<p>How are the people there? Do you get the great college experience with the parties? Are the rooms nice?</p>
<p>I know Georgetown does not have frats or anything like that? So, how is the social scene at Gtown. I know DC is right there, but I look really young and prolly could never get into a club. What are all the options at G-town.</p>
<p>They'll let you into the club, they just won't let you drink. Frats do exist but they're basically a joke, various student clubs pick up the slack in terms of parties and social stuff. Crew team and the Corp have some real crazy stuff, for example. Plus just random stuff that people you know who have apartments/townhouses plan.</p>
<p>For Econ 001, besides Levinson, which professor would you recommend after him? Does anyone know about Schwartz, Yu, Oweiss, or Brown? I'm not sure how reliable ratemyprofessors.com is.</p>
<p>Also, is there someone you can talk to about pre-registration when you get to Gtown in August, to make sure everything's in place? This whole thing seems very confusing.</p>
<p>Brown is a must-not take, they call him D- Brown. I hear Schwartz is good. Before you get to Georgetown you will found out how your preregistration ended up and then will be able to (probably will have to because you might not have gotten all of your classes) talk to someone about registration. They will go over registration during NSO. If I remember, I found out preregistration results a couple days before I got to school</p>
<p>Wait, so even though there may be an abundance of seats available when you sign up, you may not get that spot?</p>
<p>yeah.. it' random, and if a lot of people sign up, you may not get the class.</p>
<p>Levinson should be available for spring semester though, right?</p>
<p>He only teaches in the Fall, only one prof teaches mico in the spring, and I think it is Brown</p>
<p>I applying EA for MSB. How is the interview for admissions? What type of questions do they ask you? What type of questions should I ask them?</p>
<p>I've heard that the campus of GT feels very safe, but as soon as you walk into the city outside of campus - it's very crummy. Now I don't want to diss Washington cause, it's Washington, but I've heard many things about how "seedy" the city is around the campus and how dangerous and un-safe it seems. Want to validate or clear up any of these rumors?</p>
<p>The Georgetown neighborhood around the university definitely isn't seedy. It's primarily residential and made up of some very pricey real estate. There's some sporadic crime, but it mostly comes from people who come over from elsewhere to prey on Georgetown students and residents. The more commercial areas of Georgetown, especially Wisconsin Ave. and M Street, are pretty high-traffic areas (especially M, where all the bars are) and pretty upscale, so they're not run-down or anything like that.</p>
<p>Further out you run into the Dupont Circle and Foggy Bottom areas, which are more urban and developed but still not what I would call "seedy." I wouldn't advise walking around alone at night offcampus, just to be on the safe side, but that holds true for cities in general.</p>
<p>Compared to the rest of Washington (Columbia Heights, Northeast, to say nothing of everything on the other side of the Anacostia), the Georgetown neighborhood is ritzy, wealthy, and green.</p>
<p>Yeah, Gtown is everything but seedy, it is very upscale, neighbors of the school include John Kerry, and Mad. Alebright. JFK lived here and so did Elizabeth Taylor. It's a very nice neighborhood. The netire NW quadrant of DC is considered very safe, it's when you hed into Falls Church, or Col Heights where it gets very ugly. Georgetown is probably in the best neighborhood in DC.</p>
<p>How much of a party/drinking school is Georgetown?</p>
<p>How flexible are the programs at GU? Would a student who's unsure of an area of study have trouble transferring between schools? And, also, how common is it to double major (in same and/or different schools, if possible)?</p>
<p>Would you say that Georgetown has a competitive atmosphere or is it more supportive? I'm interested in applying, but a school with a bad academic climate would put me off.</p>
<p>whats the weather like in the winter? Does the snow stick?</p>
<p>Starbucksguy, there is a pretty big drinking/party scene at Georgetown. You can find a party going on almost every night. The best parties are thrown by the student organizations and sports teams. However, there is plenty of other things to do if drinking and partying aren't your thing. There are always shows and all kinds of other events happening on campus and in the DC area. It's pretty much impossible to be bored here, no matter what your interests are. </p>
<p>Xoverseas-It is a little difficult to transfer between schools, but not impossible. You can always transfer into the college no problem, but it's a little bit more difficult to transfer into the NHS or the SFS, because you start to take your required classes freshman year. Most people do have a double major, or at least a minor. In any school, I think you can have a second major or minor in a foreign language, and if you are in the FLL as a language or linguistics major, you can have a double major in business. Also, I think no matter what school you are in, you can get a certificate (like a minor) in a regional studies program, such as Latin American Studies, from the SFS. </p>
<p>Badrphoenix- From what I've seen, the academic atmosphere at Georgetown is definitely more supportive than competitive. Everyone helps each other out with homework, and I've never seen anyone try to sabotage someone else's work.</p>
<p>Is the atmosphere more intellectual, or more argumentative? Are people more concerned with constantly re-evaluating and keeping their minds open to new ideas, or are people more concerned with defending their already prepared opinions?</p>
<p>How good is the Chemistry and the Physics program at Georgetown?</p>
