Georgetown

Access & Affordability

Virtual college tours could offer benefits that outlast pandemic.

COVID-related safety precautions shifted many college tours to a virtual experience, but the approach may end up having long-term value as a tool for recruiting students who cannot afford to travel or face other barriers to exploring campuses in-person, The Chronicle of Higher Education reports.

The nature and quality of virtual college tours can vary widely. Some institutions load videos onto YouTube; others rely on Google Maps. A platform called YouVisit (which hosts Georgetown University’s virtual tour ) provides interactivity and 360-degree views.

Investing in virtual tours as an equity tool

While their approaches may differ, colleges are increasingly unified in their enthusiasm for offering and optimizing their virtual experiences. Done well, virtual tours can have “significant benefits” for students who cannot get to campus because of financial constraints, child care responsibilities, and other barriers, Ffiona Rees, board chair of the National Association for College Admission Counseling, told The Chronicle . “Virtual allows students to look at a much broader range of colleges, as far as size, as far as type, as far as geographic location,” she said.

More than three quarters of admissions officials surveyed this August by Inside Higher Ed said they assume that some (or many) students will continue to use videos instead of visiting campuses. YouVisit, meanwhile, has added 160 new clients since the pandemic began, according to The Chronicle .

What improvements would appeal to prospective students?

Noting that some virtual college tours remain institution-centric, not student-centric, The Chronicle interviewed several first-generation students about opportunities for virtual college tours to better serve student needs. Their responses indicated “a need for more human interactions, real-time Q&A opportunities, insights into the surrounding community, virtual sessions spotlighting clubs, and translation services, among other things.”

One student out of California with a goal of studying cardiology suggested making virtual tours available in Spanish so that non-English-speaking parents could be more involved.

Another student who now hosts biweekly live virtual college tours at New York University said his group of “ambassadors” has had success combining real-time narration, a slide show, and a closely monitored chat section. He said that about 70 people attend each virtual session and tend to come from a wider range of backgrounds than participants on the in-person tours he also hosts. Saying that “virtual options are better at reaching first-generation students and students from low-income backgrounds,” he urged colleges to “keep this channel open.”

The History of Georgetown Law

Georgetown University Law Center (GULC) began modestly in 1870 when the Directors of Georgetown University recommended the establishment of a separate department to train lawyers. It was the first law school established in the United States by a Jesuit institution of higher learning.

In the fall of 1870, with high expectations and tenuous financial structure, Georgetown’s law school enrolled 25 students from 12 states and Cuba. The course of study required two years of evening classes. Though the law school weathered heavy financial storms and other worrisome problems common to new schools, the vision of its early leaders, the reputation of the law school’s faculty members, and the record of the school’s first graduates enhanced the school’s reputation. In 1890, construction began on a new law school building at 506 E Street, N.W., which had the remarkable capacity of 600 students.

After 80 years in its Victorian quarters on E Street, the Law Center moved to 600 New Jersey Avenue and the original Bernard P. McDonough Hall. The Edward Bennett Williams Law Library was built in 1989. The 1993 dedication of the Bernard S. and Sarah M. Gewirz Student Center added a residential component to the campus, as well as a fitness center and child care center. The expansion of McDonough Hall, dedicated in the spring of 1997, completes the three building Law Center campus.

While once a rudimentary handful of courses embracing the barest fundamentals of legal practice, the curriculum is now as broad and diverse as any offered in the country with over 400 courses and seminars. It includes the nation’s largest clinical program, as well as joint degree programs in law, business, foreign service (international relations), public health, philosophy, government, and a special program for Public Interest Law Scholars. Although the approximately 80 percent of the students study full-time for their J.D. degree, the Law Center has retained the historical evening division with its outstanding reputation for the academic strength of its students and curriculum.

Applying to Georgetown

We believe you will find Georgetown’s application process highly personalized.

Whether you hail from a small, rural community or a major metropolitan area – or somewhere in between – you will find a place among Georgetown’s dynamic and talented community of students.

Georgetown’s commitment to ensuring a diverse student body is evidenced through its need-blind admission process and its commitment to meet 100% of the demonstrated financial need for all eligible students. Every undergraduate applicant receives admission consideration without regard to his or her financial circumstances. Once admitted, every student will have his or her demonstrated financial need met in full. Visit Diversity and Access page of our website to learn more about the Georgetown’s diverse community.

Georgetown University: Campus Visit Tips

  • Post author By Kathryn Baker
  • Post date November 12, 2020

College tours can be a hassle, but they don’t have to be! Whether you travel by car, train, or plane, here are the top three things to know before visiting Georgetown University!

georgetown university virtual tour

GEORGETOWN – The college decision process should be exciting. It is a phase of preparation for your next stage of life, an opportunity to assert your independence, and a path to self-discovery. Unfortunately, the excitement of the season is too often buried by daunting demographics, last-minute visits, and vague college counselors. 

 As a recent college graduate, I understand how difficult the application process is for parents and students. Though I eventually made it to my dream school, I know my road to Georgetown could have been less rocky if I had had some insider knowledge. 

Enter: this article. I want the hunt for your dream school to be as hassle-free as possible, so I’m sharing the top three things to know before you visit Georgetown University. Whether your journey takes two minutes, two hours, or two planes, here are some tips to touring the “Hilltop”. 

Transportation Will Cost You

It does not matter if you travel by car, train, or plane — transportation is likely to pose a problem once you arrive. Georgetown is one of the only neighborhoods in the District of Columbia without a Metro stop, meaning that you’ll have to rely on ride-sharing apps, taxis, bikes, or scooter rentals to navigate the city. Depending on where your hotel is located or where you want to eat, an Uber or Lyft could cost you $10-20 per trip. Via is another ride-sharing app which usually has lower rates than Uber or Lyft, though it might take longer for your ride to arrive. You can also take the DC Circulator , which is a free bus that runs through some of the city’s most popular neighborhoods. 

georgetown university virtual tour

If you’re local, another option is to drive or rent a car once you arrive in town. Georgetown’s parking situation, however, is notoriously difficult, and you will have to pay upwards of $20 to park in the Canal Street garage. If you are confident in your parallel parking skills, you can park on 37th, O or P streets. Street parking has a two-hour limit on weekdays but is unrestricted on weekends, if you are able to snag a spot.

If you have the time and are able to do so, I suggest walking your way through Washington, D.C. Walking is a way to connect to the city’s culture and see its historic landmarks in-person. If you have any energy left post-tour, I especially recommend walking to either the Foggy Bottom or Rosslyn Metro stations; the path to Foggy Bottom features an abundance of shops and restaurants, while the walk to Rosslyn takes you over the scenic Key Bridge and offers gorgeous views of the Potomac River and the Washington Monument. 

It is also worth noting that though Georgetown’s campus is relatively small, it can be difficult to navigate. It is nicknamed the Hilltop for a reason, and you won’t spend much time walking on flat earth. If the abundance of stairs and inclines might pose a problem, I suggest following Georgetown’s self-guided tour , which includes an ADA-accessible route. 

It Matters When You Visit 

This tip might seem obvious, but I cannot emphasize it enough: check a university’s academic calendar before you schedule a tour! I made the mistake of touring Georgetown on a holiday weekend when the campus was completely deserted. Not only was I not able to access several campus buildings, but I was also unable to get a feel for the campus atmosphere and see how students spend their free time. 

georgetown university virtual tour

I know that it is easiest for high school students to visit on their breaks, so I suggest doing some research into what holidays are big at the university. For example, Georgetown has both a spring break and an Easter break, but we do not have a fall break. Most students leave during spring break, but Easter vacation is shorter and more students are likely to stay on campus and prepare for final exams. Additionally, most students take trips over the Columbus Day weekend, but we will be in town for President’s Day. 

georgetown university virtual tour

As much as you want to avoid visiting campus when students are gone, I also strongly advise against visiting on a highly-celebrated university holiday. Most notably, I suggest

that you do not visit campus during Homecoming in the fall or Georgetown Day in the spring. While visiting campus on these days might seem like a great way to see student spirit and participate in university traditions, these holidays are crowded and rowdy. Let’s be honest here: mom and dad will not be thrilled if they see students partying on rooftops or walking around with solo cups. Do them a favor and visit on an average college weekend. 

georgetown university virtual tour

Tours are a great way to learn about a school before you begin the application process. If  you want to save money, however, one option is to ditch the initial tour altogether and instead wait until the admitted students weekend, known as GAAP weekend at Georgetown, to visit. GAAP weekends are opportunities for admitted students to picture themselves on Georgetown’s campus. During GAAP, you will attend lectures, take campus and neighborhood tours, and meet members of various Georgetown student organizations. I even met my college roommate during GAAP weekend! 

If you are unable to attend an admitted students weekend,  GAAP offers several other ways to learn about Georgetown and see if it is the right fit for you. On their website , you can request a coffee chat with a student or send a student from your state questions. You can also make arrangements to visit a class or university event. 

Tours are helpful, but they are not everything; do not panic if you are unable to visit campus before you submit your application! Due to COVID-19, Georgetown is offering virtual walking tours on their website .

Your Tour Will Only Scratch the Service

Tours are great sources of information, but it is important to keep in mind that tour guides have an agenda. They love Georgetown, and they want you to love it as well. Blue & Gray is an enthusiastic organization, and each guide goes out of their way to answer your questions to the best of their abilities. That being said, tours only scratch the surface of what it is like to attend Georgetown University, and it is crucial to do your own research rather than blindly accept everything your tour guide tells you. Check out the following websites and social media pages for more information on student and academic life at Georgetown. 

  • Read the campus newspaper! Student journalists are students first, meaning that their primary agenda is to expose the truth of student life on campus. Campus journalism is a great way to learn about housing issues, local politics, and student leisure. Georgetown’s primary student publications are The Hoya (of which I am a proud alum) and The Voice . 
  • Follow tour guides and admissions ambassadors on Instagram. It is an easy way to hear of upcoming events for prospective students and connect with current students. Georgetown’s tour guide society is @blueandgray and its Admissions Ambassador Program is @georgetowngaap. 
  • Post in your class Facebook group. Each year, GAAP creates a Facebook group for the incoming class of students. While the page is officially used to post orientation information and advertise admitted students weekends, the group is a great way for students to interact. The summer before my freshman year, the class of 2020 used the group to find roommates and even compare universities before making their final decisions. You should be automatically added once you are accepted to Georgetown, but if not I, would reach out to a GAAP ambassador for assistance. 
  • Attend a performance, a sports game, or a lecture. If you know where your interests lie, then it is necessary to explore those interests before you commit to Georgetown. If you envision a fall filled with tailgates and crowded football games, for example, Georgetown is not the place for you. Even if you are not yet sure what you will want to pursue in college, attending campus events might introduce you to new activities and unlock some hidden passions. 

Compiling essays, standardized tests, and portfolios are inherently stressful components of the college application process, but visiting schools should be the fun part! It wasn’t until I visited my top choices that I felt excited, rather than scared, to leave home and start my next chapter. Tours exist to introduce you to a school’s campus and students before you make your formal decision, and the last thing a university wants to do is cause stress or confusion. 

When it comes to visiting Georgetown University, these tips are meant to make your life easier so you can stress less and enjoy your weekend away from home! Additionally, it is totally ok if you don’t fall in love with a school right away. I wasn’t crazy about Georgetown until GAAP weekend, which was months after my initial tour; and, if Georgetown is not the right school for you, these tips can help you find the school that is!

How effective are georgetown university virtual tours.

It depends how you use them. Georgetown University is a hustling, bustling campus and community. The beauty of Georgetown University virtual tours on CampusReel is that authentic video tours, made by real students, can be spectacular at capturing the Georgetown University vibe. We also go well beyond the confines of the Georgetown University campus by taking you around Washington. In traditional virtual tours, you will mostly see still, unengaging images and will not see the surrounding area at all – which is why CampusReel virtual tours are so important.

Can a Georgetown University virtual tour replace a traditional in-person visit?

If you cannot visit Georgetown University in person, then we can honestly say that we believe a CampusReel virtual tour of Georgetown University is absolutely the most effective and holistic way to understand the Georgetown University people, campus and community. However, if you do plan on visiting Georgetown University and other colleges in person, we strongly recommend that you at least prescreen your college options on CampusReel before spending the time and money to visit. Most prospective families find that as soon as the step on campus, they instantly know whether or not they like the school – but they’ve already spent all that time and money getting there! Our goal is to eliminate all the time and money visiting Georgetown University in person until you can make a strong educated guess that it’s worth the investment.

What places can I virtually tour at Georgetown University ?

For your convenience, below is a list of Georgetown University places you can virtually tour on CampusReel.

  • Southwest Quadrangle at Georgetown University
  • Copley Lawn at Georgetown University
  • Cooper Field at Georgetown University
  • Georgetown University at Georgetown University
  • Dahlgren Chapel of the Sacred Heart at Georgetown University
  • New South Building at Georgetown University
  • Georgetown University- Leavey Center at Georgetown University
  • Midnight Mug at Georgetown University
  • Regents Hall at Georgetown University
  • Edward B. Bunn S.J. Intercultural Center at Georgetown University
  • Adams Morgan at Georgetown University
  • Village C East at Georgetown University
  • Leavey Esplanade at Georgetown University
  • Yates Field House at Georgetown University
  • Berkley Center for Religion, Peace & World Affairs at Georgetown University at Georgetown University
  • Georgetown University Library at Georgetown University
  • Village A at Georgetown University
  • Healy Hall at Georgetown University
  • Healey Family Student Center at Georgetown University
  • Red Square at Georgetown University
  • ICC at Georgetown University
  • Intercultural Center (ICC) at Georgetown University
  • Leo J. O'Donovan Dining Hall at Georgetown University
  • Office of Undergraduate Admissions at Georgetown University

What are the downsides of a Georgetown University virtual tour?

The downside of virtually touring Georgetown University on CampusReel is that, admittedly, our technology does not yet mimic the exact feeling and experience of visiting Georgetown University in person. We are working on this though! A common request we also receive from users is to add more perspectives (e.g. student guides) to the platform. Rest assured we are working on adding more CampusReel guides to the Georgetown University virtual tour. However, our selection of guides still far outweighs the available perspectives of traditional virtual tour platforms.

What are the benefits of a Georgetown University virtual tour?

The most obvious benefit of a Georgetown University virtual tour on CampusReel is that is can be accessed from anywhere. This can save families a lot of time and money compared to visiting Georgetown University in person . Another often overlooked benefit of a CampusReel virtual tour is that it goes far beyond a traditional in person tour Georgetown University . Campus visits are limited both in time and scope – how are you expected to truly understand a college in a 1 hour tour? That’s why we stress the added benefit of CampusReel virtual tours – experience Georgetown University and Washington during different seasons, days of the week, and even hours of the day. What’s game day like? What is finals week life? Again, traditional virtual touring platforms don’t include this benefit.
