As a freshman at GWU, I have to say it has been amazing. I love DC and everything it has to offer. I love that I can walk to the Lincoln memorial and just people watch and study on a Sunday afternoon. I love that I can go to a protest at the White House or go flyering on K street and still get back to campus for a class later that afternoon. Th DC metro is so nice, and practically all the museums are free. I am living on the mount vernon campus and I actually really like it. The dorms are really nice. Everyone dogs on gwu for not having a traditional campus and as a freshman on the vern I got to experience a "green" campus with a quad ect. which was nice but honestly I really love the Foggy Bottom Campus too. Its not just random buildings on different streets gwu does have an identifiable campus in the city. Classes are challenging but most professors want you to succeed. Kids take their studies seriously. I think we have a work hard play hard attitude. Yes, there are a lot of upper-middle class white kids from new jersey, new york, and massachusetts but there is also an incredible amount of diversity. I love that a professor in my econ class can just ask a student from china for their opinion on the economic situation there. The other great thing is everyone is really ambitious, like everyone is a student leader in some way. There are speakers on every subject that come to gwu to lecture throughout the week. Ambassadors, authors, politicians, you could go to an event virtually everyday of the week. The social life is pretty awesome. Greek life is big but you won't feel alone if you don't rush or pledge. You can pretty much find at least two to four frat parties happening on friday and saturday every week. UPD wont bust them. Clubs are huge in DC. Thur, Fri, and Sat, if you want to go out there will be at least one 18+ option. but they can get expensive. A lot of people party but I know a good amount of people who don't drink and they have lots of friends and a life.

I would like to add my experience to your review. I liked that this university is very attentive to the support of young people in socialization and communication. This was the period when I learned to find new contacts with the help of bbwtodate.com. I love that our campus was open to our guests and it gave me a lot of new opportunities.
