The first book I read about colleges described the dorms at George Washington as palaces. It was dead on. But, it really depends on what hall you live…
GW has consistently been ranked in the top 10 by the Princeton Review for Dorm Like Palaces Many of the top dorm names on both campuses include South Hall (Seniors…
The dorm rooms can be a little crowded but they are larger than at other colleges and the housekeeping service and available private bathrooms are a plus. Also students can…
The dorms are better than your average university dorm but they are way overpriced. GW also just added a rule for incoming freshmen- you can't live off campus until senior…
GW doesn't have a dining hall, instead we have our gworld cards that has both dining cash and colonial cash. Dining cash is used like a debit card and you can use it at food places such as Starbucks, dunkin' donuts or any other food venues around. Colonial cash is more like for laundry or printing. Don't get confused!!! colonial cash is not given to from the school they are funds you or your family put on your card. I suggest if you know you aren't a wise spender you need to become one because once you run out you run out.
Read MoreThere were a lot of dining choices in the area
Read MoreWe don't have a regular dining hall. We have freedom to eat the food around us.
Read MoreBecause there is no dining hall, food can be expensive. We can use a Gworld card at most restaurants on campus, but because of the way the university has the cards set up, restaurants inflate the prices of food to make Gworld profitable.
Read MoreAppears to have lots of options, with every CVS in DC included on the plan(heard that from a current student directly).
Read MoreThere is no actual dining hall. But the meal plan goes towards regular restaurants and grocery stores in the area so you can make what you want of it.
Read MoreThe food is really good and the service is great. The students can also use a meal card and eat at select restaurants in the area.
Read MoreJ Street is not great and gets really old really quick. Surrounding restaurants are mostly fast food-type places, and are too expensive for freshman budgets. Upperclassmen get kitchens in dorms, and can cook their own food, which isn't quite as expensive.
Read MoreI was/am a member of Chi Sigma Iota (the honors society for professional counseling). There was also a presence of Greek Life, but again as a grad student I didn't spend a lot of time on campus unless I was in class
Read MoreAbout a quarter of students are in Greek life. The sororities are very strict and don't allow hazing but the fraternities do.
Read MoreIs really big. There are dozens of sororities/fraternities to choose from, social or professional.
Read MoreGreek life is huge at GW. I, myself, am Greek. However, I am part of the Multicultural Greek Council, which is under the supervision of the Multicultural Student Services Center. As a result, we are not represented hugely on my campus, which means we are to an extent, marginalized. Within the MGC are several Greek letter organizations that are multiculturally distinct in origin, practices, and membership. My own fraternity (Phi Beta Sigma) does not have a house on campus, despite the fact that our chapter was chartered on campus. However, we try to make our presence felt as much as we can. In terms of commenting on the Caucasian frats and sororities on campus, I couldn't comment on their programs, structure, and practices much because of our lack of integration with most of them. I do, however, know that they do hold most of the townhouses devoted to Greek organizations. The way they garner membership as well is through a process known as rushing in which they host a variety of events publicly (like a large cookout) and promote their organization, while providing paper and pen for interested students. Then for several weeks, they have their prospective members engage in several activities openly to become members. Among my favorite Greek-letter organizations beside my own include Tau Kappa Epsilon, Chi Omega, Pi Detla Psi, Sigma Psi Zeta, Alpha Phi Alpha, Pi Kappa Phi, Zeta Phi Beta, Delta Sigma Theta, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Omega Psi Phi, Kappa Alpha Psi, etc. Greek life is a great way to engage in campus life, make connections, and provide services to the community.
Read MoreAverage, small houses.
Read MoreIt's there if you want it, but you don't need to be involved.
Read MoreGreek life is a big deal and everyone are in one.
