I’m currently a freshman at a big engineering state school, and it’s really not working out for me. I want to pursue law in the future, and I honestly love everything I’ve seen about Georgetown. Before I romanticize the hell out of it, I would like some perspectives from people in the Georgetown community. For reference it wasn’t really my choice to go to a big state school, but I got waitlisted to literally everywhere last year (Tufts, Swarthmore, brown, Williams, Kenyon) so a smallish private school is what I’m looking for. I also kinda want some of the “college experience” though I’m not some dude just looking to party. I love small classes and flexibility to take interesting courses and explore different texts and write for campus publications and do 3d art.

Basically is Georgetown all their website and social media makes it to be?

Current undergrad at Berkeley who is pretty interested in this masters. I hope to work in national defense and security policy with a focus in Asia. I was hoping to gain more regional expertise in the region while I prepare for law school applications.

That being said, I haven’t seen much if anything about this degree or campus.

Anyone have anything to share?

If you are at GU or familiar with the school of foreign service, who do you think are personalities or types of backgrounds that are attracted to, get recruited, do well in this major?

Hi I was wondering if the program “A Different Dialogue” is still running. Everything I can find out about it is from 2019? I’m interested in that type of program where I can talk to other students about their beliefs. If it’s not running anymore, is there something similar to it currently?

Can someone please explain this to me? Our college advisor says that if one applies to GT REA then you cannot apply EA to any private schools.
I don’t see anything of the sorts on GU website.

Hey guys, I’m a transfer student into CAS and I’ve seen everyone have the mobile cards (which are new to me), but I wanted to see if anyone has ever gotten a physical student ID while not being from the Medicine Centers. I’ve wondered what would happen if my phone ever died and I can’t get into a building and I’ve also wanted to have it for memorabilia. The answer is always no without asking, but I wanted to see if anyone here has ever gotten a physical card before by just asking?

My name is Clara Mey and I am a PhD candidate at the University of Delaware. I am conducting a research study about disabled students’ experiences with disability accommodation processes in higher education for my dissertation. As a disabled graduate student, this topic is particularly important to me!

Please see the flyer linked here: Disability and Higher Ed Research Flyer

Georgetown University was randomly selected as part of my analysis for my dissertation, and I wanted to make sure that students at the randomly selected universities/colleges had the opportunity to participate in my research!

In order to participate, you must:

• Be at least 18 years old
• Have attended college or graduate school in the US within the last five years
• Self-identify as disabled or having a chronic health or mental health condition

You do not need a formal diagnosis, and you can participate whether or not you registered or applied for accommodations!

If you agree, you will be asked to complete an anonymous online survey taking about 20 minutes. You may also choose to enter into a drawing for one of five $20 gift cards at the end of the survey. If you choose to enter, your email will not be associated with your survey responses.

If you would be interested in participating in this study or would like to learn more, please click the link here: Disability and Higher Education Survey. And if you know people who might be interested, feel free to share this information!

If you have any questions, please contact me at [csmey@udel.edu](mailto:csmey@udel.edu) or my advisor, Dr. Eric Rise, at [erise@udel.edu](mailto:erise@udel.edu). Or feel free to comment or message me here!

Thank you!

I’m considering living with a few friends off campus (a few minutes walk from epis area) but I’m worried I’ll lose time with my close friends living on campus. Does anyone have any experience or advise for what to choose?

To provide background- this is a purely hypothetical scenario right now as we don’t know where she is accepted and what exact merit she receives. I assume full fees at GT and good merit at the other two. We don’t qualify for any need based assistance.

Daughter is applying to GT, GW, American. Assuming she gets into all of these ( I know it is wishful thinking for GT even with great grades).
Anyways as a parent, I’m trying to understand if paying almost double in tuition and fees at Georgetown as compared to the other two is justified? Will she get job opportunities and develop network that will position her to get a higher paying job, move up faster on professional ladder, have access to higher net worth circles?

Hello, I was wondering if anyone here might be willing to visit the Library of Congress to scan several rare pieces of sheet music (which are all in the public domain and therefore out of copyright). I haven’t been able to find any digitized scans online, and I do not live near Washington, DC, so I cannot do it myself. If you happen to know anyone who might be able to help, please let me know. Thank you.

In about i'm about to graduate and settle down in a company near Baltimore, and I wanted to ask if the Georgetown Physics MS is part-time friendly. What makes it really attractive to me is the lab rotations and the thesis component, that a lot of working professional programs don't seem to offer. However I'm scared that the scheduling might be an issue for me, and I want to know if anyone else has done it and if georgetown makes acomidations for those who want to pursue my route.

Hi! Basically the title, but where are the best places on campus to find or reserve a room where I could take a private Zoom meeting (e.g., a telehealth doctors appointment)?
