To everyone reject/deferred from Georgetown:

I'm writing this because I hate Georgetown and some of my worst nightmares have been about attending that school, so if you need some reasons to hate Georgetown right now I got you.

If you like GU and are happy liking GU, this thread is probably not for you.

  1. It is INTENSELY political. Everyone is super eager to shove their opinions in their face and if you are not actively engaging in at least 5 non-profits then apparently, you don't care about problems. And the worst thing is, this extends to the staff too. If you have different political opinions than some of your professors, I truly wish you the best of luck surviving.

  2. It can be extremely elitist. I know all of these top schools have some of it, but GU is particularly bad about it. So many low-income kids have talked about how they feel at such a disadvantage on campus compared to their richer peers. For all this school's 'outreach programs' they can't seem to reach out to lower-income students.

  3. Now for some of the less important (but annoying) complaints: There's a severe lack of study space and outlets, the food is bad and far from dorms, the internet is unreliable at best, and there is an unflexible meal plan that is required for 4 semesters

  4. RATS. RATS EVERYWHERE. THERE IS A SERIOUS RAT PROBLEM. I'm serious, look it up.

Anyway, I hope this makes things a bit easier :)
