What is your overall opinion of George Washington University?

A lot of times when I tell people I go to GW, they ask if it's the same thing as Georgetown. This local rivalry tends to be a sore spot around campus, as some people call us Georgetown Waitinglist, or GW for short. However, at this point, the schools are not very different when it comes to academics. We have some fields that are stronger, as do they. The main difference is the style and personality of the campus. Where Georgetown is a very traditional campus which prides itself on its history, GW is a more unique school which is up and coming. They have a traditional campus, we have a very urban campus. They have dining halls, we have colonial cash to spend throughout the city. They are resting on their laurels, relying on their past prestige, while we create new prestige each and every day.

School size is just right. Not a huge school, but at 10,000, a good number to find people like you. Not a "college town" at all, but there are plenty of fun activities for people our age in the city that are fun to do.
