I’m considering getting a cheap scooter, the Segway e2 pro - but I’m reading that I won’t be allowed to bring it on the building which makes me worried about scooter thieves. Is this a problem on campus?
Specifically, there is only one mod and there needs to be a replacement/alternative. He's anti-Georgetown and frequently engages in hostile "debate" with users. I know this subreddit isn't official by any means, but it does affect the appearance if you're a newcomer.
I think it started mostly innocent, as seen here: https://www.reddit.com/r/georgetown/comments/14tme95/introducing_the_georgetown_secular_society/
then it started to kinda become more hostile: https://www.reddit.com/r/georgetown/comments/17nvqqh/support_the_georgetown_secular_society/
But lately it's become pretty hostile, especially towards anyone who is a member of the church (or a worshipper at all). There are frequently posts that are unrelated to Georgetown as a whole, example here: https://www.reddit.com/r/georgetown/comments/1uijsdo/comment/ouu6p6y/?context=1&screen_view_count=3 where the mod says it's related just because Georgetown is a Jesuit university (the church in question is a Baptist church in KY)
There are other examples:
Here he says GT is a "catholic diploma mill": https://www.reddit.com/r/georgetown/comments/1tm6fxj/comment/onldar1/
Advocating against attending Georgetown in the subreddit itself: https://www.reddit.com/r/georgetown/comments/1b1sagz/comment/kshbkhw/
https://www.reddit.com/r/georgetown/comments/19e5lb3/comment/kjazp0y/
Just being hostile: https://www.reddit.com/r/georgetown/comments/17nvqqh/comment/k8km3bl/
I don't think there's much we can do, but I highly recommend you report him here:

Hello everyone:
As a gesture of good will I've expanded the moderator team on r/Georgetown to two individuals who've expressed interest. Please give hoyasgirl25 and GreenNBlues (the individual previously calling for my removal) a warm welcome.
Thanks!
Growing up, I didn’t even know Georgetown was Catholic, and I'm a Notre Dame guy. I know Notre Dame is one of the jokes among many Catholics who say it’s not a Catholic school anymore, but at the end of the day it still plays a huge role in campus life and is still a big deal, and a lot of Catholics still always defend ND. I don’t see the same for BC, Holy Cross, Fordham, and especially Georgetown; in fact, many Catholics say it is “a lost cause”. I get that the Jesuits founded the school, but what is it like now? is the faith still a big thing on campus? Is it still a faithful Catholic school, or is it more secular?
I was just wondering if any local students have good recs for food or stuff to do? we were having trouble figuring out restaurants and sure we can look at google but I wanna know what actual locals like? thank uu
I know some college portals have AP exam scores earlier than the student release date. Does anyone know if you can see them earlier with Georgetown and where to find them?
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?
For any Georgetown transfer students here who are low-income:
Did you receive full or substantial financial aid?
Was the aid package enough to make Georgetown affordable?
Any help with housing?
How was the process -was it straightforward or did you have to negotiate?
I have FAFSA eligibility so I’d be going through federal aid + institutional aid. Just trying to get a realistic picture before making a decision.
Any insight would be really appreciated. Thanks!
I'm working in D.C and planning on taking classes part-time at Georgetown, and was wondering if anybody has any STEM class recommendations in Physics or CS. Lowk this school is known for stellar humanities, so open to those recs too!
Also, is there any way to find out details about when the class meets if you're not a student there? I was on the website and it's blocked by a student login?
im an incoming freshman and im trying to decide between IPOL and IPEC. i am well aware that freshmen don't start off with a major but i am trying to plan ahead. anyway, i am okay with math (i really dont like it, but i average a b/b+ in calculus bc and im expecting a 3 on the ap test mostly because i didnt they do the last frq). ideally, i do not want a major that is too math heavy. additionally, i would LOVE to work as a diplomat of some kind, but i dont know if that is super viable, so i am aiming for law school instead.
all that is to say, i dont know how necessary math is for my future. however, i just looked through IPEC and as far as i can tell, with the exception of a math prereq, there is no "pure" math class, and it is mostly just econ classes, which i think can vary widely with the math content. i would like to avoid math if possible in order to maintain my gpa, but i also think IPEC would be a more useful major for diplomacy than IPOL. any advice?
I’m starting HRM this fall, and got late with registration and everything else due to immigration delays. Is it too late to register for courses now?
I would appreciate some recommendations on courses to choose for first semester. As an international student I have zero idea how any of this works.
