[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Georgetown - Graduated in 1989.  The school hasn't repaired, replaced or updated one single thing since I was there. Even the graffiti is still there.  The same old broken stair railing too !!

They updated some rooms in White-Gravenor. there is tons of new construction since 1989. TONS![/quote]

But the old crap is still old and crappy.  Yep a few rooms here, a sports field there.  It's so very run down for the price. I literally noticed some of the exact same issues from 1989.[/quote]

As someone who worked at Georgetown for a long time, I can say unequivocally that the campus is a dump. The school is notorious for under-investing in its physical plant. Sure, they put up new buildings once in a while (and have eradicated all green space except Healy Lawn in the process), but they don't maintain their facilities. Academic buildings and residences alike suffer from a myriad of plumbing, sewage, mold, and pest issues -- issues that only grow worse over time.  [/quote]

Yup, surprised nobody has shared this Instagram account yet.  A good picture of what awaits the new Georgetown freshman.  https://www.instagram.com/p/CTKhM5sAJQ_/

There are so many posts and sites like this about Georgetown. How crazy they are not to do a better job maintaining the place!! They charge enough tuition.

I went to a meeting there and was shocked at the state of the chairs and couches in community buildings. Legs broken off, so stained you could catch some disease by sitting on them. Really short-sighted![/quote]

When things were closed down, we did some driving tours of Georgetown homes. Well, we visited campus and were surprised at how small and twisted up it is. I've been on campus for public lectures and such yet I'd never seen much the campus and was surprised at how cramped it is for the price. [/quote]
