Hi, my name is Maddie Breslin and I am a senior in the College majoring in American Studies. I'm from Horsham, which is about half an hour north of Philadelphia, located in Montgomery County. Georgetown University is an amazing place to live and learn. We are lucky to live on a beautiful, collegiate campus right near the heart of Georgetown that is also easily accessible to downtown DC, with its museums, cultural opportunities, government offices, etc. The size of the University's student body is ideal, too; it's not overwhelmingly large, but there are always new, interesting people to meet. It allows for students to develop relationships with professors and to really feel at home during the four years here. There are numerous clubs, organizations, and community service opportunities available to students, as well as many cultural, social, and sporting events to attend. For instance, I tutor children at the Sursum Corda community in DC, as well as sing in the GU Chapel Choir. With so many great ways to get involved at Georgetown, it is easy to meet people, have fun, and to pursue your interests, academic and otherwise. Nonetheless, I know how difficult the decision of where to go to college can be. When I was in your position, nothing was more helpful to me than talking with current students. So, if you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me. Hoya Saxa!

Hi! My name is Brianna Gavio. I grew up in Mountain Top, Pennsylvania (near Scranton) and I am currently a sophomore in the MSB, majoring in Accounting and something else (to be determined). There are so many reasons why I love being a Hoya! Firstly, there are clubs and groups to suit an array of hobbies and interests. I am a Jumpstart volunteer, a program in which college students tutor one preschooler from a low income area on a one-to-one level for an entire year in order to better prepare them for kindergarten; Jumpstart is by far the most rewarding activity I have been involved with at Georgetown thus far. Another wonderful perk Georgetown offers is its perfect location. Unlike many other big-city schools, Georgetown has the feel of a private, secluded campus (excepting the airplanes overhead). There are plenty of grassy lawns and trees, and few vehicles on campus. But a few short blocks away lays M Street, an amazing shopping area and one of the busiest streets in DC. The monuments are also very close - a beautiful 20 minute walk (or about a 1.5 mile run) along the waterfront to the Lincoln Memorial. Our situation in DC also makes Georgetown a part of our nation's past and present. Twelve presidents have spoken from the steps of the Old North building, and the Declaration of Independence was hidden in the Old South building during the War of 1812. Today, many amazing speakers to campus - First Lady Laura Bush, President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan, and former Secretary of State Madeline Albright (who is also a professor at Georgetown), to name a few, have all spoken since I've been here. Perhaps most importantly, Georgetown is culturally diverse, from the faculty down to the student body. I have learned so much from others who have different experiences and backgrounds, while still being able to connect and bond with them from my past experiences from growing up in Pennsylvania. I hope to hear from you soon! I will do my best to answer any questions you may have. Hoya Saxa!
