<p>I've spent the last 17 years in your typical upper-middle class, conservative, preppy town. This isn't what I want in a college. I guess my greatest fear after being accepted to Georgetown SFS is that I won't find a diverse, intellectual community and that the stereotypes of prepped out preprofessionals are well founded. Any information regarding Gtown students would be much appreciated. Thanks.</p>
<p>if you check out <a href="http://www.studentsreview.com%5B/url%5D">www.studentsreview.com</a> , you'll be very dissapointed. Most people say Georgetown is stuck up rich preppies.</p>
<p>basically just stuck up rich kids..</p>
<p>so yeah if you're not looking for that environment, gtown is the last place you want to be</p>
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I go to college in DC and have friends at Georgetown. Maybe the majority of people there are preppy snobs but everyone is not that way. It is highly unlikely that an entire university (and all of the students there) can be categorized as snobby/rude. There will always be some people who are genuine and nice although they may be outnumbered. If you truly want to go to GU then go. It's a great place in a great location. You will find plenty to do. College is what you make it.</p>
<p>dont worry. when i was in gtown over the summer, i was surprised with the diversity of the students (esp. SFS students). also, our resident assistants who are also currents were from Africa, Mexico, Venezuela, Ukraine. I was rather surprised with this diversity, and since gtown is needblind insitution, not all of the kids there are snobbish rich kids. when i was there, i found a good balance.</p>
<p>I'm really good friends with about 6 kids from G-town (a chunk from my HS went there) and while all of the kids I know have money, they are all very cool, laid back kids who enjoy having a good timelike anyone else. You will kind stuck up snots everywhere, regardless of their financial status.</p>
<p>One of the things I've noticed is that the kids who are the most stuck-up and fixated on money are not the kids who are really really wealthy. I know some girls at my school come from very very powerful, wealthy, and privileged backgrounds, but they rarely discuss money or make it an issue. It seems to be the girls a step or two down from that who make it a point to show expensive labels and show off.</p>
<p>I'm not sure if it's like this all over, but that's been my experience.</p>
