What Recent Grads Say See All 12 Comments >

Georgetown is a mid-size b-school that operates with the energy and reach of a large b-school and the personal connections and relationships of a smaller one. The people are amazing, everyone knows everyone else, and diversity is both welcomed and encouraged. Unlike other b-schools, Georgetown truly is a home away from home. It’s not work to be there; it’s a joy.
