[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone tell us what is was like for your child to go to Georgetown if you are from this area? [/quote]
Back to OP’s question.

We live in MoCo and my DS is a sophomore at Georgetown and loving it. I know this primarily because the automatic metro card refills often, and when we finally saw him at Thanksgiving he graciously gave us a glimpse of a few of. He things he’s involved in. I think being familiar with the region and metro has been a real benefit. Last year during virtual freshman year, he moved into an apartment in College Park with his older brother and two other friends. They were completely independent all year, and I know he met up with other Georgetown freshmen whose parents moved them into apartments/hotels in DC last year. Last year he really did his own thing all year. This year he’s relaxed a little more and will occasionally ask to borrow a car to take friends hiking or skiing.

I think that being in a somewhat familiar area, but completely independent from “home” and parents was a great choice. He’s very mature and confident about all of things he’s involved with, finances, connections, etc. He’s in SFS and likely to end up in a government job, so all around great choice.[/quote]
