<p>Hello! I'm a student wanting to apply as a freshman at GW. I was just wondering what the people are like at GW, like what would be the overall feel of the student population? Thank You!</p>
<p>Very into politics and internships. </p>
<p>Plenty of international students, but many, many students from NYC/NJ/East Coast.</p>
<p>Monied, overall.</p>
<p>Often driven, competitive. </p>
<p>Into fun like bars and parties, like many students.</p>
<p>I would concur w gwgrad. There are great opportunities that you would not get at most universities. Because it is such an urban setting, it misses a bit on the feeling of campus though they do make the effort to have a feeling of unity. It feels more like a traditional setting on their Mount Vernon campus though folks going to GWU arent usually looking for traditional. The city and the Hill really draw students out beyond the school.</p>
