How much do they all interact (GW, AU, Georgetown)? I am interested in all, and was wondering about the social life at each one. Frat scene, freshman year, parties and everything like that. How important is clubbing (and accessible before turning 21)?
I’m an incoming freshman at AU so I can’t speak from experience, but I can comment from what I’ve heard (keep in mind that I am only referring to AU, as I know nothing about social life elsewhere). Party-wise, it seems that most parties are typically fairly exclusive to a school, but apparently there are a couple a year where the invitation is extended to all 3 major DC schools. Social life appears to be thriving, but always secondary to schoolwork. Freshman cannot join Greek life until the spring semester. American has a fairly loose alcohol policy (I actually just asked about it, the thread is titled “American University Alcohol Policy??” and the responses are extremely informative) Sorry for my lack of information, but there’s what I know.
