Georgetown University

This really depends on the individual and what kind of learning you feel is most valuable.
Academically speaking, obviously if you choose to slack off and focus on socializing, you might not do so hot even if your classes are awesome. For the most part, like any other school, there are easy and hard classes. Most of my professors so far have been enjoyable & interesting and the classes have definitely expanded my knowledge about the subject. The key is to balance your required classes with your electives. That way you can make sure you get your required courses out of the way in time for you to enjoy some fun classes in your junior & senior year.
In a different manner of learning, I guarantee that you will learn much about life being here. You'll definitely get to understand people and the real world more once you live here. Not only do you have to learn how to adjust living in a close-knit community (not to mention, a roommate everyday) you also have to learn how to live on your own, away from home. Also, Georgetown has great school spirit so learning the history of your school and everything about it is a must! To sum it all up, Georgetown has a great balance of academics and fun.

Georgetown provides a very stimulating academic environment with the flexibility to choose fields that interest you. Some of the basic, general education requirements, like English or Theology, can be tedious depending on your interests. However, these classes are more than made up for by the wide range of classes available in other departments.

Georgetown University Law Center is an amazing combination of high quality academics and networking opportunities. Everyday there is something going on..an Alumni cocktail, the book launch of a member of staff, judge, politician etc. There are many activities which target international students where experienced professionals in academia and legal practice share their wisdom to guide our employment pursuits. The international diversity is the number one reason attending this school is the best choice for a global career.

There will be challenging classes, and there will be classes that are simply unlike any high school class. Depending on your prior knowledge, there will be some classes where the expectations seem unrealistic, but it is possible to excel. The professors are passionate about the subjects that they teach and are, for the most part, engaging and informative. The variety of classes offered allow students to study a wide range of subjects even if the student has no background in that particular field.

I definitely feel that I am learning a lot more in my classes relative to my friends at peer institutions. I'm currently taking an intensive language and several discussion-based courses. I feel I'm learning a lot and I am able to apply my newly acquired knowledge to daily conversations and situations.

Georgetown is known for its challenging environment but also very supportive students and teachers.

The courses at Georgetown are taguth by amazing professors who genuinely enjoy the subject they are teaching and present the information in a way that actually helps the students learn. Yes, Georgetown may have a large workload to deal with but the amount of information you learn is plentiful and relates to everyday life and other classes taught at Georgetown.

The administration has a unique idea of what a budget intails. Budgets for end-of-the-year parties are huge, as are some club budgets. However, we still do not have wireless internet because it is too expensive.

Great location in D.C. The prep is real, and turned me off initially, but it's all about who you surround yourself with. I find that people have a hard time relaxing.

The professors here are amazing, I've not only learned about myself but about other cultures and how ultimately we are all united. This is the type of carefree learning environment were you will be pressured by other students to slack however it is important you stay on track. If you are looking to party on Thirsty Thursday take my advice and don't. Focus on studying, you've been accepted into this amazing institution, don't forget that.
