I went to GW wanting to meet smart and worldly people who shared my interest in international affairs and culture.  Basically, it's just a bunch of arrogant, rich, lazy, alcoholics who are not intelligent and won't be friends with you if you can't afford to go clubbing or shopping in Georgetown everyday.  The people are horrible and condiscending to the point where I am considering transferring.  I cannot stress enough how horrible the people are.  I'm not rich and couldn't afford to go clubbing and shopping after the first couple months, and so my “friends” dropped me like “that."

The freshmen dorms are disgusting especially for such a hefty price, and the Vern campus is a waste of space since NO ONE wants to live there.

Even so, the Elliott School has great events and the city itself is great, but AVOID GW!  I even work for the university and would NOT recommend it to a good friend.

On a more academic side, the classes should have been more challenging and the teachers more engaged with their students.  No one takes GW seriously as I skipped the last half of one of my classes and still got at A! 

Also the food plan at the dining hall is overpriced.  So don't go here.
