Good reviews
Overall 4.7
If you're looking for a small size class, this school is a good choice. All the professors I know are amazing. There's not much to do around but it's close to Lexington and you can make the best of it.
Overall 4.5
Don't listen to the two people who said this school is not amazing, it's likely a result of their own jaded perception. Georgetown college opened their arms to me and from the moment I stepped on campus I felt like family. The town is quaint and the people are amazing. The professors genuinely want you to do well & help you get there. Tiger 4 life

I feel at home at Georgetown because the small-knit environment allows for not only close relationships with friends, but also with professors and faculty.

I love Georgetown. The people are great especially if you are in athletics. The food has gotten better than last year. The dorms aren't all gross, I live in a townhouse with my friends and I love it. Professors are always willing to help. Ive only have one "iffy" professor. I transferred here and I just love the friendships

No matter what you think, you are getting an excellent foundation at G'town. Grad schools love G'town grads (I have learned from experience!)
Bad reviews
Overall 1.1
As a junior if I had the chance to do it over again, I would go to a more reputable college Georgetown claims to be in the same league as: Hanover, Centre, Bellarmine. This is a failing college losing majors, funding, and alumni support. Furthermore, this is a very unprofessional environment, as well as an embarrassingly dirty one, espec. in dorms.

I sincerely regret ever going here. My experience at georgetown is one of the worst in my life. The classes and professors are terrible. There is very little opportunity for academic growth. Georgetown college is basically high school with cliques, drama, and everything.
Overall 1.5
Georgetown College has proven time and time again that the administration does not care about the students. The food--both in quality and in options--is dreadful. The buildings--dorms in specific--are repulsive. Mold makes its way into both living quarters and cafeteria food. If the word count were longer, I could detail more.
Overall 1.6
If I had it to do over I wouldve never went to Georgetown. My adviser consistently told me I wouldnt be able to achieve my goals and might be able to be a CNA at best. Ill graduate nursing school soon and then start my BSN program. If you attend this school dont let the professors that couldnt fulfill their dreams get you down.
Overall 1.6
DO NOT GO TO GEORGETOWN COLLEGE. The professors are all rude, unprofessional and very LiBeRaL. If you don't join a sorority or frat you will be shunned, have no social life and be forgotten. The dorms are disgusting. (mold everywhere and people having sex in the hallways) Even their christian programs like TNS are very unwelcoming. Unsafe. Failing.

professors are generally alright. boring socially minus greek life. Town is boring, and have to go to Lexington for everything
