Internships? and deciding whether I should go to Georgetown.

Colleges and Universities A-Z Georgetown University

<p>Right now, I'm trying to decide where I want to go to college for (I have been accepted to GT, Emory, Duke, and Claremont Mckenna). One of the biggest draws to Georgetown is its Washington DC location, which offers great opportunities for internships. </p>

<p>I want to know whether I will have time for an internship or not if I do go to Georgetown and the ease of getting to it. </p>

<p>Will I have time for an internship during the year? I have federal work-study, which means that I'll probably have to spend ten hours a week working. Can I get paid working with a nonprofit, or must it be a school-runned position? Also, I mean during the year, because I'll probably go back home for summer, otherwise, I would have to pay for the summer term boarding.</p>

<p>Second, I read somewhere that GT does not have a metro-stop, so you would have to walk pr hail a taxi to get across the bridge to the metro. I have never been to Georgetown, so any info on the bridge (can you walk across it?) or the ease of getting to the metro stop/bus/transportation for my internship? The length of time spent going to one place to another?</p>

<p>And side questions,
is the campus small? If it is, is there alot of stuff to do campus? Or is GT one of those schools where to have fun (not drinking or anything), you have to go out to the city? </p>

<p>are the people snobby? competitive? </p>

<p>Thank you so much!</p>

<p>Oh another question, is there a lot of contact/interaction between the different schools? Or is it kind of divided?</p>

<p>BTW, I would attend SFS.</p>

<p>Definitely come to Georgetown - especially if you get into the SFS</p>

<p>I was also accepted into Claremont Mckenna, Duke, Emory, but I choose to attend the MSB instead.</p>

<p>In terms of internship opportunities, I can't tell you how many SFS kids intern on the Hill (ie congress), think-tank, financial services companies... seriously you will be hard to press to find a SFS kid without an internship (especially the upperclassmen, but its also common for freshmen to have internships as well)</p>
