Georgetown University
- Off-Campus Housing

Living in DC

I live off campus this year and will be living off campus next year as well. The interesting thing about Georgetown is that you are treated like an independent adult in all interactions with the University. The same holds true for off campus housing. If you want to live off campus it is on you to search for a place. There are always tons of houses on the market with a huge price range. If you want to live in front of the University it will be very pricey but the houses are great. If you are looking for something cheaper you can live on the other side of campus in Burleith. There is a vibrant off campus life. Georgetown owns a lot of houses outside of the gates so it is hard to define 'off campus.' I rent a house with friends but I live across the street from a dorm.

off-campus housing may be tough to get because Georgetown is a crowded area

The Townhouses Are Adorable!

I'm a freshman currently, and honestly I'm a bit terrified at the prospect of the upperclassmen housing lottery. Since there is only a certain number of university-owned townhouses and Village A rooftop apartments and other coveted residences, I've heard the whole process can be a bit dramatic. As far as I know, everyone who does live off-campus is pretty satisfied with their living situation, and the Georgetown neighborhood is relatively safe.
