Senior Matt Ingoglia, a Hatchet columnist, urges GW students to remember that they shouldn’t miss out on the opportunities happening on campus.

Escape the GW bubble! Go explore D.C.! Take advantage of your location!

Every GW student, from the timid freshman to the jaded senior, has heard this advice during his or her collegiate years. Whether the recommendation came from a house proctor, a Colonial Cabinet member or a columnist on this very page, we’ve all been advised to escape the bounds of our familiar campus and immerse ourselves in the dynamic city around us.

While these words are always spoken with the best intentions, I’m here to tell you – take them with a grain of salt.
