[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe not exactly what you're looking for since this was several years ago, but I attended Georgetown SFS as a a DMV local (grew up in CCMD) and I loved it. Like others have said, it wasn't necessarily my intention to stay close by, but the program was perfect and I loved it when I visited. It was really nice to be able to come home without having to travel or fly. Outside of holidays, breaks, and an occasional weekend where I wanted to come home, I didn't go to my parents' house that often and I felt pretty removed from home living on campus.

I don't know what kids do now (and maybe it's different because I grew up in the suburbs), but living on campus still felt like a new experience because I didn't spend much time in DC growing up - we'd go for museums and events and dinner sometimes, but my friends and I hung out in Bethesda, not DC. Georgetown (the neighborhood) is an amazing place to go to school. It feels like a peaceful neighborhood, but DC is so accessible.

The academic environment (and social environment, to an extent) is a pressure cooker. But for what the program is, you really can't do better. I got to take a class with Madeleine Albright as an undergrad, and the general quality and experience of professors is amazing. Plus the campus speakers and guest speakers that the university (and specifically the SFS) has access to is really impressive.[/quote]

The is the feedback that I have received, as a non SFS parent. I don't think it matters if your DC is close to home or not, when they are attending Georgetown. [/quote]
