Georgetown university students are “extremely well aware of the world around them”, possessing knowledge about myriad domains from government to environment, social to economic, and “Georgetown is the only place where an argument over politics, history, or philosophy is preceded by a keg stand.” The students like to have a good time on weekends, and parties at campus and off-campus apartments and townhouses “are generally open to all and tend to have a somewhat networking atmosphere; meeting people you don’t know is a constant theme.”

Washington is the epicenter of global politics. It’s also the hotspot for art, activism, entrepreneurship and public service.
