College Profile: Georgetown University

I recently had the opportunity to tour Georgetown University. It had been a while and I was pleased to see that the campus was even more stunning than I remember. The students are engaged, enthusiastic, and looking to change the world. The school has an excellent track record with intership and job placement, and the alumni network is top-notch. DC has endless opportunities to provide this student body. Additionally, this area of Washington DC is filled with amazing restaurants and shops.
