

Mixed opinions about Georgetown, but in the end it all comes down to the institution, the neighborhood and the architecture. Georgetown has classic and benevolent pasts. It's a Catholic school, therefore no idea how dated the sciences curriculums are, but I know their language, literature and social studies departments are very warmly received. Gothic seems to be the architecture of the campus grounds. Most buildings face due East, open with their grounds and parks towards the Capitol. In the winters, Georgetown is gray and comes alive during the spring time. Georgetown is on a steep hill. Expect to do much walking, hiking and all about strolling. Georgetown seems to be more insulated and closed toward the outside neighborhood, and therefore is not as 'homey' as let's say a Brown University or Harvard's Cambridge. A few restaurants and sandwich shops are scattered here and there - but to get stores and bars one has to venture down the hill to the intersections of M Street and Wisconsin Ave. This University is perched atop a long history of accomplishments and of avid learners, as well as well-known leaders and intellectuals. To me, this school has always held, just a bit too high a place of regard, given how many students are able to attend internationally, with little English. Rebel review: 4

This is a beautiful campus. Absolutely awesome. I came during graduation weekend in May 2018. My sister graduated from GWU the previous day (on May 17th) but I was in the Georgetown neighbourhood on Friday (May 18th) to have lunch with a friend. I was walking around the campus with my friend who went to graduate school here a few years ago. I stopped by Healy Hall to use the bathroom...haha. According to Wikipedia, this hall "is a National Historic Landmark and the flagship building of the main campus of Georgetown University in Washington, D.C." Who knew such a fun fact? How cool that I got to see one of the main buildings on campus and I didn't even know it at the time I was there (what a coincidence). While I was standing outside of Healy Hall, I felt like I was in a Harry Potter movie because the building has an old, almost gothic look to it from the outside. It looks like a castle in its grandeur state. I entered Healy Hall with a suitcase and clearly did not look like a graduate but everyone I encountered was so warm and friendly. Two people even showed me where the bathroom was. Besides being a top University, the campus is beautiful to walk around in. I almost felt history echoing through the walls as I walked inside Healy Hall. I remember peaking into classrooms as I walked down a hallway and imagined myself being a student here. It was also nice to hang out inside because it was raining outside and I was waiting for my Uber driver. I encourage you to visit the campus and admire all the beautiful buildings. Sidenote - Ahhh, I love campus buildings and school in general...haha. **** This is my 118th Yelp review overall. 72 reviews for 2018. I am aiming for 100 reviews in 2018.

I got a master of arts degree at Georgetown in one of its less-prestigious schools (i.e. not the School of Foreign Service or McDonough Business School). The education was mediocre at best. I had some great teachers, don't get me wrong, but the curriculum was not particularly rigorous. My BA in the same subject (at a state school) was far more difficult. I thought I would be building on my prior knowledge, but alas didn't; furthermore, the cohort size of almost 50 meant I also didn't build particularly close relationships with professors or feel like the environment fostered stimulating discussions. Most of the students were foreign, which I have no problem with, and in fact was one of the best parts. Yet the large class size, the proportion of students from abroad, and the lack of structure and support in the program gave the impression the degree was mostly hawking the name for our resumes, in exchange for exorbitant fees (and for some students providing visas). My one-year program cost over $50,000 for what I would call a decent, but not stellar, education. Having researched and applied to state schools in my home state, I came away feeling like I could have gotten a better education for about a tenth of the cost (not including the expense of living in DC, one of the most expensive metro areas in the country). And yet. Since graduating several years ago I can't help but acknowledge that, indeed, having Georgetown on my resume helps. I hear "Ooooo, Georgetown" from time to time, and get the feeling I've gotten some interviews I wouldn't have without it. I had a great time going there, and loved living in DC; however, I think I would have enjoyed any master's program, and could have had fun living in other major American cities. What frustrates me about Georgetown is that I subscribed to the charade that is elite education--and it works. While I don't think I should be treated any different than someone who went to the University of Vermont, I am. And that is exactly what I paid for. So if you are thinking of applying, I'd say this: it is expensive, and the education isn't any better than somewhere else, but it works. It gives you the gravitas and credibility that comes in handy sometimes. Just like a Louis Vuitton handbag, people will be impressed by it, and will know it is a fancy brand name, but in the end a cheap tote bag holds stuff just as well and costs way less money. The campus is funny, visually. When you walk in the main entrance you are met by a beautiful scene. There is a grassy courtyard, spotted with gorgeous old trees (as long as it isn't winter). Around the perimeter are magnificent, imposing, stone buildings that make you feel as if the place is of historical consequence. Yet as soon as you leave this courtyard the rest of the builds are drab brick-and-or-concrete rectangles. The architectural style could be best described as boring (besides the business school, of course, which is a giant, modern, glass monstrosity). Thus the school is sort of like a Potemkin village. It looks very impressive at first glance, but upon further inspection is rather mundane. The same can be said of the education. Five stars for teaching me a lesson about the economics of brands, for all the fun I had, for having a nice courtyard, and for probably helping me get a job.

Wow it was so cool getting to stomp around the grounds and buildings of this amazing university. The architecture and history of the buildings is just overwhelming. I loved getting to trek through and soak up all of the knowledge surrounding me. So many books lol! It's something fun and much less touristy to check out.

This university is beautiful architectures is beautiful to see. The entrance is impressive for anyone to enjoy, if you go by yard theres few benches to sit and have lunch. The statues in front of the school is picture perfect place.

The student lounge located on the ground floor is very modern with an open architecture consisting of glass walls giving the lounge natural lighting. This is a great place just to eat after getting grub at vital vittles. Although, at times, especially during exam times, it becomes noisy, but that's what you would expect for a student lounge, right?

I went there for a health event. There are not maps everywhere. I had to walk around in cold strong winds... Buildings are mix of old and new ones. Some of them like a maze. Some have way too steep and narrow stairs, which must be hard for old ppl. Many benches and chairs to relax. I got to find an information desk. They are nice and tell me directions clearly. I parked free for this event but I don't know how much it is usually. Just like the name, Georgetown shopping area is in a walking distance.

Fantastic university with a stellar reputation and a beautiful campus adjacent to the nation's capitol. Green common areas make it feel like a suburban campus and oasis rather than an Ivy League institution mere footsteps away from the US seat of power.

It's kind of weird to write a review about a school on Yelp. There I said it. But I noticed my alma mater popped up on a recent search when I was in the area, so fuck it - I'll post my two cents about this (great) school. I had a lot of options when I was deciding on where to attend college, but from the start I always wanted to attend GU. Partially because I grew up as a huge Hoya basketball fan, but also because of its solid academic reputation. One of the best parts of attending GU was the great stable of teachers and mentors here. Not only were my professors generally well-informed about their respective fields, but they were also very supportive to me and their personal passions about the subject really cultivated certain interests that continue to this day. I also appreciated the great support and life advice that the Jesuit priests here offered to the students. Another big plus of GU was the excellent campus environment and its proximity to Georgetown. Nowadays unfortunately the area is full of expensive boutique stores, but back in the day there were more modest-priced mom & pop stores that really gave this part of town a cool vibe. Not to say it's still not a great hangout place today, but it was different back then when we were more focused about getting a cheap tasty cheesesteak from the local joint (that's long gone) than waiting on line for an hour to get a Georgetown cupcake. But I digress. This school really offers a good balance for most students. They have a solid academic teaching staff, good campus environment, great location in the nation's capitol, plenty of extracurricular options and a solid athletic program. Hoya Saxa!

I took a taxi here from Arlington, VA. Heads up, it's about a $15 ride. The campus is gorgeous. It's not that big. Even the hills on campus were easily walk-able. I didn't get a chance to try the tour, mainly because I couldn't find the visiting center--believe me, I checked the directories, but the place that denoted visiting information was closed! It wasn't much of a big deal for me, I'd rather just go at my own pace and on my own anyways. So, the first place I found myself in was a building that housed the conference rooms and the Faculty Club Restaurant. Goodness, I felt like I was at a hotel rather than a university! Faculty Club Restaurant--it's a buffet for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I had their buffet lunch. Their clam chowder was at a great consistency with fresh ingredients! I'd have gone for more if I wasn't so full! The entrees were your traditional American food--mixed vegetables, mac & cheese--this could've had more seasoning, roast beef, green bean casserole, fried chicken, etc. They also had a salad bar--seriously, first time I had brussel sprouts at a salad bar, various olives to choose from, and a bunch of different types of cheese! However, my favorite part of this buffet was their DESSERT table. You get everything from cheesecake to cookies to pies to cakes! YUM! Ambiance: Casual--you're rubbing elbows with business people, physicians, attendees of the conference in the next door ballrooms. Personally, this is a good place, but I don't see myself eating here for lunch on a next visit. I'm just not hungry enough for an expensive buffet to make it worth my money. As you go around the campus, you pass by the fields, Business Building, Medical Center, and Nursing and Health Centers to name a few. Everyone is so courteous here, and they don't hesitate on giving you directions. They'd also take your picture if you'd ask! My favorite part of the campus was their old cathedral like buildings! Juxtapose those with numerous brick buildings, and you have the architecture of GU. Super happy I was able to check finally check this visit off my bucket list--it's been a long time coming, but it was totally worth it!

Visited with my daughter for GAAP weekend. I love the scenery & the history of the campus. Great location near the Potomac River & Key Bridge. M St with all it's shops & restaurants are like less than 10 minute walking distance from campus. The student volunteers & staff were great & helpful. The campus is not a big campus so it was easy to navigate around. The buildings were tall & beautiful. Only at Georgetown you walk out of campus heading down O St you pass by John Kerry's residence. Healy Hall at the entrance is a beautiful building. Right out front you can catch the G2 bus heading to DuPont Circle metro. Also students, faculty, staff,& visitors can ride the GUTS bus making stops Rosslyn, DuPont Circle, & Georgetown for free. So Georgetown University is accessible by metro you just have to know how to use the system...which you can find help online or by downloading a metro bus app.

Had very poor interaction with one of your employees, Joel Teitelbaum. He was extremely rude and it makes me wonder how well he represents the unviersty. If he is anything like other employees, one would want to rethink why they were paying to much to attend such an institution. His lack of communication was only underlined the the total lack of accountablity he displayed.

Overall a great campus but lacking solid food options. The business school is nice, but needs some updates in the classrooms and breakout rooms. The GUTS bus is a plus if you live in Rosslyn or DuPont. The fitness center is updated with new workout equipment and there is a nice indoor pool.

Hello, I decided to enroll in their Master's in Program and Portfolio Managment program. If you are an experienced professional in this field, my advice is to keep looking. The professor who envisioned this program is stellar. I cannot say that for the other so-called instructors. My advice is to save your money (which is quite a lot) and find another program that has been in existence for awhile.This is the first year for this program and it shows. Bugs in the technology, courses which are mirror images of each other, and so-called professor who need to realize they are instructing professionals with many years of experience in these fields. I cannot nor while I recommend this program to anyone.

I've only visited the campus, so this review is for the campus itself, not the university! The campus is pretty fairly organized and structured, around the main building. The main building, Healy, looks like something you would see in Europe, specifically in Germany. It's a beautiful building, from the gargoyles to the clock and the history that it have seen.

What a privilege it was to be able to attend college at Georgetown University! From the moment I first set foot on the main campus for a guided tour, I was enchanted by the fresh air and spiritual vibe of the campus. In addition to the atmosphere, what really attracted me to Georgetown was the emphasis placed on teaching undergraduates. Sitting in on classes (during an open house and during the regular school year), I was impressed by how much the professors had a passion for teaching their area(s) of expertise--a truly defining characteristic over other universities to which I was admitted. At GU, the philosophy of broad liberal arts education to nurture a well-rounded individual with service to the community meshed with my core values. Plus, being a local meant that it was commutable via Metro/school bus shuttle or car ride from home. Of course, the prestige of the university and legacy of the men's basketball team certainly didn't hurt, either ;-P As for the experience, it was an unforgettable four years of growing as a student of life and academics/research as well as a budding professional. In the College of Arts & Sciences, there was great flexibility in being able to take electives (including other schools) and major(s)/minor(s) across a wide spectrum of subjects. The majority of my professors were outstanding teachers who made their specialties come to life and relevant by bringing theories out into "the real world." Extracurricular opportunities were diverse and the opportunity to start-up a new one (at least, during my time) was tremendous. Being a Hoya helped me to network with the heads of leaders in my field (not government, by the way ;-D) and expand my horizons I previously did not image. After graduating, I have seen lots of improvements to the infrastructure with the building of a new arts center, athletic field, business school and science buildings. Georgetown is especially nice to visit on the weekends when parking is free in the lot under the Southwest Quad (second entrance after driving through the Canal Road rear entrance) or near the tennis courts after going through the Canal Road entrance (passing the underground parking entrances). GU is easily accessible by Metro then campus shuttle ride (Red Line to Dupont Circle, where the shuttle awaits on Massachusetts Ave near 20th St; Blue/Orange Line to Rosslyn Metro).

Review No. 300 is dedicated to LT and R, two of my favorite Hoyas. I first came to Washington, DC, when I was 16 years old. A junior in high school with no interest in politics whatsoever, I fell hopelessly, head-over-heels in love with the city and instantly decided I would spend the rest of my life there. College, I thought, would provide the perfect four-year trial period. GWU never responded to my request for an application. Their loss was most certainly my gain. Georgetown is the place that stretched my mental boundaries more than ever before; where I learned to be confident in my own skin; where I learned to see and love people as characters constantly orchestrating their own narratives. It's where I learned to shower through mud and fruit flies; where I ran to the coffeeshop through Hurricane Isabelle because the rain made me want a latte. It was midnight snowball fights on Copley Lawn, studying on Healy Beach on hot spring days, and the scent of cheap beer and vomit from the Village A rooftops. It's where I first laid eyes on the love of my life, five years ago, in Leo O'Donovan Hall. It's where I met some of my best friends in the entire world; where I learned that the world does not revolve a single individual, but each of us singly make it go round. Georgetown made me who I am today, and now more than ever, I know just how lucky I am that it's apart of me as much as I'm apart of it.

Gorgeous campus, nice location. Worth dropping by to see even if you're just a tourist and not attending here or thinking about attending. It's not super-accessible and is definitely not Metro-accessible, unlike GWU, so get to know the city bus line unless you want to take a 5-mile hike on hills to get to the place. If you actually go here, you'll know that some of the classrooms are good, some suck, facilities wise, and that the on-campus food selections are pretty bleak (though there is, or at least last time I was there was, a nice student coffeehouse with good coffee) so you better hope you have room in your schedule to hoof it up to Wisey's or similar. Sadly, I did not. If you get really into it and decide to picnic on the lawn, watch out for the squirrels as they WILL mug you for that cookie in your hand. 'Nuff said.

I love the old buildings so I made sure that my family came to Georgetown University.

Great education, horrible place to live! DC has just not panned out to be the city that I thought it was. The school itself is well furnished and I learned a lot while I was there. I had mostly all positive experiences with professors here so it not difficult to get help from them. But when you're being lazy, they know it. They do summer work programs where you get paid next to nothing but have free housing. I had fun when I did it! Looks great on your resume as well!

Hoya Saxa! Final Four 2008, San Antonio! Roy, PE Jr, HOLLA!

Beautiful campus - I wish I was young again so I could rethink my college selection and go here. Surrounding by a beautiful town - Georgetown - so quaint and historic looking...definitely has the European feel that I love. The kids here are so lucky - beautiful grounds and campus - the main buildings in the entry of the campus are beautiful. The main building looks like something out of a Harry Potter movie - very grand, ornate, and old - very cool indeed.

Im writing this review based on a visit and not as a student. After walking down M Street, I finally got to Georgetown. Great little area and hopefully one day I will be able to live there. Gerogetown University isnt a really big campus so I did manage to get an entire tour of the campus. The grounds are beautiful and the student life seems to be honorary. One this visit, it was the day after graduation and the student were all trying to move out of there dorms. It was crazy! The campus center is large with plenty of food places to eat, the large bookstore and plenty of studying areas. Yes...studying areas! At this price for tuition you better be studying since Georgetown is a private college. If you are luck to be in the area, tour the campus and check out the historic buildings and beautiful grounds.

Worst university in the country. I don't understand why anyone would even consider going. The campus is hideous and dreary. The people are rude and stuck up. The quality of education was better at my high school. When I was on campus, I tried asking several people for directions and everyone ignored me. Additionally, the neighborhood is just boring. There's nothing to do. Nothing. The weather certainly doesn't help. It's freezing all the time and a horrible environment to be in. I felt like I was getting sick every time I got outside. Basically, if you want to attend a toxic and freezing university, go to Georgetown!

My wife and I have had up and down experiences with the graduate department here but the bottom line is that Georgetown is amazing. It's a whole different world when you step on a campus.

Gorgeous campus right by the river!

Georgetown is especially nice to visit on the weekends when parking is free in the lot under the Southwest Quad (second entrance after driving through the Canal Road rear entrance) or near the tennis courts after going through the Canal Road entrance (passing the underground parking entrances).

So for my 200th review, I figured I should pay tribute to the reason that I'm in DC at all. It's going to come as a surprise to everyone who knows me, but despite never wanting to revisit campus or its immediate surroundings, despite not knowing the fight song, despite it never, ever really having been my scene--I am a Hoya for life and I do actually, deep down, love Georgetown. After all, Georgetown's enriched my life in so many ways. It was there, among the century-old bricks and lush grass, the chalky classrooms with their crucifixes and ticking clocks, that I met some amazing people, friends whom I'd trust with my life, where I weathered some extreme mental meltdowns, and learned a couple of things, both in class and out. I've stomped on the Seal in frustration, jumped in Dahlgren fountain, broken into Old North to find the secret underground tunnels, smoked on LXR rooftop overlooking the twinkling lights of DC spreading before me like the endless future, hurled frisbees around Copley Lawn, ruined beautiful springtime wedding photos among drifts of snowy blossoms in Dahlgren Quad, kissed someone at midnight barefoot beneath the early summer sprinklers scattering cool droplets across my skin, survived the last days of the Dirty South, stumbled around the Village A rooftops, gravel shifting beneath my feet and the velvet black sky spinning like a carousel, peals of laughter spilling into the night, smoked endless cigarettes outside the abomination that is Lauinger, where I killed many, many braincells with caffeine and redbull, picked greedily at chocolate chip muffins, and moulded thousands of tortured words into semi-coherent term papers. Georgetown has given me enough memories to carry me to the future. What is there not to love?

This maybe is my favorite place in the whole wide world. It's beautiful, interesting and fun. Love Georgetown

Georgetown University wow. What a really cool historic University. My uncle went here and is a graduate of the University and is a lawyer. I have been to this university two times and every time that I have been here there's always something new I discover. I did not attend this university to prestigious for my liking. But I have been to the campus at Harvard University and I know that Harvard was the only other campus that is comparable to the architecture of Georgetown. I guess if you can get into this university you're pretty much guaranteed a good job. But anyway the university is very nice to walk around there's a lot of flowers and they do a good job of keeping up with the landscaping you can walk from the University to a downtown area where there is different shops and restaurants. You can also walk to the Potomac River from this university. On my last trip here I noticed that The Georgetown crew team was out on the river rolling so I watch them for a little bit. From an architectural standpoint the buildings at this university are very aesthetically pleasing in and I have been to the Harvard campus and Harvard is the only other campus that I have been to that is comparable to the architecture here. I noticed the majority of the people that were walking around the campus were dressed really nicely not like other college campuses where you have people that sometimes dress like bums. Overall if you're in the area I highly recommend that you come to this university to experience the architecture and just the campus itself the people are friendly and there's always something new to see at Georgetown.

beautiful campus and a great shopping experience. with a free day for my close up trip to dc i just had to check this place out. i was actually able to sneak into the gym during a basketball practice and met alonzo mourning and was then escorted out by security fast. if i ever had the grades or the money i would get my degree here but too late for that.

Shady parking services ever. On May 1, 2015, I parked in an area where no signs indicated that I couldn't park there (I have photographs). I was parked for less than 2 hours and received $150 ticket. The process is completely messed up. You have to pay the fine before you can appeal. I refused to do so: Why should I pay when I didn't do anything wrong? They were going to keep my money no matter what. Six months later after not hearing anything from Georgetown, I receive a nasty citation notice from a parking firm (i.e. collection agency) in California requesting the parking fine. I paid it because I had no other choice yet I sent the photos and the letter explaining that I received a parking ticket for parking in an area that didn't have one single sign that said no parking. I know there is underground parking (that only takes cash...which is another story), and I would have gladly paid to park there; however, I was parking in a lot that wasn't restricted and didn't provide any notice to the users that parking was forbidden. THEY JUST WANTED MY MONEY!!! I'm not upset about the $150 (which I would like back); however, I'm upset that they feel it's okay to ticket people who have no notice that a lot is off limits. I follow the rules, GU Parking Services should, too. Next time: UBER Next step...trying to appeal with the parking collection agency.

So much I could say about this place, but in the interest of not boring the reader I will simply say that every day that I walk across this campus and every moment that I spend in class I feel deeply grateful and truly blessed.

Such a beautiful campus and easily walkable. I think my favorite park of this area are the nearby houses that were built in the early 1800s.

I'm a high school student and I came here for College Prep. Had a fantastic time! And the campus is absolutely GORGEOUS.

I want to go to this school just so I can see Healy Hall everyday. The architecture of this school is absolutely amazing! Hoya Saxa!

The campus is beautiful and the architecture and design is very impressive. Walking around can be a little difficult due to lack of paths

I am EFL student! I love GU! Amazing history, really interesting student life, very beautiful campus and architecture.

I loved my experience as a student here! Georgetown encourages students to think beyond themselves and give back to the world. If you can get in - Go to GU!

Love it! I was a student here and it was absolutely a wonderful time!

better than going to howard in gutta guttaVille i fell like i might get shot everytime i go there to pick up my friend i feel like i might get shot by one of the hoods

A well-regarded school, and this is located in a town with limited competition here in the deep South. It's 35th national ranking is fairly strong, as a third tier school. An internal administration study (Spring 09) concluded that the gradeflation of A -grades being awarded to over 60% of the students points to the school being far less competitive than deemed. The programs with the highest regard, School of Foreign Service, Dept. of Linguistics, are such programs where an A is the average grade given to undergraduates, & graduate students. This is not well known outside of the university, but the internal Administration has been concerned for awhile about gradeflation
