Coming to Georgetown, Qatar, is instead a start of an exciting journey. Some might say that digital learning takes away the spirit of Georgetown, whereas some say they continue to feel connected to the community. 

Personally, Georgetown started for me online, and as a second-year student, I have roughly spent ten weeks at most in-person. It is disheartening, but Georgetown does its best to provide everyone with a similar experience. Whether it is through the induction week where we get to learn about the campus, professors, grading, etc. The numerous workshops during the induction week start giving you the “Georgetown vibe” and get you further excited.

This is continued by the First-Year Experience program, commonly known as FYE. These events occur every week, and you are put into a group with two upper-level students. The events always provide snacks, food, and most importantly tips and tricks that most definitely help you for the coming years. You can text them, email them and talk to them whenever you need to ask anything or talk. Similarly, professors can be easily reached out to via their email ids. If there are other academic-related curiosities, you could ask the librarian or set up a meeting with the peer tutor.
