Name recognition, downtown/DC location, on campus events = free food/booze, 9-5 workday.

Cons

Politics between main campus and other GU schools (Law, Medical, Foreign Service), obsolete technology and IT equipment. No priority to encourage staff/faculty to adopt best practices in approach to "business" aspect of education.

Pros

Great place for students and staff. The university is operated under Jesuit values and these values are reflected in every aspect of the campus.

Cons

Georgetown is extremely tradiotional. Systems are old and innovation is not as cherished as it would be at other universities.
