George Washington University Top Questions

GW has a very diverse student body for the most part. The main complaint about the university is that it has an urban campus. I personally dont mind have an urban campus because I feel it creates a better college experience as it closes the gap between the city and the campus, but if you looking for a traditional college campus than maybe GW isnt the place for you.

Persons who are intimidated by city life . People who consider themselves shy or easily discouraged.

Someone who would let a lesser financial standing make them feel inferior and someone who doesn't plan to take advantage of the city and its opportunities.

Someone who likes a campus with green grass everywhere, isolated from cities. Someone who doesn't like the city and wants a definite campus defined area.

Someone who has little motivation and no desire to talk politics.

Anyone who doesn't like being a number in a big crowd. It is often very difficult to make personal connections with faculty and staff because of the large number of students at this univeristy and a prospective student should keep this in mind.

The George Washington University is unlike many other schools. If you are a student, who always wanted to attend a typical school with a college football team and a campus, then GWU is not the school for you. Unlike other schools, GWU does not have a campus. GWU is integrated in the center of Washington, DC, having pedestrians, tourist, and workers walking around all the time. Therefore, a student, who wants to attend the schools that they see in movies or television, should not apply to GWU.

This school definitely isn't for everyone but it was the perfect place for me. It feels right. Some people, however, do not feel the same way. Transferring is their escape. I think the kind of person that shouldn't attend this school is a closed minded person, a person who doesn't want to get involved, a person who values social life over academics, a very conservative person, a person who wants a small rural campus where the classes are, and a person who doesn't like diversity. GW is diverse, open, and academic. It's tough but awesome.
