The way GW gave me the oppourtunoity to major in such a diverse environment in political science, but while being able to double minor in music and computer science. Other schools could not give me the opportunity to study such a diverse set of majors and minors while still excelling in all other areas as a whole. Students come first at GW, and that is what really interested me about this university.

George Washington University is unique in it's location and population. Clearly there are many advantages to living in the Nation's Capital and GW works hard to enroll students from all backgrounds. Another highlight is GW's support for the Study Abroad program. Their enthusiasm for young people to experience life elsewhere is unprecedented. My time abroad has duly changed the course of my life and actions that follow.

There is a lot of community involvement. There are volunteer opportunities, fundraisers, nonprofit internships. There are so many different ways to get involed. This school places a big emphasis on making the world a better place.

Lara

It's location in the nation's capital enables students to reap the benefits of internship and job opportunities related to and dealing with politics.

GW really is great! I think the location is amazing and the education I'm getting is phenomenal! I also like the people, it's hard at first to find your group of friends because there's so many different kinds of people. But, I think that just makes it all the more exciting! I think my biggest complaint would be that it is so ridiculously expensive, honestly, it could be so much cheaper! At the end of the day though, I can't see myself anywhere else!

Haters gonna hate. I find that many people with bad reviews about GWU seem to have a really limited circle of friends and don't take advantage of the great things there are to do at GWU and in DC. I joint-enrolled at a large state university in high school and before I transferred I went to a small, traditional, brick-and-ivy liberal arts school for a year so I know what other schools are like: not as cool as GWU (I've also been home-schooled, went to public school and have taken classes on six different college campuses during the summer...I know school.) Like I said, GWU is not for everyone, but if you are the type of person to take advantage of diverse opportunities, it may be for you!
