Annu Subramanian, a freshman majoring in journalism, explains what lessons GW can take from Hogwarts for improving the school.
Let’s face it. GW was not my first choice for school. Actually, the place I had hoped to attend rejected me a long time ago, which is understandable considering the number of students who hoped to join its incoming class and waited eagerly for an acceptance. I, of course, am talking about Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. While I can’t attend the school of my dreams, I can, with the hubris of a first-year, suggest how the school I attend can also achieve such prestige.
I loved this article. You’ve articulated exactly what I’ve been thinking; even as a varsity athlete, I still don’t feel like I truly belong anywhere at GW. But now I’m feeling energized to try something completely different. Thanks for this!
“When I came to GW, one of the first bits of homegrown wisdom I learned was that good students at GW transfer out after their sophomore years.”
Really?!? What a bunch of baloney.
