How city is GWU?

Never been to NYU, but GWU is a city school, and there is no real “campus” if that’s what you’re absolutely looking for. You could opt to room at the Mount Vernon Campus, which does have an enclosed, campus-y feel, and some of your classes would be there, but you have to shuttle back and forth (which I find inconvenient, since most classes are on the urban Foggy Bottom campus). It’s still really nice though; it has its own pool, tennis court, etc and is worth the commute for some people. Regardless, GWU is ideal for politics, and the city is really nice & imo not so crowded like NYC. It has a more pleasant feel since it’s not AS touristy and you really feel integrated into the city’s community there, even if there isn’t a clear barrier between that of the city and that of the university.
