It?s known for its School of International Service (the biggest in the country and second biggest in the world), Communication program and Art program. Its location in D.C. lends its self to an incredible amount of educational resources and career opportunities. There is very high recruitment activity from top businesses, NGOs, media companies, and governmental agencies on campus all the time.

My school is best known for its activism. Our slogan is "ideas into action, action into service," and this is played out on a daily basis. Our 2nd biggest club on campus is a co-ed community service fraternity that serves the DC area--about 3000 hours per semester.

International Relations and Pol Sci

Its known for the internships, the great professors, a more liberal and accepting campus that is very diverse both in the professors and the students.

Being politically liberal, being a school where rich kids who didn't get into good schools go just because it's private, having high female, jewish, and homosexual populations even though this isn't totally accurate, being a haven for rejects from Georgetown, but being a good alternative to GW's concrete campus, not having a football team and lacking school spirit. Which is not always a bad thing.

Nothing really.
