Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far?
My favorite Georgetown memory is from my freshman year, when my SFS proseminar professor invited our entire class to his house for a home-cooked dinner. He wanted us to get to know one another and him beyond the classroom. We shared stories, commiserated over difficult classes, met his family, and left feeling truly bonded. The spirit of this evening carried into our discussions, making class feel more comfortable and collaborative. Even now, our professor still reaches out, and we all find time to meet for coffee or lunch—a tradition that reminds me what makes Georgetown so special.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC?
My favorite thing to do off-campus is run down to the monuments! There’s something very special about seeing all the activity at the Lincoln Memorial—it’s always inspiring and a great reminder of where I am.

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far?
I was studying with a group of friends and we collectively decided that we needed a little break. We found out that the Hoya soccer team was finishing up a match on Shaw Field, only a 5-minute walk from our study spot. We packed our things and went to join the lively student section. We cheered on the Hoyas and celebrated their victory. Spontaneously showing our school spirit was a joyful reminder that the Georgetown community is always there to lift one another up, both during our time at the Hilltop and long after.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC?
I enjoy evening walks along the Georgetown waterfront to the monuments at the National Mall. It’s a great way to chat with friends or family and get out in nature in a uniquely DC way! I love catching the silhouette of Healy Hall over the Potomac on my way back!

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far?
My favorite memory of Georgetown is the first-year seminar I took my freshman fall. Not only did I love the course material, and enjoyed the lively discussion that happened every class.

Throughout the semester together a true community was formed and I am forever grateful for that experience.

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far?
My favorite memory at Georgetown so far was the massive snowball fight on the front lawn last winter. It started as an organized event with semi-formal teams strategizing their attacks, but the structure quickly dissolved into chaos—everyone for themselves. Snowballs flew from every direction as alliances formed and crumbled within minutes. The whimsical scene of students diving, dodging, and laughing in the snow felt like pure magic.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC?
My favorite thing to do off-campus is biking the National Mall or taking the Metro to visit the Smithsonians. The Hirshhorn’s art always surprises me, the Botanic Garden’s greenhouses feel like a tropical escape during winter, and I’m endlessly fascinated by the Natural History museum.

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far? 
My favorite memory so far was a late-night trip walking (I did try a Lime Scooter for the first time, though!) to the Georgetown AMC with my friends to watch the latest horror release. After the movie, we found a pavilion with rocking swings and spent time debriefing and skipping on the cobblestone streets, our laughs prominent among the calm night. Afterwards, we found ourselves at 90 Second Pizza, —yes, they really made it in 90 seconds—splitting hot slices while walking back to campus, expressing worries and hopes for the future in the comfort of each other’s presence.

Waking up super early one Saturday morning to head to the Lincoln Memorial with my friends, watch the sunrise, and appreciate the cherry blossoms in full bloom.

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far? 
My favorite memory at Georgetown so far has been being in the student section for the soccer games on Shaw Field. The energy is electric, with everyone unified in cheering for the Hoyas. What makes it unique are the little traditions, like getting a sheet with funny facts about the opposing goalie to fuel our chants. That shared humor, combined with the massive roar of the crowd when we finally score a goal, creates an incredible sense of community and school pride. It’s hilarious, a bit absurd, and a perfect example of the school spirit that makes being here so much fun.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC? 
My favorite thing to do off-campus is just exploring DC. I love the freedom of scootering around the monuments, getting lost in a Smithsonian museum, or simply going for a walk in the neighborhoods. Each area has its own unique character, and there’s always something new to discover.

From late-night debriefs to studying at odd hours to playing card games, bonding with the people who live on my floor has absolutely been the highlight of my Georgetown experience thus far. I proudly call myself a “common room warrior,” because I have absolutely loved spending time in a space where I can meet and bond with my neighbors.

These moments have truly made Georgetown feel like home and have made my transition from high school to college smoother and more joyful.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC?

My favorite memory at Georgetown so far is definitely when my Intramural Basketball team took home the win in the intramural championship during my sophomore year.

This is more a series of memories than a single one, but my roommates and I did Harry Potter marathons throughout junior year.

We also had coloring books and tea to go along with the movies, so pretty much my version of a perfect night.

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far? 
One of my favorite memories at Georgetown was experiencing the campus during the holiday season. The university decorates with lights and hosts a Christmas tree lighting complete with caroling, which brings the whole community together. Walking across Healy Lawn at night and seeing the buildings lit up gave campus an entirely different feel. Everyone seemed happier, taking a break from the stress of finals to enjoy the season. Friends gathered for snowball fights, students stopped to listen to carols, and it felt like the kind of tradition that makes Georgetown special.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC?

Even though I’ve done everything from dining at President Biden’s favorite restaurant to visiting numerous José Andrés locations, seeing the former Prime Minister of Britain in Gaston Hall, and exploring all the Smithsonian museums, my favorite memories at Georgetown are the dinners I have with my small group of friends.

My favorite memory at Georgetown was probably my birthday freshman year. One of my friends showed up at my dorm and ominously told me to follow her. So, we walked to the gardens around the observatory. There, my friends had set up blankets and lights and music. They had even gotten chicken tikka masala pizza from Curry and Pie and my favorite kind of cake, chocolate. We had a great time just eating and hanging out, and it meant so much to me that they did all that just for me.

My favorite memory so far at Georgetown has been a beautiful sunny day in early September. My friends and I met up at Call Your Mother and bought bagels, then brought them back to Copley Lawn. We assembled a large circle of lawn chairs and just spent a few hours chatting and enjoying each other’s company (as well as our food). This memory is especially important to me because, while it was a simple affair, it was one of the first times my current friend group had spent quality time together.

My favorite memory at Georgetown so far has been going to see the cherry blossoms last spring. My friends and I walked from campus to the Washington Monument, so it was a great way to see Georgetown and the city beyond. We stopped by Southblock (açaí bowls!) on the way and then walked down the waterfront towards the tidal basin. It felt so special to take part in a classic DC tradition. Above all, it was the perfect combination of my favorite things at Georgetown: the people and the city we get to explore!

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far? 
Hands down, my favorite Georgetown memory was traveling with the Georgetown Pep Band to cheer on the men’s basketball team at the Big East Conference in New York City at Madison Square Garden last semester (Spring 2025). Although I have traveled to New York many times because it is so close and an easy Amtrak ride, I have never been inside Madison Square Garden until this trip. Even though we didn’t win the game, it was incredible to travel together and share such a unique experience with Georgetown University. I love spreading school spirit wherever I go, and as a girl from Mississippi, I would have never thought I would get the opportunity to represent my school in the Big Apple.

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far? 
My favorite Georgetown memory was homecoming a few days ago (not sure if it’s my recency bias kicking in). My roommates and I invited friends over before the festivities, and it was so much fun hanging out with them to make food and drinks, decorate our place, and plan out the day. On the day of, it was great to see all my friends around campus as we hopped around different events. Everyone we knew was around campus with high energy, creating a great atmosphere with loud music and packed events happening everywhere.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC?

My favorite memory at Georgetown so far has to be our New Student Orientation. There were a ton of fun events that first weekend to help us learn all about the Hilltop and navigate this new experience! We had orientation groups as well which helped introduce me to my first friends here at Georgetown! My favorite event that weekend was the Welcome Back Jack Barbecue where they had food, games, and giveaways. I loved having that last day before classes to spend time with friends and get ready for an awesome school year!

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far? 
Since attending Georgetown I have already enjoyed so many cool opportunities I wouldn’t have been able to enjoy otherwise—3 days into classes I got to attend a GUPolitics trip to the CNN D.C. Headquarters and met Jake Tapper, which was obviously incredible. But along with the countless incredible figureheads I’ve gotten to meet because of Georgetown’s place in our nation’s political epicenter, I have loved discovering all of the study places on campus where I can get work done while enjoying the view with my friends. My freshman dorm, Harbin, has the best outdoor patio for this.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC? 
The best weeknights with my friends are the ones with no plans, where we wander around the downtown Georgetown neighborhood and eat food at ungodly hours. Being able to go “monumenting” (a new word I’ve learned since starting here!) while eating a chicken shawarma wrap is quickly becoming routine.

For the past 2 years, I’ve had the opportunity to travel to New York City with the Georgetown Pep Band! We play and cheer on the men’s basketball team as they play at Madison Square Garden.

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far? 
My favorite Georgetown-specific memory is difficult to pin down. However, I would say it was when my friends threw me a surprise birthday party in my sophomore year. Naturally, this was a very heartfelt moment as I hadn’t expected a group of people that had just recently entered my life to put forth so much effort. Beyond that, however, I believe this event highlighted what you can find at Georgetown: a diverse cast brought together by circumstance that truly cares about each other.

During the winter holiday season of my freshman year, one of my professors invited my twelve-person seminar class to her home for dinner. It was such an enjoyable evening, filled with laughter, good food, and genuine conversation outside the classroom. I appreciated getting to know my peers in a more personal way and seeing another side of my professor, who made us all feel welcome.

My favorite memory at Georgetown so far has been going to a Hoya basketball game at Capital One Arena. I had never been to a sports game before, so I was thrilled to see everyone come together and show their Georgetown pride. During the game, I met an alum from 40 years ago who kindly explained the different fouls to me, since I knew nothing about basketball. Even though we lost, it was such a memorable experience to see the Georgetown community come together in such a positive way.

I love to explore new coffee shops in the Georgetown area and study from them! I have the longest list on my phone of new places to try.

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far?
Personally, my favorite memory at Georgetown is when I went to picnic with my friends by the Tidal Basin during cherry blossom season. The cherry blossoms were extremely pretty and fit the vibe of the Tidal Basin so well. I also got to eat some great snacks while yapping 🙂

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC?
I love to window-shop by Wisconsin Avenue. They have some of the most unique (and weirdest) things on sale, and it is honestly quite fascinating and relaxing to look at them.

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far?
I think my favorite memory so far was Georgetown day last spring. I loved starting off my day early by getting brunch with people who I’m in clubs with. I watched some of the student performances, and I got a lot of free food from GPB. I also really enjoyed seeing everyone running around in Georgetown merch. School spirit was very high on Georgetown day. I ended the day with a 90-second pizza run with my friends, which has kind of become a tradition on these kinds of days.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC?
I really enjoy walking to the National Mall. The walk along the Potomac on a sunny day is so peaceful. I also really like exploring the Smithsonian museums. It’s a little bit cliché, but I do want to check out every museum before I graduate.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC?
I’m a big Washington sports fan – Commanders, Wizards and Capitals especially, so I love watching those matches. I also think walking to the monuments is something I’ll never get over – we’re so lucky to live so close to them.

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far?
One of my favorite memories at Georgetown so far has been going to the DC Holiday Market with my friends. I loved exploring what the different vendors had to offer, picking out small gifts, and just soaking in the holiday atmosphere. After the market, we laughed and shared stories over dinner nearby. It truly captured some key things I love about Georgetown: friendship, food, and enjoying all that DC has to offer. Especially during the holiday season, when I usually feel the most homesick, it was nice knowing that I had a strong community at school to rely on.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC?
My favorite thing to do off-campus is going to museums! There are so many amazing museums in and around DC and many of them are free so they’re very accessible to students. Some of my favorites include the Hirshhorn Museum, Planet Word, and the International Spy Museum.

My favorite memory by far at Georgetown thus far has been going to see Lorde in concert with my best friends from my floor. That’s one thing I love about Georgetown: the community bonding stretches outside of campus.

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far?
My favorite memory has to be the huge campus snowball fight on Healy Lawn after the first major snow last year. Everyone came together and had a blast pelting each other with snowballs, and the laughter, chaos, and excitement made the night unforgettable. I especially loved the camaraderie of teaming up with friends and trying to sneak snow into everyone’s coats. It felt like the perfect snapshot of life on the Hilltop, where community and the “work hard, play hard” culture go hand in hand, even in the middle of winter.

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far? 
My favorite memory so far was a late-night trip walking (I did try a Lime Scooter for the first time, though!) to the Georgetown AMC with my friends to watch the latest horror release. After the movie, we found a pavilion with rocking swings and spent time debriefing and skipping on the cobblestone streets, our laughs prominent among the calm night. Afterwards, we found ourselves at 90 Second Pizza, —yes, they really made it in 90 seconds—splitting hot slices while walking back to campus, expressing worries and hopes for the future in the comfort of each other’s presence.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC?

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far? 
My favorite memory at Georgetown so far has been being in the student section for the soccer games on Shaw Field. The energy is electric, with everyone unified in cheering for the Hoyas. What makes it unique are the little traditions, like getting a sheet with funny facts about the opposing goalie to fuel our chants. That shared humor, combined with the massive roar of the crowd when we finally score a goal, creates an incredible sense of community and school pride. It’s hilarious, a bit absurd, and a perfect example of the school spirit that makes being here so much fun.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC? 
My favorite thing to do off-campus is just exploring DC. I love the freedom of scootering around the monuments, getting lost in a Smithsonian museum, or simply going for a walk in the neighborhoods. Each area has its own unique character, and there’s always something new to discover.

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far? 
My favorite memory at Georgetown so far is definitely when my Intramural Basketball team took home the win in the intramural championship during my sophomore year. I’ve found intramural sports to be a great way to get involved and spend time with my close friends throughout the week. IM Basketball has allowed me to meet new people, keep in touch with friends from my first-year at Georgetown, and take a fun break from academics. My friends and I now have a tradition of making a team every year. 

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC? 
I love exploring the National Gallery of Art and the rotating exhibits the museum has to offer! It seems like I get to see and experience something new every time I visit, which I love. I am also challenging myself to visit every museum in D.C. before I graduate, so I hope to see even more this year!

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far? 
Even though I’ve done everything from dining at President Biden’s favorite restaurant to visiting numerous José Andrés locations, seeing the former Prime Minister of Britain in Gaston Hall, and exploring all the Smithsonian museums, my favorite memories at Georgetown are the dinners I have with my small group of friends. Coming to Georgetown and meeting people who genuinely reflect who you are and care about you has been the most rewarding experience I’ve had. They motivate me through all of my big and small moments at Georgetown, and I wouldn’t trade them for the world. 

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC? 
My favorite thing to do off-campus in DC is try out all of the restaurants that are in the city! Coming from Iowa, there are so many more restaurants and places to explore, and I love to drag my friends into the city.

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far? 
My favorite memory so far at Georgetown has been a beautiful sunny day in early September. My friends and I met up at Call Your Mother and bought bagels, then brought them back to Copley Lawn. We assembled a large circle of lawn chairs and just spent a few hours chatting and enjoying each other’s company (as well as our food). This memory is especially important to me because, while it was a simple affair, it was one of the first times my current friend group had spent quality time together. 

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC? 
My favorite thing to do off-campus is exploring all of the bookstores that D.C. has to offer! D.C. has so many incredible bookstores, so my friend and I have a goal of visiting every one in the D.C. metro area.

Having a picnic on Healy Lawn with my friends last fall! We walked to Trader Joe’s beforehand for fruit and snacks, then spread out a blanket and enjoyed the beautiful weather and fall colors. It was a small, ordinary moment, but it still makes me smile.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC?

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far? 
Hands down, my favorite Georgetown memory was traveling with the Georgetown Pep Band to cheer on the men’s basketball team at the Big East Conference in New York City at Madison Square Garden last semester (Spring 2025). Although I have traveled to New York many times because it is so close and an easy Amtrak ride, I have never been inside Madison Square Garden until this trip. Even though we didn’t win the game, it was incredible to travel together and share such a unique experience with Georgetown University. I love spreading school spirit wherever I go, and as a girl from Mississippi, I would have never thought I would get the opportunity to represent my school in the Big Apple.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC? 
I love going to Capital One Arena, whether it is for Georgetown men’s basketball games, concerts like the Jonas Brothers, or the annual Jingle Ball. There is always something going on in DC, and it is incredible how many concerts, events, and experiences pop up and are simply at your fingertips.

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far? 
Since attending Georgetown I have already enjoyed so many cool opportunities I wouldn’t have been able to enjoy otherwise—3 days into classes I got to attend a GUPolitics trip to the CNN D.C. Headquarters and met Jake Tapper, which was obviously incredible. But along with the countless incredible figureheads I’ve gotten to meet because of Georgetown’s place in our nation’s political epicenter, I have loved discovering all of the study places on campus where I can get work done while enjoying the view with my friends. My freshman dorm, Harbin, has the best outdoor patio for this.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC? 
The best weeknights with my friends are the ones with no plans, where we wander around the downtown Georgetown neighborhood and eat food at ungodly hours. Being able to go “monumenting” (a new word I’ve learned since starting here!) while eating a chicken shawarma wrap is quickly becoming routine.

My favorite memory has probably been doing Rangila with my roommate junior year.

My current favorite Georgetown memory is from the very first week of school when my friends and I hosted a late night yap session where we all attempted to explain our entire lives to each other in a chaotic elevator pitch sort of way.

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far?
My favorite Georgetown memories have to be late-night classroom takeovers–whether it’s to lock in, watch a movie, or play music while we yap with each other. We’ll also take breaks from the classroom to go to Chipotle (I’m obsessed with it) and walk around campus when it’s dark out. These moments have become my favorite memories because of the people I get to spend them with. On campus, it’s the people that make the place, and I’m so excited to be surrounded by some of my favorite people and spend the rest of my college experience with them!

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC?
My best friends and I have a semesterly tradition of going kayaking down the Potomac river! It’s a lot of fun and it can be a nice getaway from campus. I also love a sweet treat–I always make time for an off-campus boba!

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far?
I cherish my many diverse memories on the front lawn: chatting with friends, listening to music, and bathing in the sunlight. Whether eating food from the Farmer’s Market, taking a study break on a blanket, running into and catching up with an old classmate, watching a student band perform, or participating in a high-stakes, late-night, school-wide snowball fight, the front lawn has been a nexus of activity in my time at Georgetown. The lawn is an apt metaphor for Georgetown as a whole—it is anything you make of it.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC?

My favorite memory at Georgetown so far has been eating Thanksgiving dinner at Leo’s! The atmosphere is very lively and fun, with the greatest hits playing over the speakers and the hum of conversation everywhere. It is a good time to catch up with friends and share a hearty meal before everyone leaves for fall break. My favorite dishes have to be the mac and cheese and the mashed potatoes. The buttered rolls are also a must!

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far?
One of my favorite experiences so far has been grabbing coffee early in the morning and sitting on Healy Lawn before class. It’s not super special or eventful, but watching students cross the lawn and seeing campus wake up around me made it feel real. It was the first time I paused and thought, “I actually get to live and learn here.” I think that those experiences really made Georgetown feel less like a school and more like a home I get to call my own.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC?
I like to visit the Library of Congress to check out its exhibits or get work done in a more calm setting. It makes ordinary assignments more unique and interesting when you’re surrounded by so much history. And it’s always a good excuse to explore the Hill 🙂

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far? 
One of my favorite memories so far was after a late night of studying in Lau. I got back to Harbin patio around 1 a.m. and saw a group of friends sitting on the grass while someone played guitar and everyone sang old nostalgic songs. I asked if I could join, and they immediately welcomed me in. We ordered 90 Second Pizza (it hit the spot) and ended up hanging out and talking late into the night. It was such a simple but unforgettable moment, and a real testament to the dorm community Georgetown offers!
