[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stumbled across this article on Instagram and as a parent of a kid who was just accepted and considering Georgetown, I am not sure I should share this with them. Really disappointing read. I wonder if anyone in the know can chime in on the situation at Georgetown. [b]Are students that unhappy?[/b] I know my kid likes the idea of school spirit. They may have to consider other options, including BC and ND. Unfortunately ND was a deferral. Won't know about BC until the spring either.

And to the HC poster, yes they applied. They made it super easy with a fee waiver and no supplemental essay.

Somehow I didn't read it this way. From the article - seems to me sports is just not their top priority.

[b]Students are politically engaged, socially conscious, and care deeply about the world around them. They show up, but not for Georgetown athletics. [/b]

They happy and care for the world a different way. If your kid is really big into sports, GU may not be the place. Their basketball is getting better but football games on campus almost always look empty. I think students want their teams to be good first then cheer them forward .. lol.

…and they are too busy dodging rats to care about school spirit. [/quote]
