Living in DC
Be a part of the nation’s capital, where policy, business and culture intersect. A truly international city, DC is home to more than 170 embassies (and yes, you might find yourself at an embassy party), plus major foodie, music and art scenes. And, of course, the internship, work and service opportunities are unrivaled.
A Tale of Two DCs
Calling Georgetown University home means experiencing both the historic charm of the Georgetown neighborhood and the energy of downtown DC, where the Capitol Campus is located. Wander down cobblestone streets or ride the Metro. Either way, all the opportunity and action of the nation’s capital are here for you.
Georgetown is a historic neighborhood nestled on the bank of the Potomac. But for all Georgetown’s tranquil charm, the scene here is lively, with boutiques, coffee shops, small music venues and galleries, and plenty of foodie delights to try.
The Capitol area and its surroundings are positively buzzing. This is a major international city, with all the diversity and fast-paced excitement you’d expect from a cultural hub for people from around the world.

Whether you’re based on the Hilltop or Capitol Campus, the city is yours to discover. Spend a day exploring — you’ll be blown away.
Real World Experiences
