<p>hi
I'm a junior transfer. I was all set on going to Rice until i got my waitlist letter from Gtown. Gtown had been my dream school early in high school, but the dream had kind of eroded over time after hearing all about the somewhat conservative, preppy "beautiful people" who participate in the "hookup scene" at Gtown and are generally a pretty homogenous preprofessional lot. I am a pretty decent looking fellow, and i am not averse to the occasional hookup, but this description makes georgetown sound like a higher ranked verison of my present school, something i'm trying to get away from. Is that characterisation fair. If not, how would you characterize gtown, taking for granted that traces of the aforementioned scene must exist. Should i just stick with Rice, or is there more to gtown that i've heard? I really would like to know.</p>
<p>The "conservative, preppy "beautiful people" who participate in the "hookup scene" at Gtown and are generally a pretty homogenous preprofessional lot" is a stereotype... not everyone is like that obviously, Georgetown is big enough so you can among a lot of social scene... on the other hand... those characteristics does seem to apply</p>
<p>please disregard the sentence structure of the poster above. gu student normally can write, i promise. it's silly to base your college decision on something you hear that is so obviously a stereotype. if you're seriously considering georgetown, and it sounds like you are, you should spend some time there.</p>
<p>I don't know what's so "notorious" about it. If that's not your cup of tea, no one's gonna look down on you for not going along with it.</p>
<p>As for cliques, people definitely have their groups of friends, but I've never really seen any hostility to "outsiders" or anything like that. I feel like the fact that not that many people seriously date cuts down on the "you stole my boyfriend!" kind of drama you often see.</p>
