I like it here. The dorms are quite nice. There's loads to do, especially due to GW's close proximity to Georgetown, all the DC museums(including the Smithsonian), and many theatres. The academics are really strong(at least from what I can see) and The Elliot School is top in the nation for International Affairs. The Journalism School is highly respected.

My professors are really interesting and bring something exciting to the table. One of my friends had a presidential advisor for his class. I want to get him next year. With all of the outlets in DC, there's so much real-life learning. For instance, I went to the Smithsonian with my Anthropology professor. The internships are really good, too.

The students are very hard-working and motivated here. The student body is the most politically active in the nation, which shouldn't be a shock considering that it's 3 blocks from the white house. Student government is a big deal here, and there's lots of outlets for future journalists with The award-winning student newspaper, television coverage of Inside Politics, and a strong student radio. There's so many student associations on top of that.

The campus is really neat. Even if you don't want to go to GW I recommend just touring it. There's trolley rides offered by the university that take you to most national monuments. The quad on campus is pretty when covered with snow, and the many art/DC festivals(Cherryblossom) are so relaxed and enjoyable.

I love GWU. I understand it's not for everyone, but I still highly recommend it.
