"From classes I would not have taken otherwise to professors who have helped me discover what I want to do once I graduate, the MSB has shaped how I approach problems, opportunities and my role within the broader business world.

Sarah Brannigan (B’28) explains all the reasons why she chose Georgetown to study business, from professors, professional development and experiential learning opportunities.

"When I reflect on my college search and decision process from two years ago, I think about all of the factors I weighed: academics, access to internships, a sense of community, clubs. When I considered location, it was mostly in the narrow sense of distance from home. I’m from New York, and two of my top three choices that I was deciding between were in the Midwest. At the time, I was mostly concerned about if this distance would be manageable. Still, I didn’t think location was a big deal. After all, wouldn’t most of my time be spent on campus anyway?

However, after three semesters at Georgetown, I’ve come to appreciate living in DC and not living in a “traditional” college town. I’ve even decided to stay here for a few years post-grad, which is a pivot coming from the guy who thought he’d live in Boston in his 20s before heading back home. Here are a few reasons why."

Justin Higgins (C’28), originally from Albany, New York, is a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences and a Georgetown Storyteller studying government with a minor in journalism.

When Justin Higgins (C'28) applied to college, he didn't think much about location. Now as a sophomore, he explains why he loves living and studying in Washington, DC.

“I think there’s a lot you can learn not just about other faiths, but also about your own faith and the value of faith to you by interacting with people from other religions and learning about other religions.

The oldest Catholic and Jesuit university in the United States, Georgetown provides Catholic community members plenty of opportunities to engage with Ignatian spirituality and Catholic traditions through services, retreats, dialogues, immersion programs and more.

But with the largest and most diverse Campus Ministry in the United States, Georgetown is committed to serving students of all religious and non-religious backgrounds in their intellectual and spiritual formation and deepening interreligious dialogue and understanding.

Students of all religious and non-religious backgrounds can explore spiritual life at Georgetown. These students found their faith deepened through community connections, academic study and encounters with other faith traditions.

"When I think about my senior year of high school, two images come to mind. Walking home from school, completely consumed by the college application cycle. How can I forget sitting in the local park with my best friend decorating our graduation caps. Together, they represent the unnecessary pressure I put on myself in an otherwise marvelous year. As I am about to graduate, I am trying my best to not stumble in the same potholes and to embrace the wonders that the final year of school brings."
