GW Housing Programs
GW's
housing experience is second to none, contributing to overall academic success,
permitting greater opportunities for campus involvement, and offering safe and
convenient services to residents. Incoming first-year students have 12
residential living choices located on our two vibrant campuses: Foggy Bottom
and Mount Vernon.
For
the 2009-2010 academic year, the residential houses at GW allow for first-year
students the opportunity to increase out-of-classroom learning in one of eight
houses:
·
Science Village at Mount Vernon
·
Politics
and Public Policy House at Thurston
·
Media
and Public Affairs House at Somers
·
Business
and Entrepreneurship House at Crawford
·
Humanities
and Sports Studies House at Madison
·
Global
Perspectives and Diplomacy House at Potomac
·
Education
and Public Service House at Thurston
·
Culture
and Arts House at Mitchell, and Strong
·
Sustainability
and Environmental Education House at 2034

Honors
and Engineering House at Lafayette

house, click here!
Each house will consist
of several Living and Learning Cohorts (LLC) designed around a common area of
intellectual or social interest. LLCs allow first-year residents to
actively purse an experiential program throughout the academic year, one that
is designed and facilitated by you and your fellow residents with help from
your House Proctors.
GW's First-Year Housing Application is located online. To access the
application visit the Living @ GW web site and click on Freshman
Housing Selection. This application asks you: to rank your house preferences
(listed above), answer questions about your lifestyle preferences (bedtime,
study hours, cleanliness, etc.), and to indicate any roommate preferences you
may have.
As you continue to explore GW's housing options, the First-Year Housing
Application can be changed and amended an unlimited number of times until it
closes on May 29, 2009 at 5:00PM. Assignments are based on admission
standing (Early Decision, Regular Decision), interests, house preferences, and
availability.
If you have any questions regarding any aspect of the First-Year Housing
Assignment process or about the residential houses and LLCs, please visit our
