What are the academics like at George Washington University?

For the most part, the teachers know your name. In big classes, that's obviously harder, but you just have to make an effort. Most students study in the library, but many like Starbucks, as well. The academic program is definitely geared towards getting a job, and they put a lot of pressure on this from the beginning.

Most of the classes at GW are small enough that you can talk to professor. There is usually plenty of room for discussion, and while most of the school is pretty liberal, there is a variety of views present on campus. A lot of kids here focus on political science, international relations, or business. There are a lot of internships available, and many of these translate into jobs. Overall the classes are not too difficult, although there are definitely professors here who know how to challenge their classes.

It depends on the student. Many are very driven, and are academically committed, and some don't. It also depends on what they are studying, as some programs are better than others in the school. EXCELLENT International Affairs program, one of the most respected in the nation.
