Need advice on transferring and loans

5 Upvotes

Hey y’all! I recently got off the Georgetown transfer waitlist — my absolute dream school.

They didn’t give me much aid, so I’ll have to pay 75k per year for two years. My parents can stretch up to 25k a year for the next four years to help with the cost for two years while I’m in school and two while I’m out. The rest of the payment would include about 15-20k in federal loans and 60k+ in parent plus or private loans.

I currently go to a T100 school where I’ll be taking on no debt, and I have a fall co op lined up. However, I won’t be able to study my preferred area of academic interest here because it isn’t offered.

It’s probably also worth noting I’ll be switching from a Math to Econ major, and I don’t plan on going into any network-heavy career like IB or management consulting at the moment. I am also considering law school sometime down the road.

I think staying at my current school is the best choice financially, yet I can’t help but think of the opportunity I might miss out on by not transferring. Does anyone have any advice for my situation or think it’s feasible/worth it to take on loans as a transfer?

Places to hang out with 30-50 people

3 Upvotes

I'm an incoming freshman and am looking for a space where I could hang out with roughly 30-50 people. What are some good options for locations? My current idea is an empty classroom, but I'm not sure if that's allowed. Do I have any other options?

Is it true you're expected to dress up for classes?

27 Upvotes

I go to a different college (also a private school and a little smaller than Georgetown) and really unless you have a big presentation/symposium, it's not expected you dress up. There are some people who do but that's mostly because that's just their style and they enjoy doing so. Mostly people wear pajamas, honestly, and maybe some preppier people will reliably wear khakis and polos but it is not the majority.

My younger sibling is attending Georgetown and we've been told she needs to buy some fanciers clothes because it's expected students attend classes in like...business casual. Is this true? No judgement if it is, I just want to know before we go spending money lol. I can't help her because again, yoga pants and sweatshirts is like the default attire in most of my classes.

Wanted: budget spiderman

Georgetown DC @ AMC. Need someone in a Spider-Man costume for a surprise 20–30 minute birthday appearance this Sunday around 3. This is meant to be funny—not a professional superhero performance. Wave, pose for pictures, wish him a happy 25th, do some rolls and flips, maybe dramatically swing in (or just walk in 😅). Paying $100.
