George Washington University Top Questions

The way GW gave me the oppourtunoity to major in such a diverse environment in political science, but while being able to double minor in music and computer science. Other schools could not give me the opportunity to study such a diverse set of majors and minors while still excelling in all other areas as a whole. Students come first at GW, and that is what really interested me about this university.

George Washington University is unique in it's location and population. Clearly there are many advantages to living in the Nation's Capital and GW works hard to enroll students from all backgrounds. Another highlight is GW's support for the Study Abroad program. Their enthusiasm for young people to experience life elsewhere is unprecedented. My time abroad has duly changed the course of my life and actions that follow.

There is a lot of community involvement. There are volunteer opportunities, fundraisers, nonprofit internships. There are so many different ways to get involed. This school places a big emphasis on making the world a better place.

It's location in the nation's capital enables students to reap the benefits of internship and job opportunities related to and dealing with politics.

Being in the city, famous speakers, a well known international affair, geology program, developing engineering school, etc.

GW really is great! I think the location is amazing and the education I'm getting is phenomenal! I also like the people, it's hard at first to find your group of friends because there's so many different kinds of people. But, I think that just makes it all the more exciting! I think my biggest complaint would be that it is so ridiculously expensive, honestly, it could be so much cheaper! At the end of the day though, I can't see myself anywhere else!

Haters gonna hate. I find that many people with bad reviews about GWU seem to have a really limited circle of friends and don't take advantage of the great things there are to do at GWU and in DC. I joint-enrolled at a large state university in high school and before I transferred I went to a small, traditional, brick-and-ivy liberal arts school for a year so I know what other schools are like: not as cool as GWU (I've also been home-schooled, went to public school and have taken classes on six different college campuses during the summer...I know school.) Like I said, GWU is not for everyone, but if you are the type of person to take advantage of diverse opportunities, it may be for you!

Being in downtown D.C., the opportunities for those intereted in politics and international affairs are phenomenal. Internships and jobs are widely available, and the school encourages students to take advantage of these opportunities. Additionally, because of its proximity to the White House, the State Department, etc., GW gets excellent speakers (from President Obama to Hillary Clinton), and students are able to interact with these people.

I could have gone in-state for four years at a cost less than one year at this terrible school. I am glad that I transferred from GW.

I was in love with GWU during the college application process. It was my number one school - I wanted to go nowhere else. I've now been here for two months and am already seriously thinking of transferring. What they tell you in the admissions office is really great. If GW were like what they tell you in there, it'd be AWESOME. Sadly, it's 80{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} completely not.

Our location in the heart of Washington places us at the core of U.S. government, policy and law: where the worlds of science, technology, media and the arts converge; we have unparalleled opportunity to study and work alongside leaders and practitioners in every discipline, to take part in the interchanges that shape our community and the world and for political science majors opportunities are ample: from working on Capitol Hill for one of your representatives to working for the Department of State, like I am now.

GW has an absolutely unparalleled location. If you are interested in government work of any kind, whether it be politics, international affairs, public health, criminal justice, or anything the government is a part of, then George Washington is the place for you. The White House is only four blocks away, the World Bank and IMF are practically on campus, and every government office is less than 15 mintes away on the subway. GW's location makes it a uniquely ideal place for anyone interested in government work.

Of all the schools I had considered, GW was the only one in DC. Although I assumed that politics would be a major interest of a majority of the student population, I didn't realized JUST how obsessed people were going to be. Even though I have never been a politics guru, there are certain aspects of this characteristic of GW that I have actually have fallen in love with. For example, a group of friends could be sitting in a room, watching a movie, and engage in a heated debate over an insignificant detail for hours. Only at GW.

GW is the only school which completely integrates itself into the surrounding city. A myriad of volunteer opportunities are available in homeless shelters, NGOs, and government agencies. When you step on the campus, you do not feel isolated and distant from the real world many students fear, rather, it is all around you. You are constantly reminded of human suffering, political strife, and how knowledge and personal passions can lead to your being among the men and women carved in marble at the nearby Library of Congress, memorials, and free museums throughout the city. Here, knowledge is truly power.

The unique job opportunities at George Washington for someone who is interested in the way our country works, as well as the ability to meet people who can further your career is the most outstanding thing about GW. Students here have internships on Capitol Hill and K street lobbying firms regularly.

George Washington University was a waste of money. For private education, the classes were huge and the cariculum was unchallenging. I much prefer Mills College, where I am in graduate school. The classes are small and you receive personal attention.

Tuition is fixed over your 4 years, and the school is right in the city.

In DC so a lot of internships

Its location at the heart of the nation's capital gives a unique connection to the outside world. Students are able to be simultaneously involved in a fraternity, an LGBT group, and have an internship on Capitol Hill. The school is extremely accepting of different types of students and nobody feels out of place. The enormous financial aid packages don't hurt, either.

We have a school of International Affairs. Our program is highly ranked and unique as it allows for specialization.

The city environment is one of a kind.

It's one of the most diverse and politically active schools in the nation as well as being the most expensive.

George Washington is more diverse than any of the others i considered in manh ways, including diversity of the students and of campus activities. Also, the location of George Washington is extremely desirable, only couple of blocks away from the White House, and allows students to get jobs on Capitol Hill and to take advantage of the fuln neighborhoods like Georgetown, Adams Morgan, and Dupont Circle.

IT IS AN AMAZING SCHOOL ESPECIALLY IN EDUCATION FIELD

Location. It's better than Georgetown for location, internships, partying, everything. Can't beat it.

DC is the most amazing blend between campus and city. There is definitely a campus feel but you are part of something bigger. It isn't as diverse as it might seem, but there is a place for everybody. Work hard, don't cheat, and it will pay off.

great opportunities available in the city and any kind of club/organization imaginable to get involved in

It is a very urban campus, it doesn't have the typical "quad" or area where students gather. It is just a few blocks from the White House and other DC tourist spots. This school is home to some of the most politically active and passionate young people I have ever met. Everyone has a interest that they are very informed about and involved with. The classes are intersting and have great professors who have done lots of interesting research in their fields. Also, GW offers a VERY diverse student body from all across the US and world.

It is very politically active and being in the middle of DC brings so much opportunity to the table.

Living right in Washington, DC is an incredible opportunity. Our professors are experts in their field with practical experience working for the government or other DC based organizations. The city also provides access to many internships.

If you like politics or the government, there is no shortage of internships available. Also, you're smack dab in the middle of one of the biggest cultural centers on the eastern seaboard, so there's plenty to do if you've got money and a fair amount to do if you don't.

George Washington University is for the student that wants to seize the oppurtunities throughout the city, internships, job offers, real-hands on experience out in the real world. GWU gives students a very firm grasp of the real world and career choices for graduates, it give you alot of oppurtunites to succeed outside of the classroom or lecture hall.

Living in Washington DC a couple blocks from the White House is surreal. The city is an amazing assett.

Students here, especially in comparison to other schools, are extremely driven and extremely political. Since we are in DC, we draw a lot of people who are interested in politics and international affairs. GW is also unique in that DC draws a lot of famous public figures, (such as the Dalai Lama, the Pope, and Hilary Clinton in the past year), to appear on campus or by campus. GW students are provided with constant opportunities to see such figures speak.

The city campus, the opportunity for internships, the alumni network, unique professors

What's most unique about my school is that there are countless opportunities to learn both in and out of the classroom due to what both the university and the city has to offer. A student can also find any type of student club or organization imaginable on this campus.

The fact that it is in downtown DC. We have access to so much; the State Department and the White House are just a few blocks from campus; the IMF and World Bank are literally on our campus. We have the entirety of DC at our disposal. Unlike Georgetown, we have a metro stop on our campus which allows for easy access to much of the city, including Capitol Hill and K Street, where a lot of the non-profit and lobbying organizations have headquarters. We also have access to the Library of Congress for research.

My school is in the heart of washington dc and the opportunities and connections that you can make are interminable.
