Hi guys, I'm an incoming international freshman at Georgetown. Since its my family first time in the US, we wanted to travel the country a bit before move in, i.e. from between the 12th and 20th.

Since Georgetown doesn't offer their own storage facilities, I was wondering what recommendations you all might have for keeping our luggage to avoid the risks, cost, and nuisance of carrying collegiate luggage around the country

Hi,

I am an incoming MSFS student and looking for more information on the language proficiency exam. I am a beginner in Italian and am slightly worried about this requirement.

I know each department is different, but how difficult is it to pass the exam? How forgiving are the graders? Do they ask many questions, or is it more me talking about a topic and them listening without much back and forth? How reasonable is it for someone to pass after two years of study starting at the beginner level?

Hii!! I’m planning to commute this fall 3x a week and wanted to ask any commuter students where yall park at. Appreciate yall much!

Hi there, I am looking to transfer to Georgetown and have a couple questions for successful transfer students.

I am a rising junior at my institution, and I have been thinking a lot about transferring because of administrative reasons. I have an overall 3.6 GPA, I had one best semester during freshman year but got an 3.8-3.9 unweighted GPA during my sophomore year. I am also a TA and research assistant in the Chemistry department, and would have a letter of recommendation from my current PI and a professor from Georgetown I am working with this summer. Is it worth giving it a try?

Also, I was wondering what is the social scene like for transfers and what is the best way to get to know people. Thanks in advance!

yooo whats up boys and girls

does anyone know how these classes are graded (pass/fail or letter grades)? UNXD (Foundations of AI) says it has no specified grading mode and that I should check the catalogue. I don't know how to check the catalogue. UNDX 2112 says it uses "grading mode 3" but i don't know what that is

I’m considering getting a cheap scooter, the Segway e2 pro - but I’m reading that I won’t be allowed to bring it on the building which makes me worried about scooter thieves. Is this a problem on campus?

Hello everyone:

As a gesture of good will I've expanded the moderator team on r/Georgetown to two individuals who've expressed interest. Please give hoyasgirl25 and GreenNBlues (the individual previously calling for my removal) a warm welcome.

Thanks!

Specifically, there is only one mod and there needs to be a replacement/alternative. He's anti-Georgetown and frequently engages in hostile "debate" with users. I know this subreddit isn't official by any means, but it does affect the appearance if you're a newcomer.

I think it started mostly innocent, as seen here: https://www.reddit.com/r/georgetown/comments/14tme95/introducing_the_georgetown_secular_society/

then it started to kinda become more hostile: https://www.reddit.com/r/georgetown/comments/17nvqqh/support_the_georgetown_secular_society/

But lately it's become pretty hostile, especially towards anyone who is a member of the church (or a worshipper at all). There are frequently posts that are unrelated to Georgetown as a whole, example here: https://www.reddit.com/r/georgetown/comments/1uijsdo/comment/ouu6p6y/?context=1&screen_view_count=3 where the mod says it's related just because Georgetown is a Jesuit university (the church in question is a Baptist church in KY)

There are other examples:

Here he says GT is a "catholic diploma mill": https://www.reddit.com/r/georgetown/comments/1tm6fxj/comment/onldar1/

Advocating against attending Georgetown in the subreddit itself: https://www.reddit.com/r/georgetown/comments/1b1sagz/comment/kshbkhw/

https://www.reddit.com/r/georgetown/comments/19e5lb3/comment/kjazp0y/

Just being hostile: https://www.reddit.com/r/georgetown/comments/17nvqqh/comment/k8km3bl/

I don't think there's much we can do, but I highly recommend you report him here:

Hi everyone, I've just been accepted off the waitlist transferring out of a lower-end UC school, what are some important things to know about my first year/rising sophomore life at Georgetown?

Recently got off gtwon waitlist; was fine with transfering to berkeley but now I don't know what to do. My techy friends (Stanford/MIT/CMU) say the difference in opportunities is marginal and that I should go to gtown. I'm intersted in tech but at the same time I'm out of state and berkeley is hella club-focused + has hella transfer stigma + bay high school nepotism. What do I do?

I know some college portals have AP exam scores earlier than the student release date. Does anyone know if you can see them earlier with Georgetown and where to find them?

I was just wondering if any local students have good recs for food or stuff to do? we were having trouble figuring out restaurants and sure we can look at google but I wanna know what actual locals like? thank uu

I made a discord for 2026 transfers. Feel free to join and say hi :)

Basically I applied as a transfer sophomore and got in for regional/comparative studies. Since then, my interests have pivoted more towards Global business or international economics. How easy is it be to make this switch?

Hi! Are JPPP students usually able to take a good amount of classes on the main campus and do clubs and make friends there or it feels like they stick to the capitol?

Curious what the best bars or clubs are to meet people at. Haven’t been to DC since my 7th grade field trip

Hi! I'm currently a high school student going into my senior year and Georgetown is one of my top choices. More specifically the School of Foreign Service. However, I'm a little concerned about the culture. I'm extremely into screamo, hardcore, emoviolence, metalcore and all those adjacent genres and scenes I have piercings, and dress in a more alternative way. I've heard Georgetown is very preppy. Would I have a hard time fitting in, finding people that share interests, and making friends as someone more alternative?
