To be fair, GW does not lack in smart people but idiots either. The normal workload is 5 courses/semester, though not really that challenging.
Scholastic Success: A+, Collaboration/Competitive: B

Great college town! One of the best experiences you could have at any school. Stimulating, engaging students, a very solid education. Proud to be here. Never wanted the snooty Georgetown experience....sorry GT, I never applied to your school! This is a private, east coast school, so you're obviously going to get the wealthy-intense and overly concerned with dress & image, and of course self-inflated importance! But, regardless of that, there are "normal" people here and you have to find them. Again, solid education...wouldn't go anywhere else for undergrad.
Social Life: A+, Scholastic Success: F

There are a lot of very intelligent students, A good number of them smart--these people succeed if you over-work yourself, and/or have no social life. Then the other half of students are not total dummies but just plain lazy and work the system to their advantage by cheating their way through. The professors are usually arrogant but if they like you (you kiss their *ss*s) they will help you out and treat you like you should own the world. Then a quarter of the students struggle, smart or not, because they never adapt to the engineering program and dealing with the two extremes of students--and the SEAS department does little to offset this.
