Hall on Virginia Avenue

Hall on Virginia Avenue (HOVA), 2601 Virginia Avenue, which was used as a lookout spot for the Watergate break-in, is considered one of the most infamous residence halls in the country. Offering Graduate and Professional students great views of the Potomac River and Georgetown, as well as in-depth views of life in the Watergate era, this beautiful residential facility stands opposite the Watergate complex, allowing access to the Watergate's supermarket, drugstore and florist, and the Kennedy Center, where GW students get half-price tickets.

HOVA offers approximately 200 rooms with full private bathrooms, mini refrigerators with kitchenette sinks, high-speed Internet access and a telephone line per room, cable television, and more. HOVA also features two newly constructed common space kitchens for student use.

HOVA is also an easy walk to the banks of the Potomac River and the Georgetown Waterfront, where you can watch GW's men's and women's crew teams practicing.
