There's No Place Like Georgetown: The Horror and Humor of Undergraduate Life

November 12, 2024 • Viggy Parr Hampton • Season 6 • Episode 7

It’s no secret that the main character of my newest novel, Much Too Vulgar, is a Georgetown undergraduate. I love the dark academic feel of a story set at a university--and in this case, the university in question has a LOT of lore, both historical and contemporary. Join me and my wonderful college roommates, Sarah and Laura, as we unpack some of the most interesting, terrifying, and hilarious aspects of learning and living at Georgetown.
