Jameise

The MULTICULTURAL STUDENT SERVICES CENTER.

Deborah

I love the fact that despite GW's reputation for being a "rich kid" school, the majority of the student body is perfectly normal and down to earth. I feel that the GW community is very sophistocated, fun, and liberal. There is no pressure to be anyone besides the person who you already are because people are extremely accepting of each other regardless of cultural background, sexual orientation, interests, etc. It is a very diverse school in a very central location. I go to college with amazing people from all over the world and that's an experience in itself.

Jonthan

I tell my friends about how easy the school is. How i have really high grades in all my subjects and find that school is really easy. In addition, i brag about my social life and how much it has flourished. I really have made alot of friends and i like to let people know that when they ask me.

Lisa

It's location. The DC area is fascinating and is really the only reason I haven't transfered yet.

Lindsey

1. Despite the cost, the financial aid is so great here (guaranteed and almunus grants), that I pay less to go here than it would be to attend NYU or even my local public college. 2. I get to do and see things I never thought I would have access to: I saw the Pope in his visit to DC from my library, I work with a development agency teaching within DC public schools about Human Rights; I have a job 10 min. from my dorm; I study for spring exams on the national mall.

I brag that I live just blocks from The White House and have gotten to meet a ridiculous amount of very important, over paid people.

Monica

It's in the middle of frickin DC! IOne day I was on my way to McDonald's and I happened to pass a Chinese republic protest randomly happening just three blocks off campus. You can't see that anywhere else.

Aiden

Its location in DC and the quality of the professors. The language, econ and fine arts departments have varying funding but equally brilliant professors.

Katrina

The thing I brag about most when talking to my friends is how amazing it is to livein the heart of Washington, DC. GWU is a great place for people to make connections, get internships during the semester, and explore the history of our country. My dorm is only 3 blocks from the White House, which I think is pretty incredible. There is always to do in DC and it is all easily accesible because there is a metro/subway station right on campus, along with a great transportation system that can get you anywhere in the city.
