<p>Also check out some of the faculty, speakers, job opportunities, and study aboad options.</p>

<p>Georgetown is definitely considered the better school for government, and international affairs (their School of Foreign Service is particularly difficult to get into!) Also, Georgetown has a real college campus, GW is mixed in with a lot of the buildings in the Foggy Bottom section of DC--some government offices, other business & financial buildings, plus the World Bank. Yes the metro is more convenient to GW, but GT runs shuttles from campus to Foggy Bottom metro, and Dupont Circle. The night life in GT is much livelier--whereas a lot of downtown DC in the business sections is pretty quiet at night. </p>

<p>A visit to both, online and in person, would be very important!</p>

<p>Georgetown is the better of the 2 academic-wise, plus it is much more reputable and selective in its admissions.</p>

<p>GW isn't really "downtown." It is in between downtown and Georgetown basically. It's like a 15 minute walk to Gtown.</p>

<p>G-Town forever</p>

<p>My dad went to george town so yea go hoyas</p>

<p>website(s) speaking GW wins. lol not that that's important(i'm helping my sister look for colleges and she likes GW, ugh, lol j/k). I think facilities wise, GW has nicer facilities, as well as more options for majors, schools, etc. Also, GW does has a campus of sorts. I'm actually taking a class at NYU right now, and I think both GW and NYU's campus situations are exaggerated. NYU has different areas to sit down, usually little plaza areas between buildings, and the Stern area has a Plaza/Quad with benches, a statue thing, etc. However no grass. There IS Washington Square Park right there, but it isn't part of the "campus". GWU has that Plaza that a student mentioned, as well as a Yard(at least that's what the maps say). I believe there's a fountain(not sure), and some artwork around. So, they have campuses, but not as defined as Georgetown's. Georgetown is more closed from the streets. There's one wall at the main entrance,lol. Also, not all buildings are within the main gates, so you'll cross streets to go to class, but it's still in the residential area(unless you go to Car Barn from the M Street Entrance).</p>
