[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]tour Georgetown and GWU Elliot school twice for two kids and both times left so much more impressed with GW.

my kids chose elsewhere, but it's got so much to offer[/quote]

I toured both recently for my kid, and many years ago was there as a student myself. Georgetown is now quite run down compared to GW, which is overflowing with money and has spent it on attracting professorial talent, building renovations and student services. In previous decades, Georgetown was the nicer, more traditional, most intellectually elevated campus experience. Now it still has that lovely traditional experience, but unless you get one of those nice penthouse dorms they show you on the tour... it's not as comfortable, or necessarily a more rigorous intellectual experience than GW.

But this is from someone with close ties to both. The general reputation of both schools, and indeed all colleges and unis, always depends largely on past decades, instead of current circumstances. That's why it's so hard to assess school quality.
