The USDA graduate school is a great resource for our city. If you flip through one of their course catalogs there are a lot of odd and interesting classes on offer which draw instructors from all walks of life around the city. If getting to the Dept. of Agriculture is easy for you (and it's not for me) then you should definitely take advantage of this school. Since it only meets at most several times per week and the class sizes tend to be large, it is not the best place to really learn a language well - but it does give quite a nice overview of topics and it's fun to meet people with similar interests.

This school is great for working moms looking for convenient classes. I can take classes online when I have time. Or I can go to one of their campuses in DC or Maryland. I am going for an online MBA degree. The instructors are inspiring so far.

I am doing my Masters in Computer Science here. Not being Catholic, I was a little scared to go here. People always ask me when I tell them I go here, whether they try to convert you. No, they don't. The weirdest thing I find is there is a cross in every class room. Having gone to public school my entire life, I've never come across anything like that.
The Masters classes are pretty diverse. Looking around at the undergraduate classes, I can say they are not. I would say you will only find 1-5 minorities in each class. The library is good, there only is one. The computer labs are well kept and the printing is free. The IT helpdesk for the entire school is also helpful. The tuition is expensive though and the safety is always a concern for me. They have a security guard near the Metro station, which is walking distance from the campus (plus). You can always find free parking near the library, there are meters but no one pays.
They have a very good law school as well. They also have good professors.

The Kaplan Test Center provides a very high quality, well organized program. Any student looking to up their LSAT score should definitely consider this course.
One LSAT Center owner informed me that most of the courses will up your score in a range of 5-7 points. In my case, Kaplan out did that.
Pros: Kaplan is a nationally recognized program that is renowned for their test preparation materials for many different subject areas
Instructors who have taken the exam and scored at or above a given level
A dedicated test center with past exams and quiet rooms to use at your disposal
Well located, many course slots.
Cons: Very expensive- over $1000 for the classroom course. Private tutoring sessions up this significantly
Class groupings are not divided by score level. This basically means if you are excelling, the lower performers in the class may very well hinder your experience
Puts a great deal of emphasis on the homework

I had to average the school and the administration...
The School: The professors are fantastic, and very tied into Washington politics, a plus for any Poli Sci major. The students, though you are bound to find a few bad seeds, are generally engaging and well involved in the workings of the city- from internships on the Hill, to waiters at local eateries. The dorms are great (but over priced), the off-campus accomadations are also fantastic
The admin.: Here it is you will occasionally find a good seed. One story suggests the Unviersity President said, "GW is a business with a mix of real estate, athletics, theater and publications with some academics mixed in".... and you better believe that all the red tape and the price of the university makes you believe it.
I love the school and the people, but the school's adminsitration can drive someone crazy

First Class offers low cost instructor lead classes on career, finance, arts and inspirational type topics. These are informative type courses which you would not find in your standard community college or learning center. They allow people who have a skill to teach that skill to interested people.
For example I took the The $100,000-a-Year Infopreneur class. It was taught by a knowledgeable person who started off with a "How to get a credit card processing account" years ago before even mail order became big. His class had good information with both how-tos and real life examples.
