Housing & Dining

You can call Georgetown’s Capitol Campus apartment building home whether you’re a graduate or undergraduate student. Located steps from the campus’s academic buildings, 55 H is both a comfortable residence and a lively community. It’s been a big hit with residents since it first opened in 2022 — but graduate students and undergraduate seniors can also opt to live off-campus. The Gewirz Student Center provides apartment-style housing for up to 290 Law Center students, prioritizing first year J.D. students. 

On-Campus Living at 55 H

55 H is one of Georgetown’s newest residential communities  — and it’s an exciting place to call home. Designed to center the needs of today’s students, it offers 11 floors of modern spaces to live, work and play.

    I live on the 10th floor, and the view from the top is amazing. To look at DC from up above — it’s an awesome experience living here.

  • What’s Your Take on 55 H?

    The 55 H building has its own kind of campus vibe. Everyone interacts a lot. People are studying in the lobby, there are multiple common areas. And there’s an event pretty much every week.

  • What’s Your Take on 55 H?

    I find a lot of joy in being around my friends and cooking in the common room. I’ve been able to hang out with people more consistently and do fun activities where you can get together easily and spend time with each other.

Off-Campus Living

Some students opt to rent in one of the neighborhoods near the Capitol Campus. Apartments in modern buildings are a popular choice, but you can also share a home with fellow students in one of the District’s historic row houses.
