GWU is definitely not what I expected.  Of course, the atmosphere of being in the heart of DC can't be matched, even by the other universities in DC; this is GW's major strength.  The student body is somewhat snooty and arrogant, but not as bad as I expected.  It is very diverse, yet surprisingly cliquey.  Greek life has grown a lot and definitely dominates many aspects of campus/social life; this has been frustrating as a non-Greek who was under the impression that Greek life has a smaller presence here.  There is a serious lack of intelligent people here.  Many students have a sense of entitlement and conversation with them is rarely intellectually stimulating.  The professors are hit or miss, with many having interesting day jobs which can be both good and bad for the students; homework is usually busywork and does not improve critical thinking abilities.  I am an International Affairs/Econ major and some of my classes have been interesting but generally are not.  In all, GW is not at all what I was hoping for, and I would have chosen another school and have even considered transferring.
