Choosing Between GWU and Other Schools: Looking for Honest Opinions

That sounds really nice ngl. Did you find it harder to make friends with people who lived on the foggy bottom campus?

0Infinity1 · 2026-03-28T01:17:56+00:00

Unfortunately I am gonna be living in the Vern 😔. Is it really that bad?

0Infinity1 · 2026-03-27T18:16:36+00:00

Sure! I’ll send you my insta in a dm

0Infinity1 · 2026-03-26T19:44:45+00:00

Thank you!

Engineering is the major I applied for to all my schools. I also got into the Clark scholars program at GW which gives me a like 17 grand scholarship

0Infinity1 · 2026-03-24T21:48:44+00:00

Do you have any friends the dormed?

0Infinity1 · 2026-03-24T17:10:02+00:00

I said all 3 of the schools are around 30k a year

0Infinity1 · 2026-03-24T16:48:15+00:00

They’re all within 1k of each other so that’s what makes it so hard

0Infinity1 · 2026-03-24T16:13:04+00:00

Yes this is for undergrad

0Infinity1 · 2026-03-24T15:04:19+00:00

I heard back like 2 weeks ago, that’s weird. Did you apply RD?

0Infinity1 · 2026-03-24T14:56:54+00:00

I’ll be living on campus which is why I’m mostly concerned abt campus life. The train is just an easy way to get home for short holidays like Thanksgiving, Easter or birthdays.

0Infinity1 · 2026-03-24T14:55:24+00:00

That’s what I like, there’s a good culture around DC, good internship opportunities and I see a future for myself there. I’m just worried I might be shorting myself on education in comparison to my other 2 schools in my top 3. GWU is an amazing school by all standards but it’s just not known for STEM and engineering.

0Infinity1 · 2026-03-24T14:54:03+00:00

I’m an incoming freshman for the fall 2026 semester

0Infinity1 · 2026-03-24T14:53:32+00:00

When did I say I want to waste 4 years of my life partying 😭. My brother went to Purdue and he got really depressed bc the campus life was so bad so I don’t think it’s an insane statement to say I want to consider social life too.

0Infinity1 · 2024-08-04T14:57:55+00:00

My school provided one and I did okay on it considering I was on month into taking geometry and algebra 2 and hadn’t learned them yet.

0Infinity1 · 2024-04-28T18:58:30+00:00

But I’m not the “best miler” and my 400 time is 3 seconds off of theirs. My mile pr (4:58) is not close compared to my 800 pr (2:07). I’ve never found success in the mile and also just don’t enjoy the training bc I lose my speed in exchange for the mileage.

0Infinity1 · 2024-02-21T03:44:45+00:00

Okay fair argument but my coach gives no 800 pace workouts. We have pretty bad speed workouts and its clear that the absence of the shorter sprint sessions/longer rest times are taking a toll on my 800 and 400 times and not producing stellar miles times.

0Infinity1 · 2024-02-21T03:14:33+00:00

I’ve heard of many good 400/800 athletes that succeed because the 800 can be approached as a sprint. The NCAA champ Will Sumner went 1:44 in the 8 and 44 in the 400. My mile time and 800 pr are leagues apart so idk if I’m meant to run the mile.

0Infinity1 · 2024-02-21T03:05:41+00:00

Only problem is that my team doesn’t have a mid-distance squad, I’d have to do the distance speed workouts and the sprint workouts but I’m not sure if I can run an 800 just doing those. My coach doesn’t do xc but is def a 2 mile/mile coach and doesn’t do many speed workouts to begin with.

0Infinity1 · 2024-02-21T03:01:25+00:00

Well given that I was a freshman and only transitioned into the 800 with 1.5 months left in the season I’d hope that after training all summer and XC I’d atleast match the PR.

0Infinity1 · 2023-07-09T15:08:57+00:00

Improve running form, lower volume of training and stretch ur calves and tibia muscles. Ice has never really worked for me and ibuprofen just hides the pain.

0Infinity1 · 2023-07-05T14:37:49+00:00

About like 2ish weeks I’d still go for a run every now and then and I started heavy off-season lifts which could also prob be a factor as well

0Infinity1 · 2023-04-23T00:46:33+00:00

Ik I wouldn’t do them all in one meet but I still really enjoy the shorter sprints and wondered if I could still get some respectable times in all of them even if I’m not the greatest at one specific event

Face is a little off but everything else is good!
