Georgetown University Reviews

"Georgetown University price is a reflection of more than the facilities or the education. You are posting into the Alumni network, that is the only way you will be able to get a job to combat the burden of student loans."

"Georgetown University is one of the top graduate schools in the country. They have a excellent and dedicated staff to help you at any time you need it. Georgetown University is also ranked highly for their academic and technological advancements in every subject they offer, including tumor biology. Furthermore, they offer a plethora of financial aid to its students so they can focus on their studies. If you want a well rounded, diverse and dedicated staff, this is the place to go."

"The SMP is a strong program in preparing you for medical school. Yet looking back in retrospect, I wish I had attended a program that had a linkage with the medical school."

"I am in the School of continuing studies and it lacks major resources for students."

"The pros of this program were the connects made, the experience gained from the laboratory requirements, and the diversity of the classes. I easily got into all schools I applied to for my PhD, directly as a result of my experience at Georgetown and the individuals I met there. The professors really make themselves available and are extremely accommodating, to ensure the students have the best experience possible. I learned a lot, and overall, the program itself was worth it. The cons are more about the area than the school itself. Georgetown is not on a metro line, for those individuals who do not live walking distance. While there are buses from the downtown DC to Georgetown, the commute can be taxing at times. Cost of living in Georgetown and in DC in general, is extremely expensive! Prepare to go broke as a student. While the Doctoral students have a stipend, the Masters students do not (which is to be expected), so living in DC can definitely put you in the red. The only other negative thing to say is that the city, literally, shuts down with just an inch of snow, which can be really annoying. That's not Georgetown's fault though. Overall, this is a great school, offering a great education! I highly recommend it!"

"Pros: terrific law school, reputation and alumni network.  Cons: cost"

"Georgetown Law is the best program there is for law school: there is no better preparation for a career in politics than this prestigious law school in Washington, D.C."

"The faculty are very accessible and always willing to meet with students. DC is a great area for grad school."

"Great program, great location - a pricy education but it is well worth it in the long run with the connections you make in DC."

"While I loved the subject material, the delivery by the faculty and staff was disappointing. Some teachers were obviously better than others, but I have a sour taste in my mouth from the teachers that I really felt should have given me more."

"Pros: Very academically rigorous. Excellent Reputation. Strong Alumni Network. Cons: Was not pleased with the level of faculty support in my program, as well as lack of financial aid provided."

"- Wonderful faculty connections - Level of teaching is high - Great support for job hunting - Varied course options - Heavy workload - Some restrictions within college"

"Excellent graduate school program with committed professors, wonderful resources and a great alumni network. Strongly recommend it for anyone interested in international development with a strong emphasis on practical skills and knowledge needed as a practitioner."

"Georgetown University Law Center is an enriching experience. The curriculum is extremely rigorous and the faculty and professors are extremely approachable and knowledgeable about the course materials. The pros of attending GULC are the network, the credential and the overall quality of education you will receive. The cons are that there is a lack of diversity and the classes are rather large."

"Beautiful campus where you can learn from those actually involved in creating and shaping current legislation and case law."

"Excellent program so far - most professors have had practical experience in the field and can put students in touch with the proper resources for both career planning and academic achievement. Administration (financial aid, student affairs, housing assistance) leaves much to be desired however."

"GULC is a great law school, with awesome faculty, brilliant peers, a huge alumni base, rigorous academics, and fantastic career services staff. It is very expensive, but they have been very generous with my scholarship amount. Even if you do not get much in grant money, the Georgetown name will help you get a job with a salary that allows you to pay off your loans, and Georgetown's loan repayment program is one of the top programs in the country, for people who want to do non-profit or government work. DC is the perfect location for most lawyers, especially those who want to do government or non-profit work, but there are many large firms here too. The immediate area around the Law Center is not great, but it is very up-and-coming, and campus safety is not an issue."

"Georgetown's McCourt School of Public Policy has a great Public Policy program, the classes are challenging and while the tuition is high, you get what you pay for with the network you gain access to and the resources that are provided."

"Georgetown School of Foreign Services provides the best education in international relations available in the United States. Its faculty are the leading experts in their fields, and the location of the campus is in the heart of the US capital. The network opportunities are unparalleled, and a graduate student leaves this university with applicable skills that will certainly improve one's career."

"Georgetown is an amazing university, with great resources, an incredible faculty, and an unbeatable alumni network. However, it is very expensive to attend. Overall, given the quality of education and access to networking and career building opportunities, Georgetown can't be beat."
