LOL what? GW has ridiculous tuition for a mediocre education.

I don't think people hate certain schools - GT, GW, UVa, or UMD (ones most frequently argued here). It's just that when posters start posting unreasonable and incorrect things, people push back. Have you seen the NEU thread? That's a good example.

Georgetown grad here.
There are things to dislike about every school. For Georgetown it’s:
Weak endowment
Georgetown area is a pain/no metro/no parking
Super expensive
Lots of rich international students
Preppy vibe
For DC locals it isn’t far enough away as I’d want for my kids to attend
Catholic/Jesuit might turn some off (not me)

The one that really confuses me is the people who always compare Georgetown and Notre Dame for the express purpose of putting down Georgetown. I don't get why they can't both be worthwhile schools? It's not like there can only be one Jesuit school. I'm not Catholic but this one always confounds me.
ND is not Jesuit.

Everybody thinks their favorite college gets bad reviews here.
Except UVA with a lot of boosters.

I do not get it either. It is a fine school with excellent career results.

Aah, so we have two reasons already.
The religious haters.
The rejected.

Most people can't get in anyway, so liking or hating it is futile.

My opinion? I don't like religiously-affiliated institutions.

As a foreigner living in the US and looking at colleges with my junior, I have wondered that recently. Is it because it's a local private, and kids want to go further away? On paper it looks like a great school, and my son wouldn't mind staying in the area.
