Quite Bright
I was a transfer student to Georgetown thinking I was going to receive a better science education after realizing I wanted to become a doctor. BUT, that was quite wrong. I'm not going to lie - if you're not a science major, it seems like Georgetown has some amazing faculty and people tend to actually really enjoy themselves here. However, as a science student, you spend hours on labs that are very poorly organized and conducted, in which the student TA who knows nothing about the lab is grading your assignments while the professor is too busy to talk to you herself. The premed classes are just awful - HUGE lecture classes of people where the professor stands at the front repeats exactly what is on the power point slides or in the book. Then, the tests have nothing to do with any of it and it gets old really quickly to all of us - trust me, not just me. The administration is very rigid and requirement oriented, which doesn't give you very much control over your own education. I wish I would have gone to Brown university or elsewhere as far as an education goes. However, that being said, the town of Georgetown is amazing and what keeps me going. It's gorgeous and there is soooo much to do in the city. Especially when you're 21, the town is a great place to be socially and it is all so close to campus.

Not so bright
I don't think I can actually put into words how disgusted I am with much of the student body. Some of the worst people to be around and very self-absorbed. After getting to know much of them and giving them a chance, I wish I hadn't. My first negative impressions were actually better than reality.

Super Brilliant
This school blows hard sack. Looking back on the work i put in to get accepted, i easily could have just gone down on a few teacher. In fact, I did. I had a very serious relationship with my philosophy teacher. He taught me the ways of tha kama sutra.
Perceived Campus Safety: A+, Education Quality: F
