[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think of NYU in very similar terms as GW. Good private, urban universities in terrific neighborhoods, competitive (but not top tier) for admissions, strong reputations in the liberal arts and social sciences. Not a lot of school spirit. Importantly, both universities are notoriously stingy with financial aid in the form of grants. They give out a shameful amount of loans (which are lumped under "financial aid"), while at the same time doling out financial aid grants in the form of merit scholarship to kids with high stats in order to boost their rankings.

I would allow my child to go but only because we have enough saved such to pay for college.[/quote]

NYU is a much stronger school than GW.

I'm the poster whose kid attended and I was actually surprised. One of my other kids attended Georgetown and I would say the liberal arts courses (talking specifically about English, foreign languages and social sciences) were comparable although the strengths were different and the slant (NYU- liberal and Georgetown traditional) couldn't be more different. NYU was probably better in English and Georgetown in social sciences.

[b]GW is more comparable to UMd[/b] although I would actually say that academically, Maryland is stronger and GW has more of an advantage in the job market. [/quote]

Foggy Bottom beats College Park hands down. [/quote]
