Visiting Campus
We have been welcoming campus visitors for nearly 190 years. Prospective undergraduate and graduate students, families, faculty and professionals who are exploring career opportunities, those seeking treatment in our Medical Center and attendees at seminars, conferences and other events all find a warm welcome at GW.
Washington, D.C., is an accessible travel destination and easy to get around in. An array of affordable lodging is located within walking distance of the University. There is a multitude of dining options, both on and off campus.
The city of Washington, with its cultural venues, historical sites and vibrant social life, is a magnet for visitors from around the world. The University is an integral part of the District of Columbia and no visit to GW is complete without sampling the offerings of its city.
We invite you to explore our campuses and experience first-hand the vibrancy and significance of our location and campus environment.
The George Washington University welcomes visitors with disabilities. Please contact Disability Support Services for information about accessing programs, services, and facilities on-campus.
