Life In D.C.

Overview

Students visit the U.S. Capitol

Participants in Live.Learn.Intern. programs have the opportunity to live, work and study in the nation's most powerful city.

Housing for all programs is provided with students placed either in the charming Capitol Hill neighborhood or on the historic Georgetown University campus.

Students take classes at Georgetown University, a traditional collegiate setting in one of Washington's most attractive and distinctive residential neighborhoods. In addition to living in D.C., students are placed in a variety of internships across the metropolitan area, all easily accessible to public transportation.

Students also have the opportunity to take advantage of the extensive amount of cost- free cultural and site- seeing activities that Washington has to offer, such as:

  • Exhibits at Smithsonian museums
  • Marine Corps concerts at the Capitol
  • 4th of July fireworks display
  • Free shows on Millennium Stage at the Kennedy Center
  • Jazz concerts in the Sculpture Garden at the Hirshhorn Museum
  • and more!

With something new and exciting always happening in the city, students are encouraged to make the most of their D.C. experience!


"My experience in DC has developed my academic interest, helped me focus on a career path, and exposed me to the inner-workings of our government that I would have never dreamed of experiencing before this program.
