<p>My D loved Georgetown when we visited last year, however have been hearing reports of several unhappy students we know because of showy wealth and wild drinking. What is the social scene like? Thanks!</p>
<p>My D is a freshman there, and she enjoys her Georgetown experience immensely although the course work is quite stressful. You should post your inquiry at the Georgetown page.</p>
<p>Georgetown is a great institution. There is some drinking and partying, but for the most part, it is a great place to go to school.</p>
<p>There is some showy wealth, but whether that bothers you is up to the individual. As long as there are other kinds of folks to be friends with, I don’t think it has to be a problem. If you get caught up in trying to impress label-conscious types, that is another story.</p>
