Around Town

Go to the gym, join every single club, plan your future, blow of steam from another intensely productive (and probably stressful) week by getting ruinously drunk. This is sort of joking stereotype and sort of true. Its a big school, and obviously not everybody is like this, but there is a pervasive culture of overachieving that keeps people working hard and making good decisions. Along these lines there is almost no drug culture. Work hard play hard is the order of the day, and students really do spend their weekends drinking hard. Really hard.

The university itself does its best to provide students with fun activities to do on campus and among other hoyas, which facilitates community building and improves the quality of life students experience on campus. That being said, Georgetown the neighborhood has a series of fun (and somewhat pricey) bars, restaurants and a couple of infamous dive-ins such as Rhino bar or Thirds Edition. The Tombs, rated number one college bar in Washington D.C. is a favorite junior and senior hang-out spot. Should students brave breaking the bubble and experiencing the rest of DC (think Dupont, U st, Adams Morgan, Eastern Market, etc) there are many small eateries and fun cultural enclaves to explore.

D.C. is such a great and lively city. There is tons to do for fun.. if you don't mind making the hike off campus to get to the events.

There are a lot of things to do in Georgetown and Washington DC and many opportunities to explore your hobbies and interests.

There's a lot to do on campus, which usually creates a Georgetown bubble since students don't usually have to leave the area for entertainment. There are a lot of parties, club activities, on-campus movies, discussions, lectures, and so much more on campus that meet a wide range of interests. Of course, though, DC has many activities, like museum explorations, Kennedy Center performances, and monument visits, that are fun, too. So really, it's hard to be bored.

Explore the city and go to events on campus.

DC offers a great night life and bar scene if you are willing to break the bubble and get off campus.

Go to M St.

Spend time exploring our nations capitol.

DC has definitely a lot to offer. There are a ton of museums to explore and tour sites to go and visit. You can also go kayaking on Potomac River right off the campus. During the spring, we have a cherry blossom festival, which is just gorgeous. Every other week, I personally enjoy exploring farmers market around Georgetown area.
