We need more American diversity meaning southerners, mid-westerners, and of course interior westerners. We have to many people from the northeast and california.

I've heard alot of people say that after graduation they'd like to go to a state school for either law or grad studies for a "real college experience".

-embarassing moments are always interesting. I have seen so many walks of shame (and have taken a few of htem myself) that it is really very amusing living in thurston. you never thought you could be so open sexually with the many roommates in the room because you have no other choice.

One of the hidden treasures of GW for freshmen is the Mount Vernon Campus. Its a smaller campus about a ten minute bus ride away from the main Foggy Bottom campus and its beauitful. Whereas the main campus is urban, Mt Vernon has a nice quad and all the sports fields. The campus is much more laid back and relaxed. Since its a smaller campus, you get to know a lot of people pretty well. The Vern is especially good for people who don't drink, because there seem to be more students on the Vern who don't. A lot of people think the Vern is antisocial or boring, but thats not the case at all. People have a lot of fun there too, its just more laid back in general. Also, Thurston is the big freshmen party dorm. It houses over 1200 students and it can be pretty crazy. If you want a party, Thurston is the place to be. If you don't want a party every night, its somewhere to visit, not to live.

I adore GW. Never been happier in my life. You have to be the right person to go here though. Independent and out-going.

I love GW! There is something for everyone.

all and all i wish i went to another school. but i love what i've done at gw. i think i've done the best anyone could when put into a college like gw. i've really met so many great people (even if some are terrible) and i've enjoyed almost all of my classes.

Everything at the school is extremely expensive: from the food, housing, and services. Although the school gives out many scholarships, many students who apply early decision pay full tuition and, in my opinion, are not getting their money's worth.
