“At Georgetown, transfer students comprise nearly 10% of the student body – a huge proportion compared to our peer institutions. GU transfer students benefit from having a dedicated advocacy board (the GU Transfer Council), a dedicated Living Learning Community, reserved events like Transfer Escape or Transfer NSO, and an incredibly welcoming university community that is willing to help these new students fit right in.”
