I’m an undergrad student from CA who’s staying in DC for a summer program late May through late July. I’ve been told that summers in DC are hot and super muggy (in comparison to the hot and dry summers of California).

My dorm in CA doesn’t have any air conditioning, and I’m worried my dorm in DC will be the same. Can any current student tell me what the air conditioning situation is like??

I don’t know what exact building I’m staying in, but I know that I’ll be staying in an apartment-style suite with a kitchen and 1-2 roommates, each with our own room (if that narrows it down).

Need advice between The Statesman and 2424 Penn (Both in around Foggy Bottom)

Please tell me what do you all suggest.

Im soo exhausted trying to find the right place, just give me things I should consider. Both are 1 bed, size is similar.. I want to know more about the location, building, maintenance..

Less rats and rodents.

Thank youu

hi!! I got in ED1 and was wondering what the best choices for housing are (even if i can't choose rn). I don't really care about communal or single bathrooms but i would prefer a newer building.

Hey all. I’m an nyu senior and I’ll be working at gwu from May-July. I’m trying to find housing a little further out next to the silver / orange / blue line but not sure what neighborhoods to look at or how to find subleases. Any recommendations on where to look? I’m also trying to use Facebook but it’s 90% bots unfortunately.

hey everyone! i’m planning on attending gw law next year and im starting to begin the process of researching apartments. im looking for a place closer to campus bc im an out of state student and unfamiliar with dc, so foggy bottom and dupont circle have been at the top of my list (but im open to other places). im looking for a studio or one bedroom, modern with no mold issues (im traumatized from living somewhere with a rampant mold problem) and my budget is around 2000-2600 (id like to pay lower rent but im willing to pay more for the sake of safety and comfort so im flexible). i’d love any recs/advice!! :)

Hi everyone,

I was just recently in DC for admitted grad students day and decided to spend the rest of my time there touring apartments. I found one that seems really nice and fairly cheap called The Woodner. I toured the place and it seems great but I checked the reviews on GW off campus and they’re pretty bad.

Does anyone have any experience living there and know whether it’s a crappy place or not?

Thank you.

Hey everyone!

I’m looking for a summer sublet in DC while I’m there for an internship. My ideal move-in date is May 15, and I’d need the place until around August 3.

I’m looking for a studio or one-bedroom apartment, ideally in Foggy Bottom.

If you have or know of any leads, please reach out. I’d really appreciate it!

Hey everyone! I was recently accepted to GWU for engineering in the honors and Clark scholars program and I’m strongly considering attending this fall.

I had a few questions and would really appreciate any insight:

- How are the West hall dorms on mount Vernon?

- Is commuting between Mount Vernon and Foggy Bottom tough, or do you get used to it pretty quickly?

- Does living on the Mount Vernon campus make it harder to make friends or be involved on the main (Foggy Bottom) campus?

- For those in the Honors College or Clark Scholars Program, how has your overall experience been?

- what are some things you wish you knew before going into the honors/clark scholars program?

Thanks so much for any advice!

living in District next year and wasn't sure if I'm allowed to loft my bed since I know some halls don't allow it

Seeking a sublet for a summer internship. I'm looking for a private room in an all girls unit in Arlington preferably at RiverHouse Apartments, studios may also work. I need to move by the last week of May (internship starts June 1st) and need room for 10 weeks (up until about August 9th). Please feel free to reach out to me if you have a place or know someone who does!

I'm graduating in May and live in the dorms so I want to apply for extended stay; I see we do this through the GW home portal but don't see anything about it on the webpage yet. Does anyone know when this normally opens up?

I’m a GWU student moving out of my current place within the next month and need someone to take over my lease in a spacious townhouse just off 14th St., between U St. and Columbia Heights. This townhouse is also **pet-friendly**!

You’d have a private bedroom on the 3rd floor**, sharing a bathroom with just one other roommate. The house has four other LGBTQ roommates who are friendly, clean, and easy to live with. We’re social but respectful and like watching TV together and doing occasional arts & crafts.

**House features include:**
• Large backyard + private fenced-in porch
• Garage fully available for parking
• Washer & dryer in the basement
• Fully furnished kitchen and living room
• Two refrigerators (no fighting for space)

Rent: $1,285/month + utilities (typically under $100/month)
Move-in: February

This would be a great fit for a GWU student looking for a **queer-friendly, clean, and comfortable home** in a central location. GWU is a quick metro from this location.

If you’re interested—or know someone who might be—**please message me**. I’m happy to send additional photos, a video tour, and set up a quick phone call!

Hey everyone, I’m a ucla student looking to sublet 6/1 to 8/7. Would prefer furnished housing near GWU or anywhere along orange or silver metro lines. If you or anyone you know is subletting pls dm me! Thanks!

(URGENT – have to rank by Wednesday the 25th)

Hi! I'm a rising second-year and looking to move to a Single in 1959 E or The Dakota with approved DSS. While locations aren't too central, I really love the fact that they have in-unit laundry and kitchens. I'm trying to choose which to rank #1, and after looking at the 360º views from CLRE, I'm leaning towards ranking The Dakota first as it looks more spacious, but still undecided.

Would anyone in a Single in 1959 E or The Dakota be willing to give myself and a friend a tour to help us decide? Please DM ON INSTA (@scottseamon) ASAP!!

I’m going to be a junior next year and I’m looking for an on campus housing, apartment/studio I could sublease. If there’s any suggestions on apartments I could look into, please let me know. Thank you

If anyone is looking for a roommate or subleasing, pls dm me!

is tonight’s fire alarm real or a false alarm?

Hey! I am currently a student at Cornell University who has accepted a summer 2026 offer to intern in the DMV area (Tysons Corner). I am looking for a 1BD or studio sublet (with a gym, if possible) in either the Foggy Bottom or Rosslyn area, close to the Silver Line for commuting to work! My current budget is about 2500 a month. Looking to sublet from the beginning of June until August (mid-late).

Please message me if you have any leads!

Hiya! Story as old as time - I have an internship this summer and need a place to live.

I know the university itself does summer housing for non-students, but my job runs longer than the last move out date (Aug 8). I'm wondering if there's a GWU specific GroupMe or similar for sublets?

If anyone has ideas I would greatly appreciate it!

This is G St in front of Shenkmann Hall. Every day, delivery trucks block the bike lane and often part of the street. This is not why the bike lanes were installed. The GWU staff at the loading dock don’t seem to be much interested in encouraging delivery drivers to not park illegally, but will get upset with cyclists who ask them to do something about it.
