what up girl i am going to GW and i think its the best school in the world. i don't know why you say its not safe espec after sep 11th you cant even breath downtown DC the security is so high and its a school where there is a lot going on, bars, dance clubs, coffee shops, food, enter, DC is a college life so if you like that then youll have fun...if you like smaller places where there is no college life then dont apply to GW. I know the students are one of the happiest in the country very relaxed, friendly, administration is great, good teacher.....the only bad thing is that its expensive but thats what it is when you go to a private school...GW hospital was just build, about 500 beds, state of the art with trauma and ER ....its great subway system....if you look at the number of applic they get about 10,000 a year so there must be something if they are the top med school in the country for the number of applications.....
good luck
