Regarding Georgetown culture
Hey, I'm an incoming international this fall and am really excited to study at Georgetown.
However, I come from a middle-income country whos currency is rapidly depreciating against the dollar significantly harming my families purchasing power in dollar terms.
Simultaneously, I've heard Georgetown is where all insanely loaded people send their kids, functioning as a hub for the elite.
Hence, I was wondering whether this would diminish my social experience on basis of culture divides and affordability, since some of my friends refer to the university to have a tendency to be a bit posh and suffocating.
I would appreciate any perspectives on the same—while it is my belief that there's all walks of people everywhere and I'll find community to fit into, I may well be wrong.
Thanks again for your time!
