Moving off campus is a major transition that brings a great deal of
excitement and independence. The move to independent living signals a
significant milestone in an individual's progression towards an
autonomous lifestyle. Whether you are an undergraduate moving off
campus, or a new transfer student or a graduate student moving to DC
for the first time, this Guide is written with your needs in mind.
Along with the feeling of excitement and independence comes
the responsibility of living in a neighborhood community. Similar to
life in GW's residence halls, your new off-campus neighborhood will
have various community standards to which all individuals are expected
to adhere. Although this Guide will not address every aspect of
community living, it will provide you with information about several
key matters that you should take notice of as a resident of Historical
Foggy Bottom, Foxhall or other areas of the District of Columbia.
Additional information is provided regarding practices in Virginia and
Maryland.
