<p>Your NetID and temporary password is mailed to you a few days after Georgetown receives your deposit.</p>
<p>In fact, if they have already received your deposit, your name should be in the system. To check whether this is the case, search for your name in the student directory at Georgetown's website.</p>
<p>See you at NSO!</p>
<p>hey Nspeds, how do most people get their stuff to gtown? I'm coming from a state school so we just drove the 4 hours to FSU...but my parents don't know what to do about getting me and my belongings to DC. do you have any tips?</p>

<p>I shipped to campus belongings that I would not need for the first week. Once you receive your housing assignment (which should be available at your housing-at-a-glance page in early August), you can ship your items to that address so long as it arrives after the residence-hall-office is open. </p>
<p>I used UPS to ship my stuff to Georgetown, and collegeboxes to ship it back. The Corp at Georgetown also runs a summer storage service, such that you can store your belongings over the summer at Georgetown without having to ship them back home.</p>
<p>For yourself, there are three airports at which you could arrive: Washington Dulles, Reagan, and Baltimore. The airfares to the former-most airport are usually expensive, and it is more expensive to get from Dulles to Georgetown because Georgetown is far from it. Flights to Reagan are usually cheaper, and it is easy to reach Georgetown from there: just take the Metro from the airport to Roselyn Virginia, and there are either private busses that will take you to Georgetown's campus (you will need a student ID, though they usually never ask for it), or you can take the private-charter Georgetown bus that goes to the Georgetown area and stops around 3 blocks away from the campus. The lattermost bus, I think, costs one dollar. </p>
<p>You could also take a taxi from the airport, which will cost 20$.</p>
<p>Tickets to Baltimore can be cheaper than Reagan, but what you gain in price you likely lose in terms of reaching the campus because there are not as many options compared to arriving at Reagan.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that everything mailed to and from the District of Columbia via USPS takes longer, since mail is checked. Private postal services are almost always faster and more private.</p>
<p>Also, if you live in a major city, there should be a Georgetown Club. If there is one, they should send you an invitation for a gathering with new students and their parents. Most questions can usually be answered in more detail by the host. </p>
<p>The Georgetown Club of Houston is great. I met the regional rep, my interviewer, and had fantastic discussions. Apparently Texas is one of Georgetown's highest yields (something like 60% of Texan students admitted enroll).</p>
<p>oh wow ok thanks!</p>
<p>to Georgetown College acceptees who mailed their final transcript to georgetown, who did you mail it to, admissions or someone else?</p>
<p>nspeds is so nice.</p>

<p>It really does not matter, in fact. I mailed my transcript in to admissions, and during NSO I was notified that the deans had not received it. They just gave me the address then and told me to send it.</p>
<p>Georgetown is very relaxed about this stuff. Take your time with the transcript (unless you did poorly last semester). If you really want to send it, just call the admissions office and ask for the address to which it should be sent.</p>
<p>thanks (10 char)</p>
<p>Just moving this thread up so people can post questions.</p>
<p>For housing, are you put with another random transfer, or possibly a non-transfer who didn't have a roommate or what?</p>

<p>You are usually placed with other transfers, but it also depends on what preferences you list on the housing questionnaire.</p>
<p>The transfer "housing" is excellent: you are all actually given apartments right in front of the gates assuming Georgetown repeats last year's events.</p>

<p>If you can, I suggest joining a living learning community. I was on CPLLC last year:</p>
<p><a href="http://reslife.georgetown.edu/llc.html%5B/url%5D">http://reslife.georgetown.edu/llc.html</a></p>
<p>Sounds like an interesting opportunity, how big a part of the living experience are they in terms of how often they meet for events and such?</p>
<p>Ohh...</p>
<p>When you join an LLC, you are actually placed on a special floor. Depending on the LLC, certain events (like movies, theater showings, and other events in DC) are subsidized by the university. There are also special floor events.</p>
<p>Last year, the university allowed us to purchase a DVD collection, subsidized trips to the Kennedy Center, various movies, cultural gatherings, theater events on campus, movie nights in the lounge (so food was covered), kayaking, and so forth.</p>
<p>It is a great way to meet unique and interesting people, and the community is very close-knit. Our common room was definitely the most colorful of the floors in our dorm: we had a rainbow bicycle that we stole from a theater-props room, several hundred cranes hanging from the ceiling, and interesting postings on the wall.</p>
