Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Chemistry  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright I came to GW in a last second decision based on financial aid (yes, it has high tuition but also amazing financial aid making it the most affordable school on my list). GW was a relative match/safety for me, so I really didn't know much about it when I came onto this website and became terrified of what my experience might be like. I was already looking into transferring before I even stepped foot on the campus. Then I actually came here. One thing I would really like to clarify- the people who say that there are kids who drive mercades and BMWs around campus could not be any less true- most people here do not have cars. I also don't understand what people mean when they say the students like to "show they have money." Do you they mean clothes?- I've never noticed anything excessive, maybe I'm just not good at noticing those things. You are less likely to see students wearing sweatpants to class- but that mainly has to do with the campus being on the streets than anything else The people I have made friends with here have been amazing, I have never felt more like I belonged when I am with my friends here It is true- there are snooty and arrogant people, I have met people who are so materialistic I've wanted to punch them: but in my opinion they are in the minority There are some improvements the university could stand to make: I have been unhappy with the dining plan and my adviser Living in DC is amazing- there is always something happening and you do not have to spend too much money to enjoy yourself. The majority of my professors have been dedicated and effective teachers (i do recommend ratemyprofesors.com, because there are some bad apples) So far I have enjoyed every class I have takenI do sometimes wonder if I would be better suited in a campus with rolling hills and a grander campus- but then I think about everything coming here has enabled me: all of the great experiences and amazing people I have met, and I realize that coming here was one of the best decisions I've made Scholastic Success: A+, Individual Value: B- Have a Question?

Mostly self absorbed dumbasses. Coming from an African background I have never before seen people with money that like to show it. In africa no one cared how much money a person had what you had was for you. Kids here seem to be engaged in materialistic items so mcuh its shameful. If I knew the school was like this I would never have come. Although I do like to party have a good time and could match any of these kids dollar to dollar if not more I do not beleive they are worth spending the time effort or energy having meaningless conversations. Although ona positive not most of the gurls here are cute although they tend to look almost identical, it might be the limited amount of designer clothing that they buy (whatever is in season) life here seems to be like a bad hollywood drama. Oh well cest la vie but as in most scenarios u do wut u gotta do and make the best out of it. If you get accepted toa better or similarly ranked schoool I owuld recomend you go there this school si like Georgetown but without GT's high ranking (I go here and yes i cana dmit it GT is a much better school).

I am able to work a full course load and still make time to work for the federal government part time and enjoy the numerous other opportunities at GWU and in DC. Although it is an expensive school it also gives more financial aid than almost any other university in the country. Education Quality: A+, Collaboration/Competitive: B- Have a Question?
