Georgetown is living in the past even the school of foreign service.

Clearly you aren't associated with the foreign service, diplomacy or international business or international trade.

Saying Vanderbilt, Emory, or even Notre Dame are better options than Georgetown is just dumb

By every measure Notre Dame is a better school. For one thing, it has ten times the money that Georgetown has. TEN times.

It is. It is literally (a large part of) why people go to TJ, to go to UVA.

I don't think that is true. Fewer have been going. More have been going OOS to good STEM programs.

There is some truth to this, because the antiquated, out of touch (literally - average age is probably 80 years old, and most of them aren't even on this continent) Board dictates what should happen, but they have zero idea of the day to day. If I was a parent or a donor, I would want to know that big changes need to be made - starting with abolishing that Board.

Well, one of the reasons being that's not necessarily true, especially in the humanities and international affairs (which are ironically UVA's strength compared to other publics)

Georgetown is also much smaller, located in a great part of DC, attracts a very large number of students from across the world that tend to be political/financial elites of their respective countries.

Much better than attending a school full of rural public school kids who can't keep up, 66% in-state and the rest being upper-middle-class suburbanites from NYC metro.

If tuition and cost of living are not an issue, these are very good reasons to attend Georgetown over UVA.

Sorry UVA said no, I guess.
