You make your experience anywhere. While the school is expensive, there are plenty of opportunities for creating a great and unique college experience. There is a multitude of internships (not just political) available around the city, and because GW is downtown its easy to commute between class and the internship. You have to seek out the challenging courses, and as an honor program student there was no shortage. What you get out of a class is also up to you. This isn’t high school where someone tells you what you need to know, you need to have a certain amount of intellectual curiosity. At times the students can seem snobbish and act like rich brats, but again - if you look beyond the surface and get involved, you will find some great people here. GW has its problems, but I think you will find similar ones at all universities - its up to the student to decided how enriching the undergrad experience will be.
