I just visited for a day but it was really nice there. That area of DC reminded me of NY just a cleaner version haha. It was a very beautiful day, warm and sunny so a bunch of students were lounging around on benches outside. It looked like a really nice school. My tour guide was very enthusiastic and the school is big on interviews.
I also had an interview a few months after my visit with a senior at GW who was also working for the admissions office and he told me that it is
very uncommon for a student to have only completed one internship prior to graduation (most do more). He also said that a lot of professors there are adjunct so they work full(or part)-time and teach on the side so they have a lot of real-world experience in their field and are very helpful and willing to speak with students. Having a good relationship with a professor is also a great way to find internships.
I am interested in psychology, which he had minored in (I believe, he may have just taken a few psychology courses, my memory is a little fuzzy) and he said that the psychology classes he took were very intriguing.
I hope that helped! Feel free to ask more questions.
Overall, I liked the atmosphere. The experience studying there (like is the case in most unis) is really what you make of it. I've heard some complaints about noisy, party dorms etc but I think that's one of those things that is only an issue if you want it to be and really depends on circumstance.
Plus, the State Department is just a few blocks from campus which is pretty cool (The Foggy Bottom campus I mean. There is also a campus called Mount Vernon which is about a 10-minutes bus ride from Foggy Bottom and is much more suburban [the school has a free bus service between campuses]).
I also took a look at the gym/fitness facilities which are quite new and very-high quality!
