I'm not sure this was put into the previous comment. Do not work to get in here. Go to a cheaper school. This was not my first choice school and came here because I am from a small town, am used to smaller schools, but am also open to experience (i.e. Northern Californian). Thus, I came to the east coast. If you are from California, I do not recommend it. It is a much more stressful and thus depressing environment. The work is superfluous, redundant, and unenlightened. Things have not changed here in way too long. Georgetown needs to catch up with the rest of the world. My mind has been too many out-dated ideas and youth is quite ignored. One class I have received benefit from is actually in education. Happiness is sapped from everyone I seem to meet. I have only made it to my senior year because of a little underground group of friends, who are actually genuine. It is a mildly sexist and racist atmosphere. As well as elitist.

My primary problem with Georgetown is its lack of understanding of psychology, especially of human nature. Being from California, I find that after spending four years here, I have become depressed and have been in a suicidal state of mind. I too was also quite pleased with Georgetown to begin with, but then again, how we perceive things is often related to our current state of mind. Maybe I'm just in a bad mood right now :-D. Another problem I have with this school is its deficiency in math and science. Given that math is a universal law and language, I cannot quite comprehend how it is not emphasized. The library is the ugliest interpretive piece of art I have ever witnessed. I actually cannot study there. Long story short: needs more mathematical structure to the school (beauty in math). I was also unfortunately separated from my class my freshman year and put into a sophomore and junior dorm with scant other freshman. I was harassed and alcohol is way too prevalent here. Apparently it is new and exciting to most of Georgetown's students. I'm Irish, I'm used to it.
