These 2 are very different campuses and have different student populations. Your child should visit before deciding because they will be blessed to tell which one they like better.

Cost is not a factor.


I thought Georgetown had a very strong "college town" feel, it just pushes beyond the campus itself. I agree with other posters that the campus is not attractive, but I find Georgetown as a whole to be lovely and it made for a fantastic four years. I visited UVa frequently and thought it was great, but an entirely different experience. I didn't like their particular fraternity/sorority culture.

You're not going to go wrong with either.

Major - Business

Tuition is not a factor
He is a baseball varsity player and has been very social all his life. So I worry that Georgetown will not give him the social sportsy college town feel but he is unable to accept that someone can say no to Georgetown if they get in especially McDonough vs going into UvA and then trying for McIntyre though I believe he will be able to get in based on his personality and social aptitude towards clubs etc

Also he is not sure about going into IB/Consulting/Finance yet ,
Will most probably lean towards management.


This fits Georgetown like a glove. Your worry is misplaced and ill-informed: DS is the prototypical Georgetown student.


This makes no sense to me. I have a super social varsity baseball player and he LOVED UVA and had zero interest in Georgetown.


I agree with this. Baseball is popular at UVA. Electric campus.

sounds like he prefers Georgetown and I think he'd be fine there. I know a couple of girls there who are very social and sporty and they love it.

Are you concerned that Gtown is too expensive?

The bolded comments makes no sense. Both the statements above can be true at the same time - it's called a dialectic. The first poster is correct that a smart, athletic, social kid will fit right it at Georgetown.



And a smart athletic kid will fit in just as well at UVA.
