Georgetown University Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Georgetown University? Why?

Valerie

As a sophomore transfer student the worst thing about the school is the relative exclusiveness. The student body seems to have and unwritten code of making your circle of friends right away and keeping it the same all throughout the four years. While every one on campus is friendly and helpful there are definite student clubs that hold an apparent exclusiveness.

For all of Georgetown's high standards and well-educated staff, their Internet inferface is terrible. The online application was far behind those of other schools as far as organization, and it was not even possible to save my progress as I went. Although I have never failed in finding information I need on the website, it is not as easy to navigate as I would like.

Nicole

The worst thing about Georgetown University is probably the rat population. During the evening hours, on campus grounds- not in buildings- you will definitely see a couple of rats. The school does as much it can to keep the rat population at a minimum, but with all the campus development and construction projects happening in the Georgetown Residential Community, encountering a furry critter on any evening is more than likely to occur.

Antoinette

The accessibility. It can be a bit hard to reach if you live in other areas in the city.

Albert

The core curriculum is rather heavy, making it difficult to take classes of interest during the early years. This is especially true for students in the School of Foreign Service.

Danielle

I think the worst thing about Georgetown University is the expense. Though I have thoroughly enjoyed my college experience, it has been challenging and stressful to constantly try to earn money to cover the exorbitant tuition bill and the expenses incurred by living in a city, traveling home for breaks, etc.

Michelle

Some people tend to be cliquish and a bit too superficial based on small things and are not ready to get over the whole silly high school mentality, but that's probably about 15{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of people.

Veronique

The cafeteria. The meal-plan flexibility is almost nul (for first and second year students).

Jonathan

Some of the professors are pretty lame, and the lack of administrative help in terms of decided a major path

Lauren

the library and the fact that there is no metro on campus
