Questions about Georgetown

Colleges and Universities A-Z Georgetown University

<p>Hi everyone,</p>

<p>I recently became interested in Georgetown University because student activism is so popular there. I have some questions.</p>

<p>Firstly - Why Georgetown? Don't worry, I'm not asking you for material for the essay. I genuinely want to know why you like Georgetown. I'm trying to figure out if I want to apply or not, so I'd like to learn more about its pros.</p>

<p>Secondly - Just how Catholic is the university? Please note that I don't mean this as an insult to Catholics - its just that I'm not Catholic and I want to see how comfortable I'd be in the environment. According to some of my research, Georgetown has crosses in some of the classrooms, and it stopped funding a student's internship at Planned Parenthood. I know that it is anti-abortion and doesn't sell birth control.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Georgetown is a great school in a great part of a great city. There is nothing else quite like it. There is a mini controversey among Catholics surrounding allegations that Georgetown is not “Catholic” anymore. Without taking sides in that argument, let me assure you that non-catholics feel very welcome there. You should not let that concern you at all.</p>

<p>In addition, you will be surrounded by wonderfully gifted students from all over the world.</p>

<p>Go ahead and apply.</p>
