Why do you all keep harping on the campus?

First of all, there’s more than one attractive building. Healy, Copley, Hariri, Dahlgren Chapel, White Gravenor … all attractive buildings.

Second, most kids who go there don’t care. If I’m an aspiring diplomat and can learn from Madeline Albright, I’d do it in a shack.

Every campus I know first hand, in person (unlike OP) has an iconic building, so your point is moot.

Yeshiva University is 100% Jewish on the undergrad level. Grad programs are a different story.

St. Ignatius of Loyola founded the SOJ. Things like the Examen are pretty fundamental to Jesuit life and was covered in POG when I was at Yale in the last century. Georgetown took that curriculum from Yale, as you probably know.

And Yale stole its college system from Oxford and Cambridge.

Oh look — we’re all making observations!

Yale can’t claim it just because the name is from a series of lectures by a Jesuit priest at Yale.

When I applied to college in the late 90s, there was pressure to go to the most selective college you could get into. I think the point of the OP was that a minuscule acceptance rate does not mean that it is the best. Georgetown’s tiny endowment impacts its quality. Students who can get into Georgetown will have lots of other choices. Think about what awaits after admission before making that choice.

What awaits someone who wants to go into government, international non-profit work, etc is an unparalleled education.

Georgetown does an exceptional job, despite its small endowment.

It was ultimately drawn from Jesuit thought.

Do you seriously need to claim this?

The lectures were in 1962 by Father Murray, SJ. Georgetown started teaching Problem of God in 1967.

But sure — Georgetown stole it from Yale.

Um, no, it's a copyrighted book. But I don't claim it, I just think it's bizarre when Georgetown alumn talk about their super special only-at-Georgetown class.

OP is like a dog playing tug of war, or a small, petulant child stomping their feet.
