LOL Georgetown.

I have a master's from Georgetown. I've lived in southeastern Michigan for the the past 25 or so years. Georgetown simply doesn't exist in the popular consciousness here.

Where I went to school rarely comes up in conversation, but when it does...

I've met exactly two people here in 25 years who were "impressed" in any way about my Georgetown credentials. First was a coworker who was Very Jesuit. If I recall, she went to Boston College and was trying to figure out if I was also Very Jesuit. Second was an acquaintance who is Very Catholic. She was interested in my experience at a Catholic school because at the time her kids were looking into Catholic schools. That person and I also studied in the same somewhat niche field, and we both left the field for unrelated careers (unrelated to field of education and unrelated to each other), so we shared that.

Among those who've heard of Georgetown here, there's some confusion whether it's in the Ivy League. There's also some confusion whether Georgetown is actually in the District of Columbia or nearby. Some people might recall something or other about basketball in the '80s or '90s.[/quote]

Amazing. A BC alum fawning and bowing in obeisance and respect for the superiority of a Georgetown degree. [/quote]
