<p>Yeah, the GW Mount Vernon isn’t in Virginia, that’s the historical site (I also live in the area). Mount Vernon is a residential neighborhood in DC. On the tour they told us that it’s about a 10-minute bus ride away, and the only difference is that it’s more like the traditional ivy-covered liberal arts colleges in terms of its looks and size. They said that mostly freshmen choose to live there, and you can choose to have classes there or not.</p>
