Around Town

It is DC, do whatever the hell you want! It is about 6 blocks from the national mall, White House and right around the corner from DuPont Circle (where the nightlife is).

You have the whole city at your fingertips, don't be afraid to explore. Get involved in Student Orgs. Hang out with friends. Party.

Lots of things to do in DC!

In DC there is no shortage of things to do. There's always a lot going on on campus--things are usually sponsored or organized by student orgs like Frats or clubs. The University sponsors a lot of cool and interesting events like concerts and guest speakers, and students get discounted entry. Off campus, some students like to go clubbing at night.DC is a great place for students because so much is free! The public transportation system also makes it easy to get to almost any part of the city.

There is something for everyone; Greek life, music, art, and theatrical shows, clubbing (for 18+ and 21+), poetry readings and more are available just a metro ride away.

Clubs, monument walks, drugs, frats

Explore the city.

Hang out with friends, see the sights around the district, and take the metro to get around the whole metropolitan area.

If you're thinking about applying to GW, at least part of the reason is probably Washington, D.C. itself! The monuments and the White House are all within walking distance, and other great neighborhoods such as Dupont Circle and Adams Morgan are a metro ride away. For nightlife and small venue concerts, U Street is definitely the place to be.

Some individuals enjoy jogging around the parks and monuments. There are many historical buildings and places to visit that are a short distance away from campus. Others spend time in Georgetown and there is a night life scene in downtown D.C.
