<li>It’s always a matter of personal preference. I enjoyed my living arrangements just fine. There are four first-year dorms, each of which is different and freshmen tend to identify more strongly with their residence hall. After that, it’s all spread out. You can find some basic information at [Our</a> Residences](<a href=“http://housing.georgetown.edu/academic/residences/]Our”>http://housing.georgetown.edu/academic/residences/) </li>

<p>On-campus housing is mandatory and guaranteed for two years. There are no guarantees after that, although in practice I have never heard of anyone not getting a third year if they want it. Fourth year of on-campus housing is trickier. In many cases, studying abroad obviates the need for on-campus housing during junior year, though.</p>

<li><p>Some departments have curves or caps on the number of As for survey courses, like the Econ department, so it can be more difficult to earn a high grade in the intro classes. The average GPA upon graduation was around a 3.5, which is cum laude, so if there is grade deflation it’s not very prevalent.</p></li>
<li><p>Everyone must take 2 philosophy, 2 theology, and 2 humanities/writing courses. The specifics will vary depending on which school you are in (e.g. in the SFS, Political & Social Thought will be one of your philosophy courses).</p></li>

<li>The dorms are dorms; they’re not great. Frankly, I think that Georgetown’s dorms are worse than most of its peer schools, but fairly run of the mill for urban schools. Some, of course, are better than others. You’re required to live on campus for the first 2 years (with some exceptions), but after that it’s up to you. Many people live on campus 4 years, many don’t. You’re not guaranteed housing, but you can almost certainly get 3 years of on campus eligibility, and most likely 4 (but if you’re unlucky, you can end up in trouble).</li>
<li>I’d say grades are neither inflated nor deflated in general. As above, Econ has a forced curve.</li>
<li>Yes everyone must take the above. Each school also has additional core requirements. Which school were you accepted into?</li>
<li>You can get some credit, naturally it depends on the classes and your scores.</li>
