[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My take as recent high school grad who toured both:

Theyre very comprable. Personally I think more highly of GW bc it is a more substantial research university-- med school, more engineering, better law school. IMO employers, international people/companies, and people in general have higher opinion of GW for the same reason, my peer group did.

I liked GW campus better too, I didnt mind how urban it was-- closer to public transport potential jobs and internships etc. I only applied to GW, Elliott IR school, was accepted w merit scholarship, opted against it, heres what i didnt like abt GW: they basically invented the skyrocketing tuition that has since been emulated by literally every other college, read the atlantic article abt how tacky their president was-- building spree, higher tuition, total shift away from mission statement of university. Also, it seemed like wealth divisions would stand out quite strongly-- ie there is no dining hall on campus, so I assume wealthier kids find that quite easy, but that seems like a total middle finger to poor kids for whom that might pose a challenge. Money isnt an issue for my fam but that seems quite insensitive and gross of the university to do. [/quote]
I worked at GW and yes, the wealth divisions are real. The boujee tri-staters can be a lot to handle.[/quote]
