Gtown versus UPenn (advice please)

Colleges and Universities A-Z Georgetown University

<p>These are both top two for me, a competitive debater, music lover and foreign service officer hopeful.
I'm curious if anyone has any comparison of the schools on literally ANY factor (dorms, classes, student body...etc) I've visited both and I see pros and cons to both schools.</p>

<p>I know Gtown has the Walsh School of Foriegn Service and that DC is a great location for internships, but I've heard the student body isn't very diverse and is extremely preppy. I'm a white, female, liberal Methodist from New York who is used to (and values highly) having a diverse set of friends. It's much more interesting to me. In addition I've read that Gtown's student body can be preppish and snoby. Any thoughts? True? Not true? </p>

<p>UPenn has such a pretty campus and is in a city as well- although not as great as DC for my interests. It's a fabulous school as well, but but not as focused on Foreign service. </p>

<p>Any advice would be great! From someone that attends one of the schools or even considered both</p>

<p>I am considering Gtown, and to tell you the truth I don’t like much the religious affiliation it has… that said, it is definitely better for Foreign studies than Upenn, although since you will very likely change your mind about what you like in the years to come, I would’t choose a choose just because of its major. Upenn has definitely a better reputation overall. Phila and DC are both very cool and complete cities, though DC is better for politics and such!</p>

<p>This should be a no-brainer - Gtown for sure. Trust me the religious aspect is there only if you want it - if you don’t, no one will care.</p>

<p>Isn’t this a duplicate thread?</p>
