Most students are rather friendly, and will engage you readily, but will leave you alone if that is what you desire.

Georgetown University students are passionate, caring, fun, and interesting.

A refreshing combination of cut-throat driven and super friendly and extroverted.

Many program are provided for students. There is a work-study program for these students.

Students are pretty diverse. The East Coast is definitely represented (especially Jersey). You might feel out of place if you come from a smaller town and are not used to city living. Students generally get dressed up for class. There are also a lot of international students, or students with unique heritage. There are a lot of people with a lot of money, but plenty of people are on financial aid. Students are politically active on both sides, especially since it is DC. Lots of people have internships. People don't generally talk about their future after Georgetown with respect to earnings.

Look at the demographics and assume that all stereotypes that apply to each race are fairly true. Georgetown isn't for everybody. Imagine yourself surrounded by preppy white kids dressed in Vineyard Vines, annoyingly gossiping, and drinking some gourmet coffee/ latte/tea, holding either a shopping bag, or a name brand backpack, possibly talking about their trip to the Caribbean ,and you might be able to picture Georgetown students. Georgetown students do not lack confidence. I do think to greatly of Georgetown students but then again maybe it's because I'm a minority.

Georgetown students are overachievers in almost everything they do. It's unusual not to be involved in a couple of groups on campus or to have an internship.

However, you would be surprised by how many students change their majors or transfer schools (there are four that make up Georgetown undergrad).

They are all intelligent and motivated.
