Hello Everyone!

I was thinking of applying to Georgetown University in Washington, DC but, I had a few questions.

1) can first-year students live off campus? (if so, where is the best place to live)

2) what courses are available for study?

3) is the Georgetown area a fairly good neighborhood to live in (lots of attractions, not so many gangs)

4) where are some good places to hang out?

Thanks so much and ANY answers will be appreciated!!!!
Thanks again!

Best answer gets 10 pts!!!

Answer 1

1. First-year students are required to live on-campus. They recently built 2 new dorms that I believe are freshman dorms - they weren't there when I was @ Gtown, but they look beautiful.

2. Go to www.georgetown.edu to find out what courses of study you can follow. Some of the popular majors/ programs are Foreign Service, Business, Nursing, English

3. Yes! Georgetown is a great area to live in!! There are restaurants, bars, etc. and you have all of DC right there to enjoy. Georgetown is a very affluent neighborhood w/ a mix of students and professionals.

4. Some fun places to hang out are gtown bar & billiards, tombs, rhino's. When you get to DC, make sure you have a chicken madness @ Wisemiller's. My fave!!!

Answer 2

First time and year students are required to live on campuses at most colleges and universities. I havent been to DC in a long time since I've been there twice and visited the Georgetown area, but it's probably changed since I was there last in 1990, but they have really nice places there and if you can when you apply arrange to actually go to DC and visit the school if you do that many schools waive their application fees. Georgetown is a pretty upscale part of DC so you won't see gangs just a lot of students and upscale professionals living there since it's a fairly affluent neighborhood. As far as programs is concerned I would go to their website and check out the programs and the stats about who applies to what programs the most. I would not consider moving off campus until you've gotten to your junior year and a job so you can pay the pricey rent since it's not cheap to live there so having reliable roommates helps out a lot. You may have a roommate on campus and when you reach junior standing you can apply for single housing or apartments if the university has them.
