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.

This. I have been to campus for professional reasons. I am really allergic to molds. I had a horrible coughing fit, ran into a bathroom that turned out to be a janitors closet that was disgusting. I ran out and ducked into a bathroom that had no working toilets. I have been to a lot of college campuses and it actually was the grossest I have ever been to.

Same. I was there for a meeting. The chairs in the lounge were either broken (literally missing legs and unusable) or so disgustingly stained that I feared sitting on them.

Much worse than any college I have ever visited (and I have been to probably 50).

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.

A.) I don't think students attend GU for the "infrastructure".

B.) If you read credible sources, you would not have to resort to this troll post.

Notice how all of the contrarian views are made up of snarky, defensive comments. No one says, "well I went there and it was gorgeous and clean, with functional seating and habitable dorms."

NP. I work there. The campus is old and a bit rundown, and pales compared to peers; this is well-known, and no one who spends significant time there would deny it. But old and decrepit is not the same as unsanitary or filthy, which it is not. It’s functional.

Good to know that your kids will never be at that school.

Good for our kids too. No big loss to them.

DP. I went there and it was fine, not fancy in the manner of today's Pinterest style dorms decorated by parents but certainly not decrepit or disgusting. Some dorms were more run down than others (New South in my day). The classrooms were fine too. I found it comparable to friends' unis that I visited such as Vanderbilt and Tulane. I had a great experience and have had a successful career. It is certainly true that their endowment lags their peers', though. I believe they relied on the Church for too long.

I didn’t start the “pist,” but please keep believing that anyone would have sour grapes over not going to Georgetown or having their kids go to Georgetown. So much delusion.

Agree. Same thing with every disgruntled post re: colleges. Usually the "hate" is aimed at UVA, now this guy is coming out of the woodwork.

So obvious.

Guess what? Some colleges are difficult to get into. Period.

I hear that there is a high acceptance rate for roaches too.

D.C. is choc full of disgruntled people, and this thread is just one example. OP, if you wanted to be happy, you could.

This happened in our elementary school - got so bad the state actually came in and started testing everything. It wasn't the cafeteria or any of the food. Turned out to be classroom sink areas, like the actual soap dispensers.
