Dorm Life

The dorm experience i've had in Georgetown is very different from my previous ones. The past two summers i had college dorm experiences at both JHU and Yale. By far, this camp gave students the most freedom. At the camps in JHU and Yale, there were specific boundaries around campus that students could not go past or face expulsion. But at this journalism program, students can go anywhere as long as they are back by 11 pm. It is so refreshing to have the adults put so much trust into us.
Also, this is the fist university i've stayed at that offers private bathrooms for each dorm room. Now there are pros and cons to this accommodation. The pros would be having more privacy and not having to worry about snatching a shower stall before the other students. The cons would be having to clean the bathroom yourself and keeping it tidy.
I really like how Georgetown is embedded in this busy yet not messy town. Students can go shopping or eating at the some of the best places, but they don't have to worry about their safety as much as they would if they were in NYC.
If i could do it all over again, i might have chosen to not be a commuter and live on campus. But i don't know if i would want to pay $500 to live on a campus i live 10 minutes away from.
