[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ISO a Georgetown that is not actually in Georgetown

Our child did a name-blind matching exercise for colleges and Georgetown is an excellent fit for many academic and social reasons not related to reputation. But we live 20 minutes away from GU.

We've looked at many lists and rankings and asked around, but feels like maybe we're missing something? The high school counselor is useless.

Any ideas on 5-10,000 student schools in or very near major urban area?

Not looking for perfect match. Since there are so many GU alumni in the area, we figure they might have faced a similar situation of looking for GU at a distance.

thx

Are you asking for similar schools to GWU but not in DC? Have you looked at Tulane in New Orleans or Rice University in Houston? [/quote]

Rice was my immediate thought. Also the Claremont colleges.[/quote]

I am from Houston and went to Georgetown. I think the two universities (and student bodies) seemed really different on recent tours with my kid.[/quote]

Ah interesting. I'b be curious to hear what the differences are that you observed? Or any general themes?
