Would You RecommendYes
Quality faculty, variety of course offerings, chill atmosphere, access to opportunities being in the nation's capital, rich and long-standing tradition and culture.
DownersThe cost. Tuition is high and the cost of living in DC is high.
CommentsIf you get in, go. Gtown attracts amazing people from diverse backgrounds so you'll never be lacking in thought-provoking conversation. Grades are important but not the only thing that matters, so you're more likely to enjoy the learning process. Also, professor generally treat you as an equal.
