Are the voluntary service projects worth doing during orientation? I know they would be good for meeting people but I figure that will be happening all orientation week as it is.

The post service project orgy is particularly well-catered

Doing charity work is also, like, a pretty good thing to do outside of the perceived social benefits, ya know?

Plus you can hob knob with some 1L profs and start gunning for that B+.

The law student who does something without a perceived direct benefit to himself is an oxymoron

Important Q: What are your favorite bars around the GULC area?

In the city or literally next to campus

How many are literally next to campus? I'm assuming a loose definition because the only one literally next to the campus should not even have its existence acknowledged.

I'm not gonna say it's the best or anything but how the fuck does anyone have something against Billy Goat, it's perfectly fine.

anyway tcr for law school is drinking alone, pantsless, in your apartment.

I think they had bottled Yuengling and that is literally all I need

Half-priced wine at Sixth Engine on Tuesdays is also extremely credited.

Hey everyone. So my student loan disclosure statements were released recently and under school code they say "G01445." However, the FAFSA code for the Law Center seems to be G21075. Does this meant that something went wrong? I didn't even send my FAFSA to the main campus...

I mean, Kelly's is way better than BGT and like 10 more steps away from campus, so there aren't many reasons to go to BGT.

And Kelly's itself is pretty blah, so what does that tell you about BGT?

The whole area is ripe for being firebombed if you ask me, but the BGT takes the crown of being the single worst establishment there

Worse than the rehab clinic across the street from GULC? Slightly shittier drink options than BGT

Mine say the same thing(I'm an entering student also). I'm pretty sure that it is because Georgetown is the one who handles everything money wise (i.e. the student account services site). So I'm assuming it's supposed to be like that. If you find out anything differently, please let me know.

A couple more questions for the GULC veterans:

1) As far as getting books for class, should I be ordering those now? Is it advisable to rent or buy? And does it make more sense to physically go to the bookstore and get them during orientation week? Also, for some of my courses, my section schedule lists multiple possible LRW/Torts classes that I could be placed in -- when will I know exactly which class I'm in? I'm guessing during orientation?

2) RE: the GoCard, apparently we have to send in a photo of ourselves... Is this supposed to be a "portrait," like one that you would pay to have taken at a pharmacy - or can it just be any random photo/selfie that fits the given criteria (no larger than 600x600, single-colored background)?

1) I almost always get my books online. I like having fresh, un-highlighted textbooks, so sadly I shell out a good bit of money for them, but sometimes you can get deals if you look early enough. I rent e&e's and the like tho, and had good experience with amazon, but I think you can just do whatever is cheapest or more convenient.

2) I downloaded a free passport photo app on my phone and sent them a photo from that.
