One question here for the nominator, Ergo Sum. Is Georgetown a University or a college? the hook says university while the article says college.

Otherwise it's good to go. Vincent^LUFan (talk) (Kenton!) 09:32, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

@Vincent60030: Georgetown University is a university. However, when it was founded, it was only Georgetown College, which is today one component of the university. There's no clear line on when it switched from college to university, but earlier sources definitely refer to it as Georgetown College even after the institution was composed of more than just the college.
