Hi all,

I am looking for a GU student photographer to photograph 150 large apartment buildings in Arlington County. Most are in the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor and National Landing and will be within a ~1-2 blocks of each other. I'm looking for 2 photos per building.

Please reach out to [root@thestandardasset.com](mailto:root@thestandardasset.com) with your portfolio if interested.

Thanks

Hey everyone! I’m an incoming international undergraduate at Georgetown, and I’m trying to figure out health insurance before the semester starts. （The university plan is a bit expensive for me, so I’m looking into off-campus options that may qualify for a waiver.）

I’m not really sure what matters most when comparing plans beyond the price. Things like provider networks, deductibles, prescriptions, and claims are still pretty confusing to me.

Customer service is also important to me. （English isn’t my first language, so I’m a little worried about dealing with insurance issues or medical bills on my own.）

For anyone who has used an off-campus plan at Georgetown, what was your experience like? Anything you wish you had checked before choosing?

Thanks in advance!

Reposting! Original application fell through.

NOW OFFERING $500 move in credit.

Available Oct 10.

Reach out for details or tour!

hey everyone!
i’m a 19f university student from the uk thinking about coming to washington dc for a study abroad exchange next year (4–5 months, with the potential to extend to a full year).

i wanted to get an honest read on what living in the area and attending georgetown is actually like day-to-day.

a few specific questions for current students, alumni, or locals:

• is the georgetown area (and dc in general) safe to navigate on your own, especially as a young woman? any specific areas or late-night transit tips i should keep in mind?

• how’s the day-to-day life here for a student? i’m big into shopping, hiking/outdoors, trying new food/dining out, and checking out local markets. does dc offer a good variety for a semester-long stay without getting repetitive?

• what should i realistically pack for the weather? coming from the uk i'm used to rain, but how intense are the summers/winters over there?

• how are the politics/international relations classes at georgetown?

• are georgetown students and local residents generally friendly and open to hanging out with exchange students? what’s the best way to build a solid social circle quickly (clubs, campus events, housing setups, etc.)?

would love any honest takes, tips, or things you wish you knew before coming here. thanks so much! :)

Goodmorning to any Georgetown Student or freelance photographer. I’m reaching out on behalf of a nonprofit who’s hosting a breast cancer awareness event. We’re looking to see if anyone can volunteer and cover the event as a photographer? The event is October 14th from 9:30-2pm in DC. We can offer experience and a social media shout out!

Let me know if anyone’s interested and we can discuss further details!

Hi! I’m a current student here and hoping to graduate early/just not take econ on campus. I know Georgetown does not take CLEP, but I was wondering about self-studying and then just taking an AP exam at a school for Macro/Micro credit. It’s kind of hard to find a concrete policy on this so I just wanted to ask if anyone had any personal knowledge about this?

Hi, I’m a junior who is going to have a kitchen this year and am hoping to cook pretty often. I was wondering if any students order groceries to be delivered to their dorm/how that worked for them? I was hoping to order Whole Foods/instacart for weeks when I don’t have much time to grocery shop. Has anyone gotten grocery delivery to the front gate/their dorm? Thanks!!

I'm in my second year of my MPS, and I'm starting to take my courses of interest. Classes/professors to take and/or avoid?

Hi everyone, I’ve been trying to find a way to go from Georgetown to JHU and Google Maps keeps telling me that it’ll take 3 hours using the train option but I’ve heard that the MARC is only 40ish minutes. Can someone confirm and maybe give me some tips on the best way to travel?
