Life in D.C.

Overview

A view of M Street in the historic Georgetown neighborhood

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 Millenium 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 summer experience was one of the most enjoyable and rewarding of my life. From the people I met to my internship, even class, everything was incredible, all set upon the most amazing of backdrops - Washington DC."
