If you love being close to everything the city has to offer, but also want a more traditional college campus experience, then Mount Vernon Campus will win your heart.

“The Vern,” as it’s affectionately known, provides open green spaces and access to athletic facilities including a gym, tennis courts, soccer/lacrosse and softball fields and even an outdoor pool.

The campus is home to other amenities including Eckles Library, a black box theater and classroom and laboratory spaces.

The tight-knit community atmosphere among the six residence halls also helps residents to forge bonds that last throughout their time at GW and beyond.
