SM: Are the university’s athletic events popular?
Leah: Basketball events are really well-attended. We don’t have a football team, but our student body is very, very supportive of our basketball team. Last year we made it to the playoffs and that was really cool. We had to play Duke and got slaughtered. That was really sad.

SM: Any advice for students considering applying to GW?
Leah: I think that there’s a certain kind of person that goes to GW. If you are active and energetic and really interested in politics, journalism or international affairs you would do very, very well here. I love this university and…I would not transfer for anything. I wholeheartedly encourage anyone who’s interested in politics to apply because this university will give you an incredible experience that you cannot get anywhere else.
