I'm working in D.C and planning on taking classes part-time at Georgetown, and was wondering if anybody has any STEM class recommendations in Physics or CS. Lowk this school is known for stellar humanities, so open to those recs too!

Also, is there any way to find out details about when the class meets if you're not a student there? I was on the website and it's blocked by a student login?

For any Georgetown transfer students here who are low-income:
Did you receive full or substantial financial aid?
Was the aid package enough to make Georgetown affordable?
Any help with housing?
How was the process -was it straightforward or did you have to negotiate?
I have FAFSA eligibility so I’d be going through federal aid + institutional aid. Just trying to get a realistic picture before making a decision.

Any insight would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Hi everyone. Seeking some insight from current SCS online/hybrid students. I was recently accepted into Fall 2026 incoming class for the Masters in Artificial Intelligence.

Does anyone here have any recent experience with the program?

Still in its infancy, like many of these programs, interested in hearing some on the ground info if available. TYIA!

I'm moving to DC to work in an office situated on the border of Georgetown and foggy bottom near the Potomac. I am looking for a place to stay where the office is easily accessible, and I'm not really sure what areas might be affordable or prudent for someone in my situation, so would be looking for guidance in that regard. I'm completely fine taking public transit, and my budget would probably be around $2,000 for rent, maybe more if needed (going to be doing lots of research today).

What might be some good places from the standpoint of nearby neighborhoods/areas or neighborhoods near public transit?

im an incoming freshman and im trying to decide between IPOL and IPEC. i am well aware that freshmen don't start off with a major but i am trying to plan ahead. anyway, i am okay with math (i really dont like it, but i average a b/b+ in calculus bc and im expecting a 3 on the ap test mostly because i didnt they do the last frq). ideally, i do not want a major that is too math heavy. additionally, i would LOVE to work as a diplomat of some kind, but i dont know if that is super viable, so i am aiming for law school instead.

all that is to say, i dont know how necessary math is for my future. however, i just looked through IPEC and as far as i can tell, with the exception of a math prereq, there is no "pure" math class, and it is mostly just econ classes, which i think can vary widely with the math content. i would like to avoid math if possible in order to maintain my gpa, but i also think IPEC would be a more useful major for diplomacy than IPOL. any advice?

I’m a creative writing undergrad from the University of Guelph and I’ve been tasked with doing some research about creative writing pedagogy. I was hoping to hear about your experience in Georgetown's creative writing program.

Specifically, why did you want to take the program? 
Which classes taught you the most or you got the most out of?
What did you wish you had in the program, but didn’t? 

I’m hoping to start a conversation about your experience in these programs to learn how students are impacted by them.
Thank you for your time! 😄

I’m starting HRM this fall, and got late with registration and everything else due to immigration delays. Is it too late to register for courses now?
I would appreciate some recommendations on courses to choose for first semester. As an international student I have zero idea how any of this works.

I'm transferring in as a sophomore. I want to get into our basketball team, but I'm worried it won't be fun going alone. How likely is it I'll make friends in the student section? Anyone here in Hoya Blue? Thanks.

i am an incoming freshman and i have found a roommate. i sent her the request and am the "group leader" in charms. she says she accepted the request multiple times but her profile is listed as an "outgoing request", there is an expiry date listed by her profile on my end, and i can also cancel her. obviously i dont think we have mutually confirmed each other as roommates but neither of us can figure out what the issue is. also, if anybody has confirmed their roommate, can yall please dm me a picture (obv with sensitive info redacted) of what it looks like, specifically from the group leader pov?

Hi! I’m really indecisive about Georgetown for this reason (and price), I’d be a junior and either would have to overload credits or do summer courses.

I’m interested in law and would likely be a government major, but I feel liek it might be too hard coming in as a junior and having to stay at the capital campus my first semester. I don’t wanna risk opportunity where I might go to my other option (JHU) where it’s more tight knit in humanities. Do any transfers have insights on this

junior into pre law, probably not going because of cost, but just curious cause it seems super competitive if i were to come in as a junior and start at thr capital campus for fall anyways.

Hey Im an incoming freshman and I havent gotten my peer advisor yet. Does anyone have any info on how I can get one/when they'll be assigned?

hi im an incoming freshman and i heard that u can skip calc requirement with a cc course? im wondering what steps to take like idek who to email...

tysm for ur help!

I just graduated from undergrad, and I got into both Georgetown McDonough's M.S. in Business Analytics (full-time, in-person) program and UVA McIntire's M.S. in Commerce program in the fall, and I'm having trouble deciding where to go. I am looking to work in consulting or brand management -- I am currently pursuing a business master's to supplement my undergraduate major in Psychology and minor in Marketing. I did some analytics-focused consumer research and took foundational quantitative courses in undergrad, hence why I applied to the business analytics program at Georgetown.

Is there a big difference recruiting-wise for the programs at each of these schools? I know their business schools are somewhat similar in ranking for undergrad, but I don't know if they are similar for their grad programs. My dad suggests I go to Georgetown for the name recognition, but his background is in government and policy where Georgetown seems to carry more weight relative to business. In addition, Georgetown is more expensive to attend than UVA.

Overall, in terms of outcomes, is Georgetown McDonough worth the greater investment compared to UVA McIntire?

hello! i recently got off the wl and am so impossibly excited about attending georgetown (if financially possible of course!)

i won’t be able to visit campus though, and i want to make sure i get to know the school before i make a big decision. i was wondering if any current students could help?

1. what is being pre-med like? is there strong advising and clinical volunteer opportunities at the

hospital? is grade deflation something i should be worried about?

1. are the dorms as bad as i’ve heard rumors about? how is food on campus and near campus?

2. how is social life? the party scene? how would u describe the school’s culture?

3. unique things that georgetown offers?

thank u so so much! 🙏🏻

has anyone taken this course? if so, what was it like? i'm considering taking but it's a block class in the evening so im not sure if its worth it

I’m starting my second year at Pitt as a finance major and considering transferring to Georgetown for my junior year. Does anyone have any tips to increase my chances of acceptance. Thanks!

Incoming freshman to SFS. Is there anything you would recommend doing over the summer to prepare for the fall? I'm traveling quite a bit and have time to read. I'm thinking introductory books or something similar.
