If part of the Mitchell Hall renovation is switching to full sized beds, does that mean the rooms will be bigger to accommodate or just bigger beds in small rooms? Why switch to bigger beds then? I'd rather have the storage lol

Hi! I am an incoming freshman and was wondering what the schedule looks like for move in week? I move into my dorm on Thurs 8/20. What happens that week/weekend? My parents are booking flights and I don't want me or them to miss anything.

Thanks!

How was it... I did mine yesterday and got everything but comparative politics but im hearing straight horror stories 😭

Is the psych 1000 deans seminar free? Already tried RMP nothing

Hi, I am a freshman who just completed course registration today. As it went , I got enough of the classes I wanted to take, but also I chose to take both Arabic 1002 and french 2006. I am a native French speaker and I got a 5 on AP, which is why I feel comfortable taking such a class, but I am not ‘the best’ at it. I am just wondering if anyone here took two languages simultaneously, and how that experience went for them? Do you recommend staying in both classes, or should I prioritize one over the other?

Thanks!

is it worth doing summer course at gw? counting the cost and housing

How is prof mohamad

Hello! I am just about done creating my schedule as an incoming freshman. However, the only comparative politics course that fits in my schedule is on Tuesdays at 10am on the Vern. Just wondering if this is a good choice?

I also decided to take intro to International Affairs in the spring, which I am unsure is the smartest decision, as an IA major. The main thing stopping me from taking this class is that it is only offered at 9:35.

Let me know what you think... should I take intro to IA in the fall and comparative politics in the spring? Thank you

Have about five tops that I would like to hand wash. Is it common for students at gwu to do so? Do they have big sinks in laundry room?

okay so I registered, at least tried to register, for classes today. from my plan I could register only 2 courses because others were already full in 2 seconds. I had to find suitable times again. however I still could not register for 2 courses Econ and IAfF 1005. IAFF there was only one lecture and 10 more discussion sessions. since 1 lecture was full I was not able to register for it. what should I do?? and for Econ I thought I could take 1001 without ALEKS so I did not submit the test and now I can't register. any advices?

i’m going to pray for you. it’s a bloodbath.

I need to fulfill my oral communication (CCOM) class since I am a first year student here. what are your recommendations of chill/easy classes i could take

Apps closed like a week ago and they took down the announcement and now just silence

I'm an rising sophomore and just got my financial aid package and got 2k less than what I got last year. I want to get more aid so I don't have to take out as much in loans but nothing in my families financials has really changed. Does anyone have experience asking for more aid without a good reason?

can i get to soc1001 to bisc1111 on time? First class is room B07 in Media and Public Affairs Bldg. to funger hall room 108

I am a first-year student at GW and prepping for my class registration tomorrow. I noticed that I am classified as a sophomore for registration purposes in the "Prepare for Registration" section on GWeb. It probably happened because I have 33 transfer hours, but GW normally caps it at 24. I'm not sure why/how all 33 were accepted. I am a little worried bc I'm not sure if I will be allowed to register during my designated time slot. Is this a problem, and how do I fix it?

UPDATE: I was able to register with no problems! The sophomore standing isn’t an issue unless you’re registering for a freshman only class (Dean’s Seminar). You can still be enrolled in those classes by emailing the CRN to your advisor. I hope this helps anyone in the same situation!

Yes I know the gap between the two M/W classes isn’t the greatest ever, but it gives me time for a lunch break and I can get started on my PSC1002 work so I’m happy with it.

i was just made aware of the fact that there are perquisites for the courses that i plan on applying, both of them being that i’ll need to have an ALEKS score of 61 or a relevant AP score of 3.

However i took the IB, and I ended up with a 5 in Higher Level Math (Application and Interpretation). I wonder if this would be sufficient?

It’s too late for me to take and ALEKS test

If im taking a Deans Seminar that can count for both critical thinking and oral communication. Will it count for both requirements or only one

Hi everyone! I’m an incoming transfer student at GW and I’m in a summer program that’s using GW housing. The program ends on August 1, but I can’t move into my fall dorm early, so I’ll be flying home for a couple of weeks before coming back.

I originally thought I’d be able to leave my belongings somewhere on campus, but that doesn’t seem to be an option. What do people usually do in this situation?

Are there any storage companies around GW that you’d recommend, or are there other options students typically use?

I’d really appreciate any advice or recommendations. Thanks!

Hey everyone! I’m an incoming transfer student to the Elliott School this fall, and I’d love to hear from current students or alumni.

Looking back, what do you wish you had known before starting at Elliott?

- A few things I’m curious about:
- Are there any professors or classes you highly recommend (or would avoid)?
- What resources, programs, or opportunities do you wish you had taken advantage of sooner?
- How easy is it to get involved with research, internships, study abroad, or student organizations?
- Any advice for succeeding academically or making the most of the Elliott experience?
- Is there anything you wish someone had told you before your first semester?

I’d really appreciate any tips, whether they’re about academics, networking, career opportunities, or just navigating the school in general. Thanks so much!
