As part of our summer series, we're excited to bring you monthly episodes exploring student experiences from around the globe. This month, we dive into the heart of Washington, D.C., through the eyes of Georgetown University Qatar's Class of 2026 students who spent their fall 2024 semester studying abroad at the main campus.

Join us as Jay Pacer (International Politics), Tashafee Masoodi (International History), Farkhunda Fazelyar (Culture and Politics), and Mariaa Sorokina (International Economics) sit down to share their unforgettable tales from their exchange semester in Washington, D.C. What makes this conversation even more special is that the Class of 2026 represents a milestone, the largest cohort to participate in the exchange program, with over 50 students making the journey to D.C.

Whether you're weighing your study abroad options, preparing for your own adventure, or simply interested in a fun listen about what being a student is like in the USA, this episode offers valuable insights into what awaits you on the Georgetown main campus. From academic challenges to cultural discoveries, our guests paint a vivid picture of student life in Washington, D.C.
