GWU is where we make history! In one of the most vibrant cities on the planet, Colonials get to experience life as it happens. It's not just college--it's a lifestyle.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Apply for Early Decision if you know that GWU is going to be the place for you. I applied RD, and so my housing application will be processed last. Applying ED takes a lot of the pressure off, so if GW is your dream school, make it happen right away!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The classes are small and personal, so students have a real relationship with teachers.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
It's incredibly unlikely that you'll get a single room as a freshman, but if you're okay living with a roommate in a double, the GWU residence halls are gorgeous. This is an odd observation--but they smell REALLY good!
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The dining halls are awesome and a lot of restaurants around the city take Colonial Cash, which is really convenient. Make sure you're eating your vegetables! City life never stops, so you DON'T want to be getting sick.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
It's DC! There are a million things to do within walking distance, and a billion more to find just a Metro ride away. GWU has all the best things about living in a city, mixed with all the great things about living on a college campus. There's so much to do and see, especially with the White House, the National Mall, and the Smithsonian Museums so close by.
