<p>i'm really interested in applying to georgetown's college for their language program but at the same time i love SFS's culture and politics major too.</p>
<p>my question is, i guess, is it easy to transfer from one school to another once you're in? from college to SFS or from SFS to college? </p>
<p>or how does double-majoring work at georgetown?</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>bump!!</p>
<p>I have the exact same question -- and I need to select a school before I send part I in!</p>
<p>definitely wondering about the double major thing as well, i want to have a foreign language AND something international ...</p>
<p>If you get into SFS, you will be required to take a language anyway. I don't think its very easy to transfer or double-major, though that's only what I've heard, I don't know for sure</p>
<p>You can't double-major in the SFS and you can't have one major in the SFS and one in the college, so you will have to choose. Transferring isn't that hard, provided you're willing to do some legwork and prove you have a good reason for doing so.</p>
<p>As an SFSer, my default answer is "go with SFS." To do a language major, you really have to want to become fluent in the language and devote most of your academic career to it, which is a heavy burden indeed. If that's exactly what you want to do, then by all means sign up for the FLL, of course.</p>
<p>okay, thanks! that was really helpful.</p>
<p>Ahh and now you'll get the perspective of someone in the college. In the application process, I too questioned whether to apply to the SFS or the college. A few reasons shaped my decision and I don't regret it at all. First of all, it's worth noting that the SFS is (because of the body of students who apply) more competitive. These are the people who are going to become the next presidents and their cabinets. No joke. But ultimately I felt that the majors offered by the SFS were far too limiting. The College is much more all-encompassing, and you can go anywhere with those majors. Plus, you can still take SFS classes, which I plan on doing, because of a particular interest. Also, it's true, the switch is not difficult. In fact I have a friend who got into the college then immediately switched to SFS before even getting here. It's also worth mentioning that the FLL is awesome- one of my good friends is enrolled and she loves it.</p>
<p>From what I have heard from admissions officials, it is easier to switch from SFS to the College than the other way around.</p>
<p>can you give more information on taking courses at SFS but being in teh college- what kind of limitations are there?</p>
