George Washington University Top Questions

G.W. is very diverse and has people of all backgrounds yet at the same time many people here are extremely wealthy which can alienate some. Many students interact with each other but at the same time the school is still somewhat segregated. Many students are very politically active and are predominantly liberal. As a conservative this gives me some grief. Many students do not know how to debate which is rather sad.

Lots of gay kids. LOTS. Everyone has some working political knowledge, the ones that don't really aren't going to live their DC experience to the fullest.

-No one should feel out of place at GW. There is EVERYONE. anything and everything you can think of, GW has. -certain students get really dressed up while others wear just jeans and a t-shirt to class. -four tables: one with a bunch of people having an interesting discussion about what is on CNN right now. one is a PIKE fraternity table with girls trying to talk to them. one is a complete mix of different kinds of people. one is just 4 girls talking and catching up on their days. -most gw students are form jersey/new york. -financial: both ends of the spectrum. -most students become politically aware only after they get to GW, and they have all varied kinds of beliefs.

There is a lot of diversity here, and pretty much anyone could find a niche if they looked. The classroom is generally pretty relaxed. The biggest clicks would probably be within Greek life. Besides that there aren't that many exclusions. Most students are from the tri-state area and generally well-off financially. The majority of students are liberal, but the conservatives are very outspoken.

I think GW is somewhat diverse but it depends where you look at it from. I am in greek life and the majority seems to be upper middle class white people. A lot of the student body seems to be from ny, nj, pennsylvania, or miami and jewish. The majority of people also seem to be wealthy, or maybe it it just that the flaunt their money. I originally thought most people were liberal but i keep meeting a lot of conservatives and yes people are pretty political.

There are so many international students here and everyone interacts with everyone.

Students at GW are very politically involved, for the most part. There are definitely pockets of students, however, that are completely clueless when it comes to current affairs and public policy. The campus is predominently liberal leaning, but there is a vocal conservative population. Many GW students are quite affluent, but GW also provides huge amounts of need based and merit based scholarships so qualified students can come here.

Very political and ambitious individuals but also a good portion where you think "how did they get in to this school?!" a huge jewish population a huge homosexual population most students are pretty open and accepting People wear everything to class, from sweats to suites, but you rarely see girls in heels in class

There is a huge population from New Jersey, New York, and Boston. A lot of students are wealthy but not everyone. There is a very large Jewish community on campus. Politics on campus are huge. We have been voted the most politically active campus and its clear. Don't be fooled because not everyone is obsessed with politics, and you don't have to talk about it, but it certainly is a big topic. The campus is pretty left wing with a huge College Democrats organization but what the College Republicans lack in size, they make up for in energy and involvement.

im not sure what student would feel out fo place here... we have awide range of poeple even though a lot are from the northeast.. we have every ethnicity every origin. to class.. most students dress nicely... no sweatpants and sweatshirts reallly. i think most of the kids here are pretty financially stable to say the least.. by the mere fact that parents are spendign $53,000 to send their kids to this school says a lot.
