Let's be real, GW students are very unique and very unlike typical college students. We don't really have a typical college campus, but being in the center of D.C. definitely lends itself to some pretty amazing experiences that a lot of our friends from high school who go to state schools can't say they experience on a daily basis.
Here is how you know you go to GW:
1. People assume you're rich just because you go to GW
It's no secret that GW is one of the most expensive schools in the country (the total sticker price was $68,291 for this past year), but because of this, many people wrongly assume that every GW student is an heir to a multi-million dollar company and is paying for the tuition in full.
This is just simply not true. In fact, there are more than 70 percent of students on financial aid, and the average financial aid package is upwards of $36,000. Yes, there are rich kids at GW, but newsflash, there's rich kids at every school.
2. You've been to one or more Federal buildings
Perks of having all of them in your backyard.
3. You've gone to the monuments at a ridiculously late hour
You probably weren't sober either.
4. A motorcade has made you late for class
The first time it's really cool, but every time after that just gets old.
5. You get news alerts on your phone and they're probably from the NY Times or CNN
I'm guilty as charged.
6. Gay until proven straight
We aren't known as GayDoubleJew for nothing. You are either a member of the LGBT community or you know at least 20 people who are.
7. You've interned on the Hill or another Federal agency or are going to in the near future
And you've already accepted that you will never be paid for an internship.
8. You prefer to go to bars and clubs rather than frat parties
Something about a million people squeezing into a tiny townhouse just does not sound appealing even though a million people squeezing into a slightly larger place with dancing does.
9. You're shocked that this is a frat house 
An actual house is a foreign concept. It's crazy to think that parties in here do not consist of 30 people squeezing in a basement with a makeshift bar and too loud of music.
10. Everyone thinks you're a Poly Sci major
Fun fact, only five percent of GW students are political science majors. The biggest major in Columbian is psychology. Business and science and engineering actually surpass political science majors by far.
11. You understand that brunch is a way of life
There's a good chance you already have brunch planned out for the next month, all with bottomless options.
12. You've seen a prominent person in the government speak. Maybe even The President or First Lady
If you were lucky enough to see President Obama when he was interviewed by Stephen Colbert in Lisner, just know I hate you.
13. You've been to Deli and waited in line with all the other hungover college students at noon on Saturday
And you're pissed that they aren't open on Sundays.
14. Standing in line at GelBucks is just a part of your daily routine
And you also think that going 10 minutes before your class is enough time but we all know it's not.
15. 2 a.m. Carvings trips were the staple of your freshman year
And you might have even gone back as a sophomore for old times sake.
16. Family members think you go to Georgetown
Which is actually annoying because you never even applied.
17. "Do you want to walk or uber?" is a normal conversation when going out
Let's just uber.
18. People always ask you about the rivalry between the D.C. schools even though there isn't one
Besides, GW is the only true D.C. school. American and Georgetown aren't really in D.C., we don't have any beef with Howard, and no one cares about Catholic.
19. People assume you got denied from Georgetown when you never even applied
"So was GW your second choice?" No, actually I applied ED 1.
20. You've never been to a tailgate at college
First off, where would a tailgate even happen and secondly, why would there be one? We don't have a football team.
Raise high, raise hell! Loyal to GW! Go big Blue!
