Being a few blocks from the whitehouse and being literally nextdoor to the IMF, World Bank…

Haha, sethlyon, it’s funny that you mention that. My sister lived in Lafayette her freshman year, just a few blocks from the White House. Then last year she lived in another dorm that was right next to the IMF and World Bank. Literally, RIGHT next to them! I was really surprised, haha.

But yes, GW housing is most excellent (they converted an old hotel - Bulova, I think? - into a dorm) and truly in the heart of the city. AU and GU are more on the outskirts.

As for comparing GW and GU, GW grants merit scholarships, while GU doesn’t, so GW would need to raise its tuition to compensate.
