Colleges and Universities A-Z Georgetown University

<p>So how does Georgetown compare to other schools in the area- GW, American?
Reputation? Academics? Sports?
I only applied to Georgetown and now I wish that I had at least applied to American (their online app fee is waived.)</p>

2

<p>I don't know about sports, but in terms of reputation and academics gtown is way better</p>

3

<p>I agree with Shaganov. GU is more widely known and more prestigious than GW & American.</p>

4

<p>georgetown is far superior academically</p>

<p>in sports gw is probably equal to georgetown</p>

5

<p>I agree, their reputation and academics are superior compared to other DC schools. Regarding sports, doesn't Georgetown own basketball and lacrosse?</p>

6

<p>Gtown is 21st while GW is 14th currently in the AP Poll (college basketball).
So yes, both are good</p>

7

<p>Pretty much all three school are terrible at all sports that aren't basketball.....American is also bad at basketball...</p>

<p>GW has been really great over the last few years
and Gtown is jsut starting to get good again</p>

8

<p>gtown rocks at rowing... if anyone is interested...</p>

<p>Georgetown's reputation is by far the best, but GW's is getting better. If you don't think you have a good shot at gtown, you can apply to GW too. A lot of people apply to GW as a safety if they still want to be in DC.
Gtown's basketball is on the rise, hopefully you watched the Duke game. GO HOYAS!!</p>

10

<p>better yet... we should call it "the Georgetown Game..." ; )</p>

11

<p>Georgetown is much more prestigious, but American and GWU each have their own claims to fame. GWU has an excellent political science program; American has excellent political science and journalism/communications. However, Georgetown is obviously better academically</p>

<p>All three teams suck at football. Georgetown and GWU are both really good at basketball; American sucks at it too.</p>

12

<p>GW doesn't have a football team and I'm pretty sure American doesn't either. Georgetown's is mediocre but they just got a new coach who was the defensive coordinator at Marshall a few years back and has been at Navy and hopefully he'll get things moving quickly. The Patriot League is pretty tough as far as Div-IAA football goes.</p>

13

<p>Georgetown definately has a more work hard play hard mentality than GW. Georgetown has a pretty active party scene on weekends but on weekends the library is pretty flooded.</p>
