I love every minute of GW.BrightFinance
I love every minute of GW. I am a member of the soccer team, a founding father of a fraternity, and I have made frieneds from all around the country. I think that as long as you come into the University with an open mind expecting to try new things and meet people, you will have an amazing 4 years. It is a very different school than the bigger rural schools, which takes time to get used to, but the city can be amazing if you allow it to. There is so much to offer including bars and clubs for the nightlife. I love it and would reccommend it to anyone

Question
GW is a reflection of its students andBrightPreLaw and Legal
GW is a reflection of its students and its city. The Students are often determined, clever, and friendly, but are just as often snooty, condescending, and self-absorbed. Most of the students who attend GW do come from white suburban privileged backgrounds. The city makes GW a center of political discussion and forum for current events. GW is not a place for everyone. But if you're a good student, can afford designer shopping sprees in the Georgetown area, and love living in the city, then maybe GW is for you.
