<p>This is kind of a tough question. Metropolitan areas do tend to skyrocket costs and its been my experience that this definitely true for GW. Even taking the metro to get anywhere is going to run you around $4 for a round trip. And most of the things near Foggy Bottom don’t tend to be cheap. Entertainment though can be found cheap (or free) in many cases. This shouldn’t scare you aware but it is something to be aware of. </p>
<p>Gonefishing is absolutely right with the Kennedy Center recommendation and there are always other things going on… both on and off campus.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure there is a student theatre group for non-theatre majors. </p>
<p>Intermurals are big here. From my experience they’re generally dominated by the fraternity/sorority types but you can also find individual groups. There are intermurals for most of the sports you can imagine. Try looking at the Learner Health and Wellness Center webpage for a full listing.</p>
