Congrats! Welcome also to the Hilltop! I don’t know if you’ve done a campus tour or not but it’s a fairly small campus so wandering around for even an hour should give you a good overview of almost everything. Definitely check out the observatory though because there are super pretty views and it’s kind of a nice, secluded place. In terms of other places to go around the Georgetown area if you have time you should walk down around the waterfront, Wisconsin, and M street. They’re the three main arteries of the the Georgetown neighborhood and both have all kinds of shops and good restaurants and in the case of the waterfront, really pretty views of the Potomac. There’s a really good cupcake place on Thomas Jefferson St off of M St called Baked and Wired that’s super good if you feel like stopping for a snack. It’s also a nice (although decently long) walk to the monuments from the waterfront and it’s kinda always cool to just check out the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, WWII Monument, etc. Definitely let me know if you have any specific interests and I can recommend some other places/things to do.
