Around Town

Join some clubs or activities. Go explore downtown or Georgetown!

Check out the city! The location of AU is perfect. We're in a residential area so we aren't bogged down by the city. But, the city is only a metro ride away so see a musical performance or some sporting events! Bring your ID too, student discounts are great.

Explore the city, eat different foods, and meet new people! You have the monuments at your fingertips and great internship opportunities at the Embassies.

Most people prefer going into the city to the Mall, Georgetown, Adams Morgan or any of the numerous neighborhoods. Bars, hookah lounges, bookstores, museums, etc., are key to fun in DC. For those looking to stay on campus, clubs are the way to go as well as visiting the nearby town called Tenleytown.

Hang out at the apartment complexes down the street, relax on the Quad, hop the Metro to explore all that DC has to offer you.

There's almost always plenty to do from events on campus to parties and clubs at neighboring schools and in DC.

For those students over 21, the nightlife of D.C. has much to offer - there are a lot of great bars and clubs all over the city that are frequented by students from Georgetown, GW, Catholic, and AU. For those under 21, the monuments, shopping, and just wandering the city will provide most entertainment. In regards to the party scene, unless you have a fake, you'll only be drinking at frat parties or house parties. But many of the clubs in the city have under 21 nights on Fridays that provide another option.

Explore DC! It's an amazing, vibrant city.

go out and enjoy DC, there is always something happening. even if you stay on campus, there is lots to do.

You are in DC!! Go to the capitol, have a picnic on the National Mall, take pictures in front of the White House, get a library card at the Library of Congress (cool place to study for finals), go shopping in Bethesda or Georgetown. We are located really close to a metro and you can access anywhere within a few stops. DC United and Nationals games often have college nights where you can get cheap tickets and have lots of fun. Of course, our campus also hosts lots of events, and international events, like Holi, and Indian tradition where students dance to blaring music on the quad and through paint at each other for 2 hours. If we do something, we go all out.
