Welcome to our Campus!
College is a time to grow, discover yourself and the world around you, and develop long-lasting relationships. GW has many residential communities, with unique traditions and identities, designed to give students the opportunity to realize their full potential through a wide range of programs, activities, and support services.
Getting Involved
There are so many ways for you to get involved with your residential community, no matter where you live on campus. Residents are encouraged to be active members of their communities by attending events in the halls, neighborhood, and larger GW and DC community. Students can also serve as student leaders within our Residence Hall Association (RHA) and National Residence Hall Honorary (NRHH). Students are also welcomed to apply to be a student staff member on our team.
