    Did learn a lot

    I did learn a lot while attending GC, although I feel that sometimes I was not being pushed to my potential. The professors are great and really have a passion for what they teach. The small class sizes really helped me learn well.
    Did enjoy being here

    If a small campus and student body is for you then go for it! You get to know most of the people on campus, if that is a good or bad thing it is up to you. I felt it was a little like high school with the smaller student body.
    Bang for the buck

    It is quite an expensive school. It is definitely worth it for the professors. Otherwise concerning dorms, buildings, food etc. they are all mediocre and sometimes dangerous (concerning the threat of lead in the girls freshman dorm fall 2009).
    Tips for prospective students

    Definitely go and see the campus and talk to the students and professors. You will get a feel for the college and see if it is right for you. There are a wide array of activities, clubs, intramurals that are available, which provide great opportunities to meet people.
    Great for these types of students

    Those who are comfortable in a small environment, and can afford the high cost of a private institution. Those that wish to study abroad, there are a plethora of opportunities. From Chile, Honduras, Guatemala and even Oxford University in England.

    Did learn a lot

    The professor's at Georgetown are great. They really care for their students and are willing to help outside of class. I felt like they really wanted everyone to succeed in and out of class.
    Did enjoy being here

    For me the Georgetown was just to small, and I just wanted out. All of my friends enjoyed their time there though.
    Bang for the buck

    It is a really expensive school. I felt like I was paying way to much for what I was getting. All of the dorms are pretty much falling apart and need to be fixed but nothing was really done about it. The staff were worth all of the money though.
    Tips for prospective students

    If you plan on attending Georgetown College, I would highly recommend joining a sorority or fraternity because there is not many other clubs or activities for none greek students.
    Great for these types of students

    If you want to go to a small school where you can stand out, Georgetown is defiantly the school for you.

    Will learn a lot

    From what I researched-this college is for me.
    Will enjoy being here

    I really feel so because I liked the admission's Thanksgiving email. I'm involved in similar shows--through my school.
    Bang for the buck

    I am waiting to add them to my fafsa.
    Tips for prospective students

    I get all questions answered in a timely fashion.

    At Georgetown the teachers really do challenge you to do your very best.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love being here. I am very actively involved on campus. I think it is a great campus to be apart of!
    Bang for the buck

    Georgetown can be seen pricey. However, it is a wonderful college where you have small class sizes. Teachers who care and generally are interested in your well being!
    Tips for prospective students

    Live on campus! You going to learn sooo much for being actively involved and living in the dorms. This is where you learn to be dependent and meet wonderful friends! Stay on campus during the weekends. There are things to do, you have to get involved.

    Am learning a lot

    The general education requirements have allowed me to expand on my range of knowledge and interest and the many opportunities the school offers (study abroad, Honors and Oxford programs, etc) allow me a hands on and deep understanding of my field.
    Am enjoying being here

    Georgetown College is the extracurricular capital. There are a wide variety of clubs, groups and activities that keep me interested and entertained. The best part is that they offer great complements to the academic experience.
    Bang for the buck

    The school is pretty expensive at first but the financial aid lessens out of pocket costs and works well with students. Plus, the extra money pays off in the quality of staff and programs that are continually at your fingertips.
    Tips for prospective students

    Get all the financial aid that you can the first year because it's what is allotted to you for all four years. Also, make friends with the professors because they will be a great help!
    Great for these types of students

    Great for someone looking for a very personal experience or a variety of studying options. Also great if you need some coaching to figure out the path for you.

    Am learning a lot

    I am only in my first semester at Georgetown, but I already feel like I am learning a great deal. The teachers are very helpful, and will not hesitate to work with you until you understand something. Their doors are always open outside of class also, if you need more help.
    Am enjoying being here

    I really enjoy being here. The campus itself is beautiful, and the people are friendly and welcoming. I know over half of the students here, and even if I don't know someone, they will usually greet me with a smile. As long as you get involved with everything the school has to offer, you will have fun.
    Bang for the buck

    Georgetown College is an expensive school, but they also give you more financial aid than a public school would. And it is definitely worth it! The quality of education you are getting is priceless. The dorm rooms and food are comparable to any other school; not any better or worse. The dorms are old, but it's something you have to live with.
    Tips for prospective students

    Just visit Georgetown. Once you see the campus, you will fall in love with it. And don't just look at the price and mark it off the list. Ask about scholarships and financial aid. Talk to some people who are attending the school, and see if it would be a college that works for you.
    Great for these types of students

    Georgetown College is great for students who want to be more than a number. Your teachers will know your name, send you emails and talk to you. Students will know you as well as miss you when you skip class. You should be serious about working hard, and want to be there.

    The college has such a beautiful campus with a welcoming atmosphere. The staff truly cares about the students' individual needs and they are friendly outside of a professional environment. The educational standards are outstanding, but the living spaces are not up to par.
    Tips for prospective students

    Do not be overwhelmed about the look of the dorms. They are not that bad. Try not to go home often if you live nearby or else you'll miss out on many socializing activities. Take advantage of the many spaces that there are to study. Also, if you plan on working, ask around for jobs on campus ASAP!
    Academic Rigor

    The material is advanced and fast-paced compared to larger universities.
    Dorm Life

    The dorms can get loud, especially on the weekends, but the noise isn't so bad. Girls freshman dorm has no air conditioning, all buildings are old and need renovations.
    Food and Dining

    The food is usually good and the staff is very nice. If something you want isn't out, sometimes you can request to have it brought out. There is food for vegetarians & soy milk for those with milk allergies.
    What to do for fun

    Join something on campus! Basically, there isn't much to do on campus, but you can go to Lexington have have fun on the town! There are Greek parties every now and then, but they have to be over by a certain time.
    Bang for the buck

    For a private institution, I do think that the education is worth the money, though the price keeps rising. The money that we pay for living space is absolutely ridiculous & there ought to be different varieties of food for what is being paid for meals.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Many people like to hang out in the grille and the LRC to study and socialize. On Giddings lawn people play soccer with their friends.
    Great for these types of students

    Great for serious students looking for a great, hands-on education that appreciate small classrooms and individual attention.
    Clubs and Activities

    For such a small college, there are suprisingly many clubs and organizations and activities (especially activities). There is something to do for everyone, so there is no excuse to not be involved.
    Greek Life

    The Greeks are wonderful people. There is no discrimination and absolutely no hazing on campus. The Greeks are truly sisters and brothers and have a tight bond. Though the Greeks are great, there aren't many to choose from.
    Campus Safety

    There is a campus safety office located in the student center with someone on staff 24 hours. They are always seen patrolling campus. They are good with the text alerts to let the students know what's going on on campus.

    They are absolutely amazing. They are beyond welcoming and I have never seen a smaller, more close knit campus in my life. I wouldn't choose any other school because this one is absolutely perfect.
    Tips for prospective students

    You need to apply for as many scholarships as you can because even with the best grades, you still may come up short in tuition costs.
    Academic Rigor

    The courses here, though I haven't been in any of them yet, seem very challenging, which is great if you're considering going somewhere where the academics actually matter.
    Dorm Life

    What I've seen of the dorms, they look quite comfortable. They are not too small, but they aren't huge either. It's very cozy.
    Food and Dining

    Their food is quite great. They have a lot of options - even for vegetarians - and the only problem is that there is a limited dessert bar.
    What to do for fun

    The whole town is around Georgetown, so there is a lot to do for fun. You could go shopping, or walk around, or even go to parks and such.

    Dorm Life

    Freshman Girls dorm doesn't have air conditioner.
    Food and Dining

    Nothing really healthy,a dn it gets old fast.

    Go to Lexington...There isn't much to do in Georgetown.

    They have an excellent graduate program for educators that meets the needs of busy mothers and teachers.

    I have not stayed in the dorms so I can't say
    Food and Dining

    I have not eaten on campus, but there are several good restaurants in town and it is near to Lexington which offers many more choices.

    I was very disappointed in this school. They recruited heavily, but did little to make me want to remain there. It was not a good experience at all
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure you want to attend such a small school. It is very expensive - you should only seriously consider it if you are interested in graduate schools where a degree from a private school might help.
    Academic Rigor

    very demanding - 5 stars
    Dorm Life

    very old dorm - no air conditioning - all girl dorm which I did like
    Food and Dining

    cafe was ok but few options on comapus
    What to do for fun

    not a lot
    Bang for the buck

    This school is the 2nd most expensive in the state of Ky - it is private and very small. If a person is seeking to go to a major graduate school - I can see the advantage of an undergraduate degree there. Otherwise, a public university can be as demanding as a student wants it to be.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    there weren't a lot of activities - no comment
    Great for these types of students

    religious, introverts
    Clubs and Activities

    most of the academic areas have their own clubs; there are some sports
    Greek Life

    I did not join a soroity becasue they don't allow one to join until 2nd semester. I might have had a better experience there had I been in a sorority
    Campus Safety

    very safe

    Georgetown challenges you as a student to succeed and is a great school academically. Georgetown school is very small and could update its campus a little bit. But Georgetown College is full of friendly people and is a fun campus.
    Tips for prospective students

    Work hard and don't get lazy when it comes to your work. Georgetown is challenging, but is you try and put forth the effort you will go far.
    Academic Rigor

    Very great school for academics
    Dorm Life

    Dorm life is great as a freshmen, but as you move dorms they become more outdated.
    Food and Dining

    The food is decent, but they could use more places to eat at and not be so repetitive with their meals in the Cafe.
    What to do for fun

    I hangout with my friends for fun and attend some of the on campus parties. I also enjoy going to the Donut store that opens at 2 Am.
    Bang for the buck

    A college education is priceless
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Most students go to the donut shop at 2 Am on weekends.
    Great for these types of students

    This school is great for athletes, people who want a small college, people that want a great education, and people who want to have a good time during college!
    Clubs and Activities

    Georgetown has a lot of great intramural sport and activities, but they do not have their own pool.
    Greek Life

    They have a great greek life program, considering our school is so small.
    Campus Safety

    They have campus safety 24/7 and they are very easy to access.

    Am learning a lot

    Not only are we learning inside of the classroom but we are also learning outside of the classroom as well. And as our President pushes towards diversity we are being fully equipped with learning experiences that will help us to become well-rounded students and future pioneers.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love the small campus atmosphere and the one on one attention that I receive from my professors. This is what I wanted from a College campus and this is what I'm getting!
    Bang for the buck

    Yes, I believe it to be worth it. Georgetown wants you to have the best College experience you can possibly have and they continuously seek ways to make our campus better. Georgetown is a not so cheap school but that does not have to stop you from being a student. Three words: APPLY FOR SCHOLARSHIPS!
    Tips for prospective students

    Again, apply for scholarships, money doesn't have to be a big issue if you don't let it. I recommend that you come and visit the campus during the school year so that you can get a better feel of the campus. Also, be prepared to learn and stay focus, this is not high school, there will be times when it gets challenging whether it's from the classroom or the change from being away from home, it all comes with the new experience. Make the best of your College experience it is YOUR job!

    The courses here are really meant to expand your thought process. Some classes are definitely easier than others, but for the most part you learn a lot.
    Am enjoying being here

    Everyone here is super nice- people who you don't even know will smile and say hi, the campus is pretty, and the food isn't bad, either.
    Bang for the buck

    The professors and staff here are amazing. The food is pretty good, and the dorms are okay. However, they do have lots of good scholarships, so while it's expensive, they definitely look for ways to help you offset the cost.
    Tips for prospective students

    There are plenty of things to do, but you have to get involved or you'll end up sitting in your dorm all weekend. If you live in Knight Hall, make sure to bring several fans- sometimes it gets a little warm. Everyone will know your name- and I mean everyone- so be prepared for that...it makes for a nice, tightly knit community.
    Great for these types of students

    It's a small campus, so if you like being able to know everyone on campus, that's great. It's good for those who like to keep to themselves and for those who are involved in everything- it just depends on your ability to get out there and get connected with people.

    Am learning a lot

    As a sophomore, I have already learned more than what I learned all of K12 I feel. My mind is constantly engaged.
    Am enjoying being here

    The vast majority of the school is nice. The people are very kind and inviting. It is easy to make friends and get to know faculty and staff as well.
    Bang for the buck

    Georgetown, being a private school, is pretty expensive. But unlike some of the cheaper, bigger schools, most fees are nonexistent; everything is pretty much covered in the big payment. The professors, class sizes, food, and community are well worth the price. Also, the college works its hardest to ensure financial aid to those who need it, so that shouldn't necessarily be a deciding factor.
    Tips for prospective students

    Visit the college. At first, it wasn't my first choice. Then I visited. It's a beautiful campus and has a very nice feel to it.
    Great for these types of students

    Students who want a small class size and strong sense of community will love GC.
