<p>Take DOUGLASS for PST. He is the man and he will absolutely knock your socks off with his intelligence. It was one of the most challenging/rewarding classes I have taken so far. (Note: I am only a freshman. But he has set the bar very high.)</p>
<p>As far as classes to recommend, they always change and depends what you like. You really won't have that much of a choice when you first get here, so you'll be able to get a gauge on good courses/profs once you get here.</p>
<p>(Edited to add...)
I REALLY wish that I had done a Pre-Orientation program. Find one (or two) that interest you and APPLY FOR IT! You will get to know a base of interesting, dedicated people who are diverse, yet have similar interests. A great way to start out your college career and you will be grateful later on!</p>
<p>Pre-Orientation programs are basically the most amazing things ever. I did one and as cheesy as it sounds it was one of those life-changing experiences.</p>
<p>Jul, I'm a sophomore right now and its going pretty well. There's one class in particular that's consuming about 90% of my time and energy and is making life rather stressful, although it has been extremely informative.</p>
<p>IPEC, as you would imagine, is a mix of ECON and POL classes. The upper-level ECON I can't really comment on, I had Yun for Micro Principles and Rogers for Macro and ITrade and they were all reasonably good. The POL classes I have more experience with, but a lot of those really do vary from semester to semester.</p>
<p>The class is called The Military Instrument of National Power. It's INAF-234 I believe. I'm an IPOL major doing with Security Studies concentration.</p>
<p>It kind of depends. I've gotten through two years of Georgetown without wearing formal clothes. That said, I've probably skipped five or so formal birthday parties or other random events just because I didn't want to get dressed up. I don't know, I feel like most guys have at least one suit with them, and most girls have at least one cocktail-ish dress with them. If you enjoy getting dressed up then you can find more formal events and you might want to bring more.</p>
<p>It depends on what activites you're involved with. If you're in a group that performs then you'll need clothes for that. Frat Pledges have to dress up once a week. People that usher events need to dress up. There are also formal dances, things in the city, parties. It varies a lot between people, but I'd say I get really dressed up about once a month.</p>
<p>It doesn't really, but sort of. There's the jew frat, which is recognized by the university since it's like a religious club. I don't really understand it, but yeah, a lot of the people in AEPi aren't jewish anyway. There's also SigEp, i'm not sure if it's officially recognized, but they have a house that a few members live in and throw parties. There's also the SFS frat and there's a service frat. Georgetown doesn't really have a greek life, it's more like clubs that throw parties.</p>
<p>The University won't recognize any groups that have a "pledge process" because the lack of universality is not conducive to the Jesuit ideals. (Hypocritical, if you ask me, considering that women cannot join the Jesuit order).</p>
