Life at GW
Life at GW epitomizes the intersection of a unique city environment and a smaller, more traditional college setting. Its two vibrant campuses – located less than three miles from each other in northwest Washington, D.C. – afford undergraduate students extraordinarily rich academic and social lives.
Although GW students select either the Foggy Bottom or Mount Vernon campus on which to live, their days are spent attending classes, participating in activities, and visiting friends on both. A shuttle called The Vern Express makes this possible by connecting the two campuses and creating one cohesive GW experience.
The excitement of living and learning on the GW campuses includes our neighbors and friends, and students find an unparalleled neighborhood life like nowhere else. Their surroundings afford them the flexibility to customize their campus experiences through diverse options for dining, fitness, social activities, living options, special events, and community service.
