    GW is undoubtedly very expensive. On campus dining is very overpriced, and surrounding options are expensive because of GW's Foggy Bottom location. However, GW has a lot of money and puts a lot of it back into the school! Buildings are, overall, nice and in good shape. The campus is well kept, and there are always new buildings under construction. Despite its high price tag, students get to see a lot of the money that goes into the school.

    This is a very very very expensive school. You get a good education but it isn't worth it to take on tens of thousands in loans to come here.
