Life In D.C.

Housing

Students will have the opportunity to live on Georgetown University’s campus. All students are matched with roommates of the same sex and are housed together with other TFAS participants.

All summer institute participants will have access to the many amenities of Georgetown University. Those amenities include the gymnasium, library, computer labs and free transportation to/from nearby Metrorail stations during the weekdays.

HOUSING ON CAMPUS

About the Apartments
2011 participants were housed in the Henle Village apartment complex on Georgetown University’s campus. The four to five-person apartments are furnished, internet-ready, and air-conditioned with full-size kitchen appliances and access to laundry facilities. In 2012, students will again be housed in an apartment style complex with similar amenities.

Transportation
Students living on campus have direct access to the free Georgetown University Transportation bus (GUTS). The GUTS bus operates five shuttle routes, connecting the campus to the Georgetown University Law Center on Capitol Hill, to University offices on Wisconsin Avenue, to Metro stations at Rosslyn (Virginia) and Dupont Circle (District of Columbia) and two stops in North Arlington, VA. There are also various metro bus stops near campus.

Neighborhood
Georgetown University’s campus is located on the banks of the Potomac River. The neighborhood of Georgetown pre-dates the District of Columbia and the capital city of Washington. Today, this area is known for its quaint streets, elegant homes, fine restaurants and shopping, and vibrant nightlife.

“This program puts you in the shoes of a Washington insider. Everyday you feel like a mover and shaker.”
