Yes

Absolutely.

yes, the majority of the students blow.

GW gives quite a few scholarships and there are a range of people that attend the school on different budgets and who come from different backgrounds. I've met so many people who have offered unique perspectives from their unusual upbringings and it's really opened my eyes to other cultures and divisions. As for the political junkie stereotype, GW is a place for anyone with any interest. There are plenty of people who could care less about politics and they find their place in another area of the school. While it's great for the people that love civic learning and who want to take advantage of the opportunities offered at GW and in D.C., it's not the only option.
