Georgetown v UVA?

[Anonymous]

In terms of quality of education, support for undergrads, post-graduate opportunities, any reason to encourage DC to choose one rather than the other? DC is on the fence. OOS so money not an issue either way.

SFS or College at Gtown?

If money isn’t an issue, Georgetown for sure. Mine can’t decide because we are in state.

College.

As a Gtown alum who knows and hires from the school, I’d say UVA if instate tuition and Gtown if not. I love Georgetown for what it did for me, but it’s pricy and UVA is great and the price os right for instate.

I attended one and work at the other. You have two great options. And for all the ways they’re different (private/public, big city/college town, no Greek life/big Greek life), they also have a lot of similarities (lots of prep school kids/money, very strong humanities, engaged student bodies, lots of activities).

I think it really comes down to your kid’s preferences: how big of a student body are they looking for? Are they looking for a big football school? Does the Jesuit ethos appeal to them? How important is the beauty/feel of the campus? Do they want Greek life? Does the idea of going to school in the city appeal to them?

I don’t think you can go wrong academically, so I’d focus on lifestyle.

? Football games at UVA are a big deal. It’s not Michigan, but the social culture around football games is real. Not so at Georgetown.

If Business or Foreign Service, Georgetown.

If price is same or not a factor, Georgetown.

I went to uva undergrad and Georgetown for grad

They are pretty different schools. They both have a preppy vibe, and have great reputations academically, but that’s pretty much where the similarities end, so I agree to choose based on fit.

Which one would your dc like more?

OOS UVA is $10k less than Georgetown full pay. It’s also less expensive to live at UVA
