Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far?
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. There was something special about being awake when few others were and experiencing a quiet peace before I got started with the rest of my day. It was absolutely beautiful, and I always feel so grateful for getting to live and learn in such a vibrant city!

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC?
I love checking out new restaurants—there are so many to choose from and plenty of them are within walking distance! Grab some friends and get out there, because you just might find your next favorite meal.

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far?
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. That night showed me the sense of community that Georgetown fosters and how meaningful it can be to connect with others beyond academics. It is still one of my favorite memories here.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC?
One of my favorite things is going with friends to Capital One Arena to watch Georgetown men’s basketball. The bus ride downtown provided by Georgetown is always fun with friends, and I like making a night of it by checking out DC’s restaurants or music spots before or after the game.

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far?
My favorite memory at Georgetown was biking down to Gravelly Point with my roommates last spring as an end to our semester. We brought some snacks and drinks and watched the planes take off from DCA! It was a going-away event for my roommate who was an exchange student from Australia. That roommate has since gone back to Australia, but I’m beyond grateful that we had that time together!

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC?
My favorite thing to do off-campus in DC is to go to shows at the Kennedy Center and grab dinner at a new restaurant. I’ve been to a couple NSO performances as well as an opera and hope to go to more!

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far?
My favorite memory was this past summer on the Hilltop. Many Hoyas spend their summers living on campus while interning or taking summer classes. It was so exciting having the chance to expand my professional experiences and networking opportunities while spending time with my friends here on campus. Summers at Georgetown are definitely underrated.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC ?
My favorite thing off-campus is trying new restaurants and rating them on Beli. Whether it’s in the Georgetown neighborhood or in the city, there’s always something to try. There are endless possibilities for trying new, amazing food!

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.

My favorite memory at Georgetown so far has been taking the GERMS EMT class! It was a great way to meet people who are also passionate about healthcare in a setting where we could learn about all the ways to help people in their time of need. Both the instructor and the students running the program made it super fun while also being very educational!

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC?
My favorite thing to do off-campus in DC is try new restaurants in the area! I love the diversity of options both in Georgetown and in the DMV. My overall favorite from the last three years, though, is definitely hot pot!

My favorite memory here at Georgetown would be Welcome Week. There were so many events and opportunities to have fun and meet so many new people and friends. My favorite event was our Karaoke Event. I love to sing, so I really enjoyed being able to sing all the songs with my friends.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC? 
My favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC is visit the museums and the Capitol. The museums here are so amazing, and each time I go, I learn something new. Walking around the Capitol and the museums is so calming and inspiring to me, and I love to do it almost every week.

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far? 
I hate to be the boring one that talks about academics, but I am a huge Germanist. My favourite memory at Georgetown so far has come from studying the rhetorical use of German Language in my “Issues and Trends” class with Professor Cunningham. Being able as a Freshman to take high-level courses such as this is something I sought Georgetown out for, and I am excited to continue my pursuit of C2 German with the help of Georgetown faculty.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC? 
I am so lucky that my boyfriend lives close by at George Washington University, and so our favorite activity together is visiting different churches in the area on Sundays. So far we have yet to find one unwelcoming. Other than that, I also love to visit bookstores. (Barnes and Noble on M Street happens to be most accessible, but I love a good local find too!)

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far? 
My favorite memory has been during the first few weeks of the year, I joined an intramural soccer team. I met a bunch of people that I never would’ve expected to be friends with and I think it’s such a college experience to go straight from a student newspaper pitch meeting to playing soccer on Wednesday nights.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC? 
My favorite thing to do off campus is go exploring with my friends. We take the GUTS buses to metro stations and go around to various places in DC. One of my friends is from D.C. and I lived here for 9 years, so I like exploring.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC? 
I promised myself that I wouldn’t get stuck in the Georgetown bubble, but I found myself guilty of not making an effort to go off campus. That’s why I joined Georgetown running. My favorite thing to do off campus is to go on runs, exploring the city, whether that’s through the zoo or nearby monuments. It helps me connect with other runners, but it also helps me process my own thoughts and deal with homesickness.

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far? 
My favorite memory at Georgetown has to be Homecoming Weekend. There’s something so special about seeing upperclassmen/alumni return to campus and getting a glimpse of what’s ahead. From GPB events and the famous Build-A-Bulldog (my favorite!) to hype music and free food, the whole weekend feels unforgettable. Spending time with friends, going to the football game, and capturing it all on digital cameras makes me appreciate that these are the moments we’ll remember forever.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC? 
My absolute favorite thing to do outside of Georgetown is go night monumenting. Whether I’m riding Lime scooters or out on a run, there’s something so surreal about actually getting to live in DC. The last time I was at the monuments, there were people dressed as the Founding Fathers, which made the whole experience such a vibe as we sang along to Hamilton.

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far? 
This past summer, I had the absolute privilege of studying abroad in Barcelona through Georgetown’s joint program with the Universitat Pompeu Fabra. About 20 other Georgetown students and I spent 6 weeks taking classes, visiting different historical and cultural sites, and traveling around Spain together. My favorite memory from this trip was biking around the countryside in southern Cataluña with our professors and sharing a traditional paella afterwards!

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC?
In my free time, I can usually be found exploring new restaurants in the DC area. During my time as a Georgetown student, I have certainly benefitted from DC’s diverse and creative food scene. Next on my to-try list is La Merna in Dupont Circle! I also love using Capital Bikeshare to bike around the city. My favorite route is biking the Potomac River Waterfront Trail from the Georgetown Waterfront to the monuments!

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far? 
Upon reflection, I believe it impossible to narrow down the countless joyous memories I have had at Georgetown to a single favorite. One recent, however, was a friend’s VilA housewarming. After most of the crowd had left, I found myself surrounded by my favorite people at Georgetown, everyone scattered wherever they could find space, all of us leaning into one another as we sang along to “Still the One.” Genuinely bliss in a moment.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC? 
My favorite off-campus activity is most definitely night monumenting. Oftentimes, I find myself trapped in the pre-professional environment Georgetown exudes, making it vital to step away from the tumultuous nature of college life and create time for activities that offer a sense of escape. For me, night monumenting accomplishes just that, as I get to spend quality time with my friends in such a serene and iconic landscape, free from thoughts of impending responsibilities.

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far? 
Getting woken up at 1 a.m. by my friend and saying “It’s snowing, get up.” We threw on whatever jackets we could find and ran to the football field, where it seemed like the entire freshman class had the same idea. We built a lopsided snowman, lost a snowball fight badly, and didn’t go back inside until almost morning.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC? 
Walking over to Dupont Circle to play chess at the stone tables in the park. Some of the regulars have been playing there for years, and most of them will beat you and then explain exactly what you did wrong. I competed in chess growing up, so it feels a little like home. Afterward I grab something to eat nearby and take the long way back through Georgetown.

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far? 
The first night here I was at the dining hall with a girl I met on Instagram and she knew a few people there which then turned into a 20 person dinner where we (illegally) pushed together a bunch of tables in upstairs Leos. While we are still early in the semester, some of the people I met at that dinner have become some of my closest friends here and I’ve made so many more special memories with them.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC? 
I love the National Portrait Gallery. I’ve been studying in their auditorium since high school and occasionally wondering in to look at the art inside. Since starting university, I’ve brought so many more people there and it’s become my Sunday afternoon go-to spot whenever I need a change of pace on campus.

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far? 
A moment that stands out to me where I felt that I had truly found my people was Rangila Crepeaway, Fall 2025. Crepeaway has to be the smallest, simplest venue any college student has ever been to, but it felt the most like home. Being packed in with everyone who had just spent weeks rehearsing and dancing on tables to music from our upbringing made me appreciate how special our Georgetown community is. A “place” is much more than four walls; it’s the people. I will be forever grateful for the community and the opportunity to stay grounded in my culture that Rangila has given me.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC? 
Honestly, it has to be a combination of trying new restaurants and finding cute, random picnic spots. I use my Beli wayyy too much, but I’m committed to the bit, and my top recs have to be Chai Pani, China Chilcano, Zaytinya, North Italia, and La Bonne Vache. Cute picnic spots would be at Georgetown Waterfront, Tidal Basin, the lawn of the Washington monument, and behind The Museum of Natural History.

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far? 
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. A student across the hall even organized a sing-along for all of us! These moments have truly made Georgetown feel like home and have made my transition from high school to college smoother and more joyful.

My favorite memory at Georgetown so far has been taking home the championship trophy for co-ed intramural basketball, not once, but TWICE. I have never felt so connected to my friends, so excited about the college experience, so proud of myself for trying something new and putting myself out there. To me, that is what college is about. It is largely about what opportunities you take advantage of outside the classroom.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC? 
My favorite off-campus activity in the Georgetown neighborhood has to be getting Gong Cha bubble tea with my friends as we take a walk down to the waterfront. This activity is even better on a crisp November afternoon, when the Georgetown autumnal foliage is at full bloom. In D.C., I absolutely adore exploring the rotating exhibits at the National Gallery of Art. Every time I go, there is always something new to see.

Before classes started, I invited my new friends from my floor to take a walking loop around campus with me. We started at the north side of campus (Darnall represent!) and made our way down to Healy Lawn, around to the Southwest Quad, and back up again. It was nice to just relax, talk, and take in the beauty of our new home.

I am so happy I met on the hilltop!

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC? 
I love to go line dancing with friends! I used to dance a lot more at home with my family, and while I have never been very good at dancing, being able to continue doing something I’d done for so long at home has been a way for my friends and I to connect and have fun outside of campus!

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?

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far? 
Last spring, after settling in from Easter break, my friends and I had the honor of seeing Yung Gravy at our Spring Concert. While not the biggest fan of his music, the experience was certainly unique, and the catered food trucks made the night even better. That, followed up soon after by Georgetown Day, made campus in April feel lively even when bogged down by finals-prep.

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC? 
DC is unique purely due to its sheer number of free events. Museums can be impulsively walked into, and festivals and farmers markets happen nearly every week/ weekend throughout the city. In March, attending the Kite Blossom Festival on the National Mall during cherry blossom season was the highlight of my year. Exploring DC’s cheap event options has always been a great option when looking for a random off-campus opportunity.

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far? 
Definitely hiking with Georgetown’s Outdoor Education! They have a wide range of hikes, from super easy to more challenging. On one of my favorite hikes, we hiked Sugarloaf Mountain. We spent the whole hike trying to solve a riddle together, so by the time we reached the top of the mountain and ate lunch, we were all pretty close. It was such a great opportunity to take a break from school, get outside, and meet new people. The views were also so beautiful!

Getting distracted while trying to get my work done in the common room. After watching a US Open match, we decided to put on an old round of Jeopardy and play together as a floor.

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far? 
It is honestly so hard to pick one favorite memory because most of mine are small, significant moments that have built up throughout my time at Georgetown: debating Aristotle and Augustine in class, staying late for Rangila dance practices, having surprise guest speakers like Dr. Fauci, working on national security research at the Library of Congress, or cooking schnitzel with my professors at German Club events. Those moments have made Georgetown so special!

Q: What is your favorite thing to do off-campus in Georgetown/DC? 
My favorite thing to do off-campus is explore DC and the DMV with friends: walking through Dumbarton Oaks Garden in the spring, doing monument runs at night, museum-hopping during the day, trying Filipino and Ethiopian food, going on Georgetown ghost tours, hiking local trails, paddle boarding on the Potomac, embassy trick-or-treating, and attending events like Profs and Pints. DC always has so many things to do!

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far? 
My favorite memory at Georgetown so far has been my study abroad experience from this past summer. I was lucky enough to join 30 of my peers in an immersive French language program in Tours, France. There, I truly felt the spirit of Georgetown among the students, professors, and institute. It was amazing to be surrounded by individuals who share the same passion for French as me, something that I wouldn’t have experienced without Georgetown.

My favorite thing to do off-campus is grab dinner with my friends and then go to the movies!

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.

Even though it was peak midterm season, everyone forgot about their work for a bit and ran outside onto Healy Lawn and the football field to throw snowballs and build snowmen.

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far?
My favorite memory at Georgetown has been attending Hoyas Men’s basketball games as a Pep Band member in Capital One Arena. Words could not describe my Hoya pride when the sound of my trombone corresponded with a Hoyas WIN! After the tip-off, all students stood on their feet, making the loudest noise that was heard in a long while. As band members, we played our fight song and many upbeat pieces. We set the vibe! With the sound of whistles, floor rubbing, cheering, and music, this became a moment deeply ingrained in my mind as an unforgettable memory.

Q: What has been your favorite memory at Georgetown so far?
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.

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.

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 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 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.

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.

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.

They motivate me through all of my big and small moments at Georgetown, and I wouldn’t trade them for the world.

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.

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.

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?

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!

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.

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.

One of my favorite memories so far was after a late night of studying in Lau.

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!

I love that just a short walk off campus there is a vibrant melting pot of cultures, packed with restaurants, cafes, and so much more. Spending late nights at Insomnia Cookies with my friends has become my favorite guilty pleasure!

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.
