College Prowler Quotes

Read Hundreds of Quotes from George Washington University Students

Read samples from the George Washington University guide below:

Academics

“Although not as personal as in high school, teachers are genuinely interested in helping students understand subject material.”

Diversity

“While the campus is very ethnically diverse, for the most part I’ve found that there isn’t much interaction between ethnic groups in a social sense.”

Guys & Girls

“There are some hot girls, and then there are some not-so-hot girls. As for the guys, since I am a representative of GW, and I will base my opinion on myself; the guys are extremely hot.”

Athletics

“GW is not a big sports school. The gym is usually more packed than the basketball games. Intramural sports are not so popular either. We do have several professional sports teams to watch, as well. Going to see the Wizards or Capitals is always fun.”

Academics

Although introductory lecture classes are often dull and cover basic topics, most students say they benefit from their upper-level classes. GW requires freshmen to take a significant number of General Curriculum Requirements (GCRs), so history majors may have to suffer through “Baby Bio,” and pre-med students may be forced to plow through art history. But a talented professor can make any class interesting. Most intro classes are taught by a professor twice a week, lecture-style. Then a teaching assistant...

Washington, in general, attracts a diverse population. But while GW is a somewhat diverse campus, individual ethnic groups tend to stick together. Asian, black, Jewish, Arab, and Muslim students host cultural events to which the entire GW community is invited. However, the majority of attendees are usually...

Guys & Girls

The best word to use when describing guys and girls at GW is “average.” You’ll find very good-looking guys and girls and less attractive individuals, but most students fall in the middle of the spectrum. You have to pick your way through the self-absorbed guys and stuck-up girls, but many GW students are worthy of your friendship. There are a lot of stuck-up people on campus; however, it depends on your attitude. If you take the time to get to know people, most are nice. And those who are more into their...

Athletics

GW is not a sports enthusiast’s dream come true. There is not much school spirit at GW, perhaps because the University has no football team; its main sport is men’s basketball. The games can get packed during the season, and definitely during the finals, but a lot of students are apathetic about other teams, including the very talented women’s basketball team. Most non-varsity athletes do not attend games other than men’s basketball, if that. Intramural sports are popular and pretty casual. Club teams are...
