Who's surprised?! |
| Georgetown.hotmess. That school is literally disgusting. |
This account is disgusting. Kids just stand there and laugh while the building floods? |

Big parties happening tonight in Burleith. We’ve lived here for 5 years and this was the loudest we’ve ever heard.
Kids are getting from hanging out with each other. There have been packs of drunk kids roaming our block tonight. It’s not normally like this! |
| It’s literally a stomach virus and the students are getting it from each other and not from the food or dining halls. They live in dorms and share bathrooms, and norovirus spreads through fecal and vomit particles. |
You are making a statement that you have no proof of. Norovirus is spreading through GU because the place is filthy. Here’s another fact. The infrastructure is crumbling, undergraduates are acting out at more than at their usual alarming rates and Georgetown is not well endowed financially. I would never send my kids to GU. |
Um… Pot, meet kettle. |
Ummmm…what does that mean? |
Okay…a little unhinged and totally unrelated to the topic at hand. But also here’s the proof. https://wjla.com/news/local/testing-unknown-stomach-illness-georgetown-norovirus |
Norovirus can spread “if you eat food or drink liquids that are contaminated with the norovirus, touch surfaces or objects contaminated with norovirus and then put your fingers in your mouth, or have direct contact with someone who is infected with norovirus,” according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. |
How do you know where students are getting it from? |
|
It can also be spread through eating utensils and by people who work in the dining hall.
So, I would avoid other people, especially when eating, and wash your hands ALL the TIME! |
| A useful reminder that this school still exists. |
The only time I'm ever reminded of Georgetown is due to news stories like this - rat infestations, mold, cockroaches, flooded dorms... man. It really escapes me how this school is somehow still able to cling onto whatever reputation it has. |
