During my first year at the George Washington University, I have learnt that you will find a lot of variety and different cultural backgrounds. It's location is one of the biggest atractions but it doesn't neccesarily means that you will have preferred access to the different buildings around. It's a big campus unlike any others I have seen, it is in the middle of Washington, DC. Great for sightseeing

GW always looks really exciting to someone who's never seen it. It's centered right in DC, so you can see the Lincoln Memorial while going across campus. I think that's something people get really excited about. Foggy Bottom, our city campus, looks exactly like the other buildings in DC. If there weren't giant George Washington heads all over you'd probably miss it! But the Mount Vernon campus is a lot closer to the college campus image you get from movies and tv. It's the best of both worlds!
