Foggy Bottom Campus


Foggy Bottom Campus combines the academic and residential amenities of a top notch university with the excitement and convenience of living in the heart of the city. From lecture halls to high tech labs, and small group meeting rooms to open study spaces, you’ll find a wide range of learning environments to fit your needs and aspirations.

You’ll also enjoy the culinary benefits of city life with a variety of dining and grocery partners on and near campus. Explore the world through your tastebuds with restaurant offerings from different ethnic traditions or go on a food excursion to check out restaurants in D.C.’s vibrant neighborhoods.

Walk to a variety of museums, parks and attractions or hop on the Metro, a bus or bike share for adventures all over the city. And your city experiences don’t need to be confined to daylight hours, as many students enjoy “midnight monumenting” after the tourists have turned in for the night.
