Life on the Capitol Campus
Live and learn in the heart of DC on a campus built for collaboration and connection. Just steps from where the nation’s decisions are shaped and laws are made, the Capitol Campus is home to a growing, tight-knit community of graduate and undergraduate students.
A Home for Possibility
The Capitol Campus is built for connection and fueled by DC’s energy. Run on the National Mall, walk to your internship, and meet up with friends in one of the campus’ gathering spaces. You’ll find the support you need here along with the possibilities of a global hub.
A Testimonial
“The 55 H residence has its own kind of campus vibe. Everyone interacts a lot. People are studying in the lobby, there are multiple common areas. And there’s an event pretty much every week.”
Experience 55 H
The 55 H on-campus residence offers spacious apartment-style living along with a real sense of community forged in multiple common spaces. Choose between shared suites and single apartments with full kitchens and in-unit washer-dryers. There’s even a penthouse gym and two outdoor patios.
Eat Well, Live Well
Grab delicious and easy options on campus — from fresh Mediterranean fare to custom bento boxes — or use your flexible meal plan on GrubHub. Wander nearby, and you’ll find a buzzing dining scene with food from around the world.
A Semester Downtown
Live downtown, use the city as a classroom and build your network with an internship in the heart of the nation’s capital. The CALL program invites undergraduate students to transform their future with a semester on the Capitol Campus.
Community, Georgetown Style
Even though you’re in the middle of the city, you’ll find the type of community here that you expect at Georgetown: close, collaborative and united in the common goal of creating a more just world.
Student clubs and organizations are a vital component of what makes the Capitol Campus such a dynamic hub. Get involved with one of the many social, professional and service-oriented clubs, each of which organizes engaging speakers and other events on campus.
The campus offers several intentional spaces for gathering. From the Sky Garden at the McCourt School of Public Policy — a landscaped patio designed by notable architect Maya Lin — to the game room and courtyard of 55 H, you’ll always have a place to be in community.
The 125 E building’s 400-seat auditorium hosts guest lectures and panel discussions that bring the entire community together. Events such as wellness seminars and movie screenings play a pivotal role in fostering social connections.
