I almost transferred from Georgetown University, but ultimately stayed — it was the best decision I ever made.  If my four years have taught me anything, Georgetown is what you make of it.  I have met some of the most amazing, inspiring people and I have also met complete and utter entitled pricks.  It is up to you to decide whether you want to let the latter stand in the way of the former — my experience got infinitely better once I decided to ignore the pricks and hang with those that amazed me.

Georgetown has an incredible city — DC — as its backdrop.  Your experience will be better if you use it.  Georgetown has a brilliant faculty that, often, deeply cares about you.  Your experience will be better if you find a mentor and a department that you love.  Georgetown students are active and involved in many different clubs.  Your experience will be better if you participate.  Georgetown is challenging, yet highly rewarding.  Your experience will be worth it if you let it open your eyes.

I graduated a few weeks ago and I must say that I attribute everything to Georgetown.  But, it takes hard work.  There will be sleepless nights.  There will questions about whether this is the right place for you.  There will be tons of work and an onslaught of less than pleasant personalities.  But, for every bad situation, there is an amazing college town, the best friends you'll ever make, and the most rewarding academic situation you can find.  This is a school for hard workers and proactive individuals.  If you are one of them — I hope you become a Hoya too.  I'm glad I did.
