Georgetown is considering opening a satellite campus......in VA.
Can this be true.....Georgetown types lowering themselves to move to VA!? What are the chances? |

No one is moving to Virginia. A satellite campus would be an extension (not a move) of the brand into the economic heart of the region. The law school was moved into an area that made sense, but wasn't exactly an attractive location at the time. |

I also think GU recently moved another one of the graduate programs downtown. I can't remember which one it was, but I read that the move allowed them to move approximately 1,000 people from the main campus - something I'm sure the neighborhood appreciates.
I haven't heard anything about setting up another one in VA. However, what would be the big deal...I suspect it wouldn't be too far out in VA and would simply be for a specific program and most likely a graduate program. The main campus isn't going anywhere! |

Georgetown moved its School of Continuing Studies downtown (near Chinatown). They've branded it "Georgetown Dowtown." |

I don't know about a campus, but I heard they were thinking of housing some students in Clarendon.
GU should have bought the Mount Vernon campus. How they let GW get that I will never know. |

interesting - b/c I don't think anyone thinks GW or AU's brand is cheapened by having the MV or Tenleytown location. |

| GU is under constant pressure from the neighborhood to cap student numbers. Any move from main campus is related to that pressure. |
