Campus Living & Residential Education (CLRE) supports all aspects of
residential living, creating safe, supportive, and inclusive communities
where all residents can feel at home. On-campus living is a premier
residential experience that sparks vibrant communities, cultivates lifelong
connections, promotes self-discovery, develops global leaders, and
fosters an affinity for GW.
College is a time to grow, discover yourself and the world around you,
and develop long-lasting relationships. Each residential community at
GW has its own unique traditions and identity, designed to give students
the opportunity to realize their full potential through a wide range of
programs, activities, and support services.
In your first two years, students will be required to live in one of 24
residence halls on the Foggy Bottom and Mount Vernon campuses.
Students can choose their room based on costs, hall amenities, location
and even select roommates through GW’s housing application process.
Room styles vary per hall and include multi-person units, singles, studios,
suites, and some apartment-style rooms with kitchens.
Through our affinity housing, students can live in groups of like-minded
students who share the same passion for sports, literature, film, and more.
GW’s living-learning communities — such as the Women’s Leadership
Program, Politics and Values, Sustainability, and Civics House among
others — integrate critical thinking into residential life.

A great part of a student’s time at GW will be spent outside the classroom,
in one of GW’s 24 residence halls. Students have choices when it comes
to selecting their room costs, hall amenities, building locations, and
roommates that fit their GW life.
Housing Registration: All first-year and second-year students are required
to live on campus unless approved for an exemption. Housing at GW is
based on a student’s class year at GW, not on the academic credits that a
student has.
