Hi! I'm currently a high school student going into my senior year and Georgetown is one of my top choices. More specifically the School of Foreign Service. However, I'm a little concerned about the culture. I'm extremely into screamo, hardcore, emoviolence, metalcore and all those adjacent genres and scenes I have piercings, and dress in a more alternative way. I've heard Georgetown is very preppy. Would I have a hard time fitting in, finding people that share interests, and making friends as someone more alternative?

I'm not sure if this is the right subreddit but I've recently read a decent amount of Marxist and communist literature and have found it fascinating. However, I now want to look at the other side and read works advocating for liberalism and capitalism. What are some good books for that?

I saw a tik Tok today about the Tiananmen Square Protests and in it, it said that the protesters were actually pushing for a return to a more traditional maoist economic program. However, in my brief research I've seen that that's not true, and they were pushing for market liberalization. One thing I didn't see much of was the specific policies or actions they wanted the government to undertake.
