<p>?? Clinton went to Georgetown? when?</p>
<p>oops.....Clinton did..had in my mind Univ. of Arkansas for some reason...</p>
<p>You might have Clinton associated with the University of Arkansas because he was on the faculty at the law school there.</p>
<p>Clinton did his undergrad at Georgetown and his J.D. at Yale. Interestingly enough, Clinton was classmates (class of '68) at Georgetown with two other people who became President of their respective countries - Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo of the Philippines and Alfredo Christianni of El Salvador.</p>
