Georgetown University

Georgetown University is a private research university located in Washington D.C. Founded in 1789, it is one of the oldest institutions of higher education in the United States. The university has gained attention recently due to its connection to student loan debt and mental health care funding cuts. A recent survey found that many student loan borrowers, including those who attended Georgetown University, struggle with financial burdens, making the holiday season particularly challenging. Additionally, the Trump administration's cancellation of up to $1.9 billion in funding for substance use and mental health care has been widely criticized, with advocates expressing concern about the impact on thousands of patients. The university's connection to these issues highlights its relevance as a hub for education, research, and community engagement.
